THE ORIGINS OF THE BELLCHAMBERS FAMILY OF BOMBALA:
  From: Elizabeth (Betty) Gray Hirschl, granddaughter of Alice Bellchambers Kuhlmorgen.

 1. Henry Bellchambers was born in 1830, the year of his parents’ marriage.  He was baptised    30/1/1831. 
Henry’s paternal grandparents were James Belchamber (spelling is varied) and Mary (Hubbard).  Henry  lived  in Westerham, Kent, the son of Robert Bellchambers, a stone mason, and Ann Geal Bellchambers.   His father, Robert, was baptised on 16/4/1798 at West Hoathly, Sussex.  Robert and Ann Geal  (variously spelt) were married at Westerham on 25/7/1830. They had three sons\ all baptised in Westerham.
Henry baptised 30/1/1831 – married Mary Groves 1853, emigrated to Australia
Alfred baptised 27/1/1833 married Mary Fox in 1857
Amos baptised 12/6/1836, also emigrated to Australia

Robert Bellchambers died, as stated on the shipping register by his son Henry, 4/9/1841 in Edenbridge, Kent, leaving his wife, Ann a widow.  In 1851, Ann Geal Bellchambers remarried.  Her husband was Robert Parker, a batchelor.
Henry married Mary Groves of Cowden, Kent, the daughter of Robert and Sarah Groves.

Westerham is the westernmost market town in Kent, near to the border with Surrey.  From the church yard, one can see, looking towards the North Downs,the Pilgrim’s Way followed by Chaucer on his way to Canterbury.  It follows the route of the Neolithic footpad.  Westerham (pronounced Westram) remains a place of great natural beauty.  Fields of hops were grown and a brewing industry was established.  In the nineteenth century, the smell of hops processing in the brewery permeated the area.  Typical Kentish Osthouses dotted the landscape.  The Anglican church of St. Mary-the-Virgin, which dominates the town, is one of the oldest parish churches in England.

 2. Migration:  Henry and Mary left Southampton, England, on board the Hindustan on 26th October, 1856 and arrived in Sydney on 12th February, 1857.  Henry was twenty-six years old and Mary was twenty-four.  She was pregnant.  A male child was born on the voyage, a week before they disembarked from the Hindustan in Sydney.  They named the child George. George died four weeks later, on 8th March, 1857.   One can only imagine the searing February heat that confronted them in Sydney and Mary’s difficulty in caring for her new baby.

3. Mary had already given birth to two children, Henry and Sarah, both of whom died in Kent before the Bellchambers immigrated to Australia.  In the family Bible, there are three entries under the heading “Children born in England.”  They are the infants Henry and Sarah, and baby George, who died in Sydney.   A line is drawn in ink across the page. Then the names of all their children who were born in New South Wales follow.

4. Henry was listed on the passenger manifest as a labourer.   Both Henry and Mary were required to state whether they could read and write.  On the certificate, is the letter B, for both.   Amos, Henry’s younger brother, who was nineteen, accompanied them to Australia.  He is listed as being unable to either read or write.  The Bellchambers family travelled to Menangle, in New South Wales and later on, moved to Bombala, where they made their permanent home. They were parishioners of St. Matthias Anglican church in Bombala.

5.   Henry's parents are buried in the churchyard of St. Mary-the-Virgin with many of their forebears. (Thitrteen forebears are in unmarked graves). Henry's father is Robert bellchambers. Robert was married twice. 1) Sarah Clifton and 2) Ann Geal. Henry and Ann had three sons, Henry, baptised 30/1/1831, Alfred, baptised 27/1/1833 and Amos, baptised 12/6/1836. Henry and Amos immigrated to Australia. Alfred remained in England and married Mary Fox in 1857. Robert Bellchambers died 4/9/1841 at Edenbridge, Kent, leaving Ann a widow. She married Robert Parker, a bachelor, in 1851. Ann, Robert's mother, died on 24/10/1873, aged 69 years.

6. Family oral tradition claims that the name. Bellchambers, was once de Bellchambre.   Norman families settled Westerham in the aftermath of the Norman invasion of England.  Many Norman names can still be found in Westerham.  Search of documents bears out this claim.   Ann Geal Bellchambers’ name changes from Geal to Gele , Jele and Geel.   Ann Geal Bellchambers’ forebear  Richard Gele married  Clemance Chevarton, in St. Mary the Virgin Church on 27th November, 1577.  Before literacy became universal, names were sometimes recorded phonetically.  The people of Westerham  were probably Catholics until the Reformation.   St. Mary’s has one of the oldest Saxon towers in England and has a stone Saxon baptismal fount.   (Winston Churchill’s home is a few minutes drive from Westerham).   Bellchambers is spelt Belchambers in the Philimore Registries of Marriages in 1794 and 1812.

7. The earliest record of the name, de Bellchambre is in the Doomsday Book.  A Sir Thomas de Bellchambre is listed.  Probably he has no connection to our family but his name may be derived from the same village, Belencombre, near Dieppe.

His place will be hard to fill.  A widow, one daughter (Mrs. F. Gilmore), and five sons, (George, Claude, Fred,  Marshall and Roy) are left to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and father.  Two sons, Arthur and Henry, were killed in the great war.  Mrs. E.
