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. (Thirteen forebears are in unmarked graves). Henry’s father is Robert Bellchambers. Henry’s mother Is Ann Geal Bellchambers. They had three sons, Henry,baptised 30/1/1831. Alfred baptised 27/1/1833 and Amos, baptised 12/6/1836. Henry and Amos immigrated together to Australia. Alfred remained in England and married Mary Fox in 1857. Robert, Henry, Alfred and Amos’ father, was baptised 16/4/1798, the son of James Belchamber and Mary (Hubbard) in West Hoathly, Sussex. Robert died 4/9/1841 at Edenbridge, Kent, leaving Ann a widow. She remarried Robert Parker, a bachelor, in 1851. Their mother, Ann, died on 25th October 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.

AMOS BELLCHAMBERS’ - OBITUARY NOTICE – Bombala Times
Mr. Amos Bellchambers, an old and respected resident of the district, died in the Bombala Hospital on Monday last. Mr. Bellchambers had been ailing for some time with kidney trouble, but nothing serious was anticipated until quite recently, when complications set in, and the end came all too swiftly. The deceased was born at Menagle 63 years ago, but came to Bombala at the age of twelve, and has resided here ever since. He was for many years in the Government service under the Roads Engineer. and after the inception of Local Government, he went over to the Bibbenluke Shire Council, and was in the employ of that Council until the day of his death. He ranked high in the estimation of his employers, and whenever a skilled and responsible officer was needed for special work, such as culverts, bridge building or cement pipe work, it was Mr.Bellchambers who was called on. 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. Hyde, of this town, is a sister of the deceased. The funeral on Tuesday was very largely attended, and among the chief mourners were Mr. H. Bellchambers (brother) and Mrs. W. Woods (sister). The Shire Council was represented by the President (Mr. Sautelle), Engineer (Mr.Sams), and the Clerk (Mr. Langley). The Rev. Mr.Wilson of Delegate, read the burial service in the absence of the Rev. Mr. Sherris.
