My paternal grandmother was Amy Louise Chadwick who married William Richmond of Colac, Victoria.

I got her birth certificate which showed  she was born 1877 Bacchus Marsh, Ballan Reg. Dist,  Vic. and her father was Henry Chadwick born London, bank clerk at Ballan, Victoria.
Henry Chadwick bc 1845 London, married in Victoria and said his mother was Fanny maiden name Webster, and father Henry Chadwick gentleman.
Searching for the birth certificate in England  for Henry  the son of Fanny and Henry Chadwick around 1845 had found none.

1852 
Fanny Chadwick arrived by  sailing ship " John Taylor"  from England. in Melbourne Sept.1852 with one son, Henry Chadwick aged  6  . 

Also  on the same ship  WM JAMES BOOBIER aged 26  - bc 1826.

Also on this ship a  MR  HENRY CABLE- [no age]  SEP 1852 " JOHN TAYLOR" British008 008 see middle name of Henry Chadwick [bc 1845]  first son.

 William John Chadwick  was bc 1849  arrived from England October  1862  on board the "Prince of Wales", aged   11  with Hannah SKINNER  and her parents and siblings.[see below brownish text] She later married Williams brothe Henry Chadwick.

 Births Sep 1850 ,  Webster  William John     Westminster  Vol 1 p  44[35]  - no mother was  MN  Mary Donahue and illiterate and father was a cook porter.
April 2009  sent for birth cert of one- I  hope his mother's surname is  Webster or Chadwick ? WRONG
If so it will be interesting to see who she puts as the father?

1851 CENSUS  WAS TAKEN 30 MARCH 1851 A SUNDAY NIGHT.
WILLIAM JOHN WEBSTER WITH BOOBIER AND FANNY WEBSTER WAS 1 MONTHS OLD ... BORN MAY 1850 AT 

SO NOW I SEE THRERE IS A WILLIAM WEBSTER BORN IN MSX POPLAR  REGISTERED IN Mar  QTR 1850   SO COULD NOT BE 11 MONTHS OLD.. IN CENSUS  VOL 2 PAGE. 347 
 

Webster  William    Poplar  2 347
1854.
Fanny  Webster CHADWICK married in Victoria, William James BOOBIER 1854.   St Peters church [East] Melbourne. Fanny  said on that  m certificate that she was a widow with 2 children and her husband had died October 1849.  At the time of her marriage she was living Collingwood, aged 29. She said then that she was the born Brackley Northamptonshire,  daughter of Joseph WEBSTER  farmer and Mary BENNETT .
On Marriage certificate: William James BOOBIER  occ. contractor, aged 27 [ b.c. 1837]  London, father was William Boobier, occ. merchant,  mother Mary Ann BETTGER 

MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE William James Boobier to Fanny Webster Chadwick 1854 Victoria Australia .

So far NO PROOF EXISTS that any Henry Chadwick that died in England  October 1849  had been married to Fanny Webster. 
NO PROOF EXISTS of Fanny Webster marrying any man named Chadwick anytime in England, Scotland or Wales.

[No Henry Chadwick death  is registered on the  free bmd site for  qtr. December 1849,  and none on the  St Catherine's film,; one death is reg for March qtr 1850 of a Henry Chadwick at Preston district, 7 236 - I  got his death certificate- wrong wife was with him at the time of death. I got this certificate today 16 Aug 2004 and it doe not give his father - but date of death does not tally  with our Fanny Webster of Brackley, Northamptonshire's  statement- and present at death was an illiterate person named Sarah Bryant in Brighton Hospital, his occupation was coachman, he was a male aged 30 yrs, date of death 27th January 1850]

The only  clues to the name  Henry Chadwick's father are all sourced from Fanny maiden name Webster,:

1 -  on her son Henry Chadwicks death certificate when he died 1882 in South Fitzroy - his father was said to be  Henry Chadwick  occupation gentleman - which was often used if his occupation was unknown. the informant was Henry's step father William James BOOBIER, produce Merchant, Sandhurst.

2 - on her 2nd sons marriage certif. William John Chadwick says his father was Henry Chadwick too!

Further investigation shows  that so far [Oct. 2008]  we have  no proof of  the father/s  of Fanny's sons ..

The 1851 Census in England covered all living souls and those on ships at anchor and in prisons:
The only possible Fanny  and two sons co shows here- no Chadwick family of the correct ages and names exists.

The things  I know about the folk above are :
Fanny Webster and her son Henry changed  surnames to CHADWICK on boarding ship to Australia   with  William Boobier  in 1852 
From Census 1851 London it seems that  William John Chadwick  who joined Fanny BOOBIER in Melbourne, was named in England,  William  John Webster bc  Oct  1850 and was left  behind in England when his mother and borther Henry went to come to Australia, he left England when he was 11 years old travelling in the same ship as the Skinner family. [Often  infants were left in care of their grandparents ?]
Fanny Webster Chadwick said  [on her m cert Vic.] her mother's maiden name was Mary BENNETT b OXF.  But from the Census 1851 it seems that probable  Mary Bennett  had not married Joseph Webster, Fanny's father.

What I do not know
What is Mr Keeling.- a single landlord  in a big house? perhaps the father of William Webster aged 11m.in 1851 census. not likely as the Chadwick name is not for nothing.

Did Fanny Webster start life as a Bennett? and marry a Webster. perhaps her "father  Joseph Webster" was her husband actually and father of the children?
Think I'll look for Fanny Bennett marry a Joseph Webster near the place of birth of her first child Henry? nothing likely.

I decided  in the face of  evidence so far that
1) Fanny Webster  had not been  married in England to a Mr Chadwick Dec 1849, as she said in Victoria m Cert.

2.) her mother told a white lie  on the census that her surname  BENNETT was her married name but  actually her maiden name? a small lie?

By 1851 (fn. 21) there were 85 teachers in Edmonton, including 13 governesses and one private tutor, and 392 children at 13 boarding-schools. The largest boarding-school was College House in Upper Fore Street, next to the Bell inn, which was attended by 93 boys and run by the White family from before 1840 (fn. 22) until 1887 when it moved to Eastbourne."

"A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 5
Hendon, Kingsbury, Great Stanmore, Little Stanmore, Edmonton Enfield, Monken Hadley, South Mimms, Tottenham"
Wonder where I might find any school records for this  White's school?

The earliest records  relating  to Fanny Webster of Brackley are from the Mormons LDS records :-
Fanny Webster :  IGI 
Christening:  07 Apr 1822   Brackley, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England
Parents: Joseph WEBSTER    Mother:  Mary [BENNETT mother's maiden name-  from her m certificate in Victoria]

And their  IGI:
Mary's surname  was BENNETT   in  the Oxfordshire  IGI  of a marriage between Joseph Webster and Mary Bennett 16 November 1803 at Dunstew Oxfordshire - Oxfordshire film no 72 50014 /14
--------------------------------
So I believe that our Fanny Webster was born around  1820  at Brackley. Northamptonshire England, her father was Joseph Webster and  mother Mary Bennet. 
--------------------------------
The 1841 Census for  Brackley showed no Websters  in Brackley St James.parish but in St peters parish:

the above Webster sisters do not appear to be working for the Jackson's so therefore are possibly family members and as Harriott (Harriet) was also not of the County the possibility is.......she is also a Webster?

Now I got this  info who are the LEES in this household.?
So i  think   her mother might be Mary Bennett [ Fanny said her mothers maiden name was Mary Bennett]  as she has a small baby to care for.

So I look for Fanny Bennett getting married about 11 years ago from 1851 census and lo and behold free bmd shows a possible m to  Mr LEES then why is she called WEBSTER

from Bryant: makes sense 
1839 PETERBORO
JOSEPH JACKSON married HARRIET WEBSTER in the March qtr of 1839 within the district of PETERBORO

PETERBORO spans the boundaries of Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Huntingdonshire and..................NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
 

Your FANNY WEBSTER had three sisters..........and probably more siblings beside

HANNAH WEBSTER C.24TH OCT 1813.......BRACKLEY
CHARLOTTE WEBSTER C. 6TH SEPT 1818.......BRACKLEY
ELIZA WEBSTER C.27TH OCT 1819........BRACKLEY

Parents of all four (including Fanny) are JOSEPH WEBSTER& MARY

*Fanny when she married in OZ in 1854 said she was 29.........making her birth 1824/5.........and as she was christened in 1822 we can safely say she is not good on dates...........or does she like bending the truth?

later reply17 from experienced genealogist.
"Harriet wasn't a sister of Fanny ...... a cousin she probably was!
Fanny was staying with her Cousin Harriet and her husband as well as Harriet's younger sister..... Fanny was born 50 miles away from her cousins, but they appear never to have lost contact as a family!!
Joseph & Mary WEBSTER   moved to London as per William the son's birth in London, Middlesex approx 1821-1825
John (Joseph's brother?) & Mary stayed in Glinton, Northamptonshire .... but at least two of their girls moved to London.....one of them got married ie Harriet.........then Fanny who was living north of the Thames ie Middlesex then moved to south of the Thames ie Surrey.......just a few miles away.
