Biographies

On 20 March 1809, Elizabeth "Betsy" Clarke (born about December 1787) married freed convict William Wybrow in St Phillip's Anglican Church, York St, Sydney. He was 36 and she was 21 years old at the time and though her name is shown as Crookshank on the registry, all other references to her are as Clarke. They had 6 children: Susannah (born 26 April 1812), James (born 5 June 1814), Mary (born 6 December 1815 who went on to marry her step-brother John Richard Tindale), Elizabeth (born about 1817), David (born 24 November 1817), and Jane Wybrow (born about 1818). William Jnr, born 7 August 1819, while christened William Wybrow, is generally known as William Tindale and believed to be the son of the convict John Poad Tindale, with whom Elizabeth was living by 1820 at his Penrith estate, “Hornseywood”. Elizabeth’s children from her marriage to William Wybrow lived with them and, on 6 April 1830, John Tindale's son, John Richard Tindale, married Elizabeth's daughter, Mary Wybrow (born 6 December 1815) in Kelso, NSW; he was 20 years old and she was 14.
By 1855 John Richard had left Elizabeth and was living in the inner suburbs of Sydney (Glebe and St Leonards) with Caroline Sollis.
