MAWBY's in WESTERN AUSTRALIA
The state of Western Australia (WA) has a FREE online historical BDM index. THANK YOU STATE GOVERNMENT of WA! Elderly family historians struggling to survive on pensions very much appreciate your generosity in making this available.
The WA historical family history records range from:
births 1841-1932;
marriages 1841-1936;
deaths 1841-1964
That branch of the family spelt MAWBY predominates over MAWBEY in Western Australia. There is only one entry for MAWBEY in the WA index of births, deaths and marriages and this was for a marriage betweeen WILLIAM MAWBEY and EMMA THOMAS at Boulder in 1910.
There were five marriages recorded under the spelling variant MAWBY and these all occurred between 1921 and 1936 which is beyond the scope of this family history.
However, 10 of the 14 recorded MAWBY births in WA were much earlier, ranging from 1897 to 1912 which is within the timeframe of this project.
Six of these children were born to JOHN HENRY MAWBY and ALICE SOPHIA JAMES. The first born, ARTHUR HENRY, was born in 1897 in Coolgardie, the next three, ERNEST CRAIG, LILY RUTH and PERCIVAL GEORGE, Fremantle, and the last two unnamed infants who were stillborn at Kalgoorlie and Chidlows Well.
The deaths of the parents, JOHN HENRY and ALICE MAWBY, and all their children are recorded.

Colonial Times, Hobart, Tuesday 7 October 1856
Monday 6 October. Thomas Dobson and JOHN MAWBY were placed on trial for the burglary at the house of Morton Allport, on the night of 25th August. They pleaded not guilty. Mr Brewer appeared for the prisoner, MAWBY. Witness Mrs Allport deposed she saw MAWBY whilst sitting at a window seeking employment as a sweep with her servant. She also saw him 'surveying with apparent interest' the area of the house where the break-in occurred. On 27 August, MAWBY pawned an overcoat at a pawnbroker in Argyle-street in the name of Smith. Next day he went back and pawned a hat in the name of MAWBY.
An alibi for MAWBY was provided by Samuel Barker, of New Town, a brickmaker, who had known the defendant for nine years. He claimed MAWBY had been at home at the time of the alleged burglary. The jury found MAWBY guilty.
If this is the transported convict, JOHN MAWBY, also a brickmaker, he was aged 32 at the time of this indictment.

Welcome to MAWBY FAMILY AUSTRALIA
After I started researching the family history of my own family name, MAWBEY, a couple of months ago, I found a lot of information about the variant spelling, MAWBY.
Being the type of person who does not like to throw things out, I decided to include the MAWBY information in my MAWBEY blog.
However, the time has come to make a new 'wardrobe' for the MAWBY outfits because they are making the MAWBY one too crowded.
So here it is.
Welcome to MAWBY FAMILY AUSTRALIA. I hope you can add to the information I have found.
