[From the Booklet : Stephen Partridge; 1793 - 1878; Soldier - Settler by the Society]
"Also in the year 1833, Mr [John] Cross made application to the Colonial Secretary on behalf of Mr. Stephen Partridge, requesting that Partridge be given permission to marry his assigned servant. [Magistrate] Mr Sullivan, rebuked by the Colonial Secretary, was asked to explain why a female servant could be assigned to a widower. The banns of marriage between Stephen Partridge and his assigned servant, Julia Cotterdown, were posted at Port Macquarie on 13 November 1833."
"War Office records show he was born at 'Armitage' in the Dorset Parish". Maybe this should have read Hermitage
[His birthplace has also been listed as Crewheren, Crewkerne, Somersetshire and Cookham, Berkshire but Armitage (from his army records) is regarded as the most reliable]
"Where Born : Cookham Berkshire"
"Stephen Partridge was baptised in Crewkerne, Somerset,England. It's not Cookham because while holidaying in England I called in to Taunton Somerset Records office to check on Stephen's baptism and the Crewkerne is correct."
"His birth certificate gives this date of 30 June 1793 for his Baptism (probably) at Cookham, Somersetshire"
[Due to evidence from Debbie Collumbell, Cookham as indicated by the Society is not accepted as his place of Baptism]
[Registration no : 9095 / 1878]

[ancestry.com has transcribed the name incorrectly as Julia COTLER DOWN]
"Mr Thomas Gill ...... arrived at Albany with Sir Richard Spencer the first Government Resident of the locality, in H.M.S. Buffalo, on September 13, 1833"
[The Register (Adelaide, SA : 1901 - 1929)
Monday 5 January 1903 Next Page 4. As the boat was in Western Australia on 13 September 1833, it is reasonable to give a Sydney arrival date of September 1833]
