Being a featured page was very beneficial as User:RichardK looked at the information and did some research which changed what we know of the family Sarah was born into. From 2 siblings, Richard's research made it known that she was the eldest of 8 children.
About Sarah Brookman
Sarah Brookman grew up in London, England prior to moving to Victoria, Australia during the gold rush years. She had a stately and quiet disposition with an abundance of auburn crisp curly hair.
Sarah was born on the 28th September 1835 in Middlesex, England and she was baptised in Saint Mary's church in Harmondsworth on the 27th December 1835. Sarah was one of three known girls to James Brookman and Ann Caley. Amongst family researchers there have been variations recorded on who Sarah Brookman's Parents were so an article has been created to discuss the various options. The Brookman Surname also has some guessed at variations as too where and how it originated.
Sarah arrived in Victoria, Australia on the 1st July 1853 via the sailing ship Genghis Khan 1853 Voyage to Australia aged 18. The ship departed Liverpool, England 25th March 1853 and came by the Great Circle route.
From the 8th July 1853 Sarah was working as a domestic servant, governess for Mr Townsend in Russell St, Melbourne earning wages of 25 pound for 3 months, with rations.
I read that anecdotal evidence states that Sarah returned to England and later returned to Australia.
Sarah’s religion was initially Church of England and she later become Catholic. Her husband, Peter was a Catholic and it is likely that either his influence or the fact that the catholic church did not recognise marriages conducted in other churches possibly had something to do with this conversion.
In the Roney family bible there is a list which was most likely started by Sarah and has been added to since. It includes their twelve children, grandchildren and great grandchildren including birth and death dates. The bible remained in the family and has passed down through Catherine's line and it is currently looked after by Mary McCormack (South).

Parents James and Ana Brookman from Knightsbridge and her fathers profession is a “Workman in a ??? house”. Looking at the writing with the bias that I have, I think it says Workman in a brew house. Under this there is a note that reads; “born Sept 28th”.
