ELIZABETH HOBDAY
DIED 21 FEB 1905 AGED 81.
PEACEFULLY SLEEP.
Louisa (“Louie”) Hobday was born in 1848 at Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, England. In 1851, aged 3, Louie was recorded on the census with her father Joseph Hobday (a watchmaker), her mother Elizabeth, and her siblings Henry (4), Joseph (1) and Arthur (1 week). By 1861 the family had emigrated to Australia.
On 1 February 1884 Louie married Stephen Atcherley (another immigrant from England, and a tea merchant who co-founded the Atcherley and Dawson company – see An Atcherley in Australia) at the Yarra Street Wesleyan Church in Geelong. Stephen and Louie had two children, Annie Beatrice Atcherley (born 19 Sep 1884, died unmarried 2 Jul 1955) and Stephen Stanley Atcherley.
Sadly, Louie died shortly after the birth of her son, at Llandrillo, Henry Street, Hawthorn, Victoria. The infant Stephen Atcherley followed his mother to the grave at the age of 9 weeks.

The life of Jack Rowland Atcherley was, to say the least, full of ups and downs. His father, Rowland John Atcherley, was married – but not to Jack’s mother, Emma Wheeler. During his early years Jack was in trouble with the law both in his native England and in the country to which he emigrated, Australia. He himself had a child born out of wedlock, but he then married and for many years led a respectable life as a scientist and public servant. His reputation was however left in tatters after he was found guilty of assault in 1948.
Jack served with the Australian Imperial Force during the First World War and was one of the ANZACs who fought (and was wounded) at Gallipoli. For more on Jack’s life see Jack Rowland Atcherley’s World War One.
