                Hannah Huxtable presumably married Richard Kingwell in 1851 or 52 as Richard and Hannah Kingwell appear in 1852 on the “David McIver” en route to Sydney. Richard died on 14^th. April during this voyage and Hannah arrived in Sydney on 19^th. May

                  Hannah Huxtable next appears in Maitland, NSW, as the widow of Richard Kingwell when she married George Standen on 20th. November 1852. George’s first wife, Hannah Lambert, had died on 28th. March of that year.

Richard Kingwell was probably the son of Mary Kingwell, single woman of Little Hill, who was buried 17th. September, 1850, aged 55. He would have been baptised 28 September, 1828.
