Research Notes

Harriet's brother Thomas shows up on the immigration records as immigrating under his surname Adcock, arriving in 1848 aboard the ship Thetis. and then marries Martha Port/Part. AT some point he changed his surname to "Brudenell". Although Martha is registered upon death with the surname "Adcock".

more extensive information about the family and Thomas and his two marriages can be found on the following link becaus apparently all the Adcock brothers adopted the name Brudenell: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/18160492/person/623563095/facts

it also appears that Harriet had another son after the death of George, a child by the same Name- George Adock Woodburgess, and she is recorded on the death registration as "Harriett Brudenell".
