In May 1844, Christopher Woodward Mawbey, labourer and orphan, was among 10 members of a Mawbey family nominated for assisted emigration to Australia.
Financial backing for this was provided by the Newport Pagnell Poor Law Union at the parish of Loughton in Buckinghamshire, England.
At that time, according to a digital record of this assisted emigration approval held by the UK National Archives at Kew, England, the spelling of the family name was MAWBEY, not MAWBY as it later became in Australia.
