Benjamin Benjamin

It is thought that Benjamin BENJAMIN, who died in 1837 aged 62 in Hobart Town, was the father of Henry Samuel BENJAMIN, whose tombstone reads -

Here Reposeth Henry Samuel Benjamin
Who died on his passage to Melbourne on the
19th March and was interred amongst
his people 23rd July 5612 -1852
also Eve relict of Benjamin Benjamin
who departed to eternal life on Sunday
14th July age 68 years 5612 - 1852
also Montefiore Benjamin 1875-1938
also his wife Myra 1875-1953

It is not known when he and his wife Eve arrived in Van Diemen's Land, but Henry arrived from London with his wife and children in 1832. Passengers Mr and Mrs Benjamin arrived from London on the barque Derwent in February 1837.
There were other Benjamins in the small Jewish community in colonial Hobart Town but it is not known if or how they may have been related.
