Both the Wingrove and Wingrave histories in Australia can be traced in some cases to prisoners from England. In later years Wingrove and Wingrave families came to Australia for free land , gold and new opportunities.
Much of this information has been provided by Submitters to WINGROVES of the WIDE WORLD
Some Births Death & Marriage information has come from NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages Index which had free access at one point. Wingrave entries are here and Wingrove entries here

Re EMILY WINGROVE who arrived in Sydney Australia aboard 'Kate' in 1856 with her brother Jabez Wingrove and his wife Mary Amelia Shepherd.
They were offspring of Eneas Wingrove and Ann Scott [mar. 25 May 1828]
Children:
Selina (Wingrove) [bap 8 Nov 1829],
Emily Ada (Wingrove) [born 19 Oct 1830, d 14 May 1912 Geelong, Victoria, AUS]
Alfred (Wingrove) and
Jabez Eneas (Wingrove) b 1835
[All born in Trowbridge].
Ann (Scott Wingrove) died 10 Dec 1835 at Mortimer St Trowbridge.
Eneas and his second wife Rebecca had
Celia (Wingrove) 1843,
Edmund (Wingrove) 1845 and
John Edmund (Wingrove) 1848
[All born in Trowbridge].
On the voyage in 1856, Emily Wingrove met Samuel Perriton b 1832 and his brother Richard both quarrymen from near Kingsbridge, Devon. She married Samuel at St Paul's Church of Engand, Redfern [Sydney] 15 April 1857.
Their children all born in Victoria, Australia were:
George Edward 1858-1941,
Emma 1860-1860,
Annie Scott 1861-1947,
Jessie 1863-1867,
Twins Emily 1866-1926 and
Christina 1866-1866,
Minnie Christina 1868-1873,
Julia 1871-1947.
The family settled in Geelong, Australia about 1867 and most descendants are still in the area although the Perriton name is now extinct.
I am a descendant on an all female line but the Wingrove name has been used as a second given name in several instances.
My records show Eneas [or Aeneas] to be the son of Robert Wingrove and Sarah Pobjoy.[Added Feb 2006] Selina Wingrove was the older daughter - either she or Celia was a dressmaker and had been involved in making the wedding dress for Princess Alice who was the present Queen's great aunt. I recall my grandmother [1890-1989] speaking of this and someone [probably Emily] had a handkerchief or similar that was an offcut of the fabric. After Samuel's accidental death [suffocated in a trench collapse] Emily lived with her daughter Annie whose daughter Eva [my grandmother] recalled her well although as her memory faded she thought of herself still as Emily Wingrove. Jabez was definitely a full brother and there was contact in years past with the Sydney family. There is a photo in my collection of one of his grandsons in WW1. My grandparents' house was called Wingrove. Annie and Julia Perriton were the only two who had issue and one of Julia's granddaughters several years back seeking a new professional identity chose to take the name Wingrove for this. Both Annie and Julia had used it as a second given name for offspring but neither of these produced offspring of their own [Added Feb 2006] I have recently made a new discovery about Emily. As part of the Victorian Parliament 150th anniversary this year a huge Women's Suffrage petition compiled in 1891 [and in very fragile condition] has been microfilmed and transcribed [approx 30,000 female names] and Emily is a signatory on this [as Mrs Perriton, Autumn St, Geelong West] and so is her youngest daughter Julia. [Many names in pencil are now almost unreadable]. On the web site you can access the original pages and I have favourably compared the writing with that on her marriage certificate although this was as Wingrove. Samuel Perritton was illiterate so through their marriage she probably would have managed any paperwork. As the only descendant on an all female line I was delighted to find that as a widow in her 60s she still had that pioneering spirit.I have further information and would be happy to share memorabilia I have with descendants of Jabez Wingrove.
