John Chambers John Chambers and Harriot Smith are parents of Isaac Chambers 1833 From on Wed, 8 Nov 2006 and updated 29 May 2012 I have the marriage certificate for Isaac Chambers and Selina Ann Hooper. Isaac was from the Isle of Wight, but I have not been able to find a ship for him yet. Selina was born in Cornwall, England and immigrated to Australia in 1847 on the Aboukir to South Australia with her family. They then came to Victoria about 1851.
