Biographies

CHOMLEY, ARTHUR WOLFE (1837-1914), judge, was born on 4 May 1837 at Wicklow, Ireland, the fifth son of Rev. Francis Chomley, vicar of Wicklow, and his wife Mary Elizabeth, née Griffith, ward of Lord Downes, chief justice of Ireland, with whom she resided after her father's death until her marriage. After eighteen years of happy married life Francis Chomley died in 1847 and his widow decided to take her seven sons to Australia. She arrived at Port Phillip in February 1849 in the Stag with her sons, and soon afterwards built a home in High Street, Prahran, where the family lived for some years.
