Ebenezer Shoobridge (1820–1901) was an Australian politician. He represented the Electoral district of New Norfolk in the Tasmanian House of Assembly from the 1882 election until he was defeated at the 1886 election.[1]
Shoobridge was born at Maidstone, Kent, England in 1820. He moved with his family to Van Diemen's Land in 1822. His father was one of the first people to grow hops in Tasmania.[2]
Shoobridge was married three times. He married Charlotte Giblin in 1841. She died in January 1879. He then married Annie Paxton (née Bruce) in July 1880. She died in April 1886 and he next married Louisa Caroline Collins-Harvey in August 1886.[2]
