[gibbo]

Not sure if this will help or not. Just thinking they may have travelled here together and might be easier to find them with both names.

A brother for Hannah

Thanks Geoff.

Parents of Joseph, John & Edward - John & Sarah

I don't have John b. abt 1814 in 1841.


Thanks gibbo.

Yes, I lift some names out of post #1.

 

[DaveHam9]

I think Joseph and Hannah and son James and Rupert and Ann and daughter would have arrived together around 1858. Plus possibly John Wilcox.

James married in NSW Presbyterian. Don't have his burial but wife was buried Presbyterian so James could have been CofE. Joseph and Hannah buried at St Peters but that's a suburb - don't think it means the name of a church - does not give which portion.

Joseph's brothers John & Edward ended up in NSW but I have nothing in my tree for possible arrival date.


Arrival for Edward looks ok with father = John and mother = Sara

 

[DaveHam9]

Rupert is Robert in one census being a more common name.

COOKE ?

This might be the correct one although I had the earlier COOK one in my tree before.

Births Sep Qtr 1840
COOKE James Ashton under Lyne 20 22

No sign in NSW of it being COOKE.

 

[DaveHam9]

Seems not Assisted to NSW.

The above looks like the right arrival for John [Joseph's brother]

[DaveHam9]

The shipping reel that is on-line for 'Queen of England' has this on the last page:

Liverpool 18 March 1859
Sydney 8 July 1859

The 2nd reel 2478 has the arrival date as 8 July 1858.

1859 is correct.

Reel 2478
Edward 39 Labourer Ashton Under Lyne Lancashire John and Sarah dead C.E. Read 2 Brothers John and Joseph both at Newtown Good None Rem Refs
Margaret 44 Wife Ashton Under Lyne Lancashire James and Anne father living in Lancashire mother dead C.E. Both None Good None

It looks as though either John or Joseph paid for Edward and family. There is no £1 in the last column.
