found a Tree which has Miriam Burgess b 27 June 1828 Ewhurst Sussex died 1863 Maitland, and her parents George Burgess 14/8/1795 Battle Sussex - 19 June 1875 Sydney & Rachel Jarman b 4 Jan 1796 Ewhurst - 1874 Newtown NSW - they married 1814 at Guestling Sussex.

NSW Bounty Immigrants has George Burgess age 43 a Overseer on a farm and family from Battle Sussex (his parents Wm Burgess & Mercy Noakes) arrived 26 Sept 1838 on ship "Palmyra".
Father George = 42 & Rachel = 42
George =22 - died 4 Aug 1890 Waterloo NSW
Spencer = 17 married 1854 Vic to Mary Ann McMahon and then to Bridget Green in 1866 - died 14 July 1892 Flats Yarra Vic.
Edmund = 13 - married Charlotte Knowlden 15 Dec 1854 Sydney - died 29 March 1894 Newtown
Miriam = 10 - married George Raymond Pidding 1849 - she died 1863 Maitland - had 7 children
Fanny = 7 - married a Thomas Hudson 1847 Sydney - died 1915 Marrickville NSW
Caroline = 4 - married (1) 1850 Henry Brown in Sydney and then (2) Thomas Marquies 1863 - she died 21 Aug 1913
William = 1 - and a note has died at sea

Now you have got me curious as we have a Martha Jarman who married a Thomas King in our family and wonder if related.....
Rachel's parents off Bounty Immigrants are John Jarman and Elizabeth Sindlin

For Mary Ann Furner - parents
Charles Furner b 17 Feb 1796 Tunbridge Kent married 25 Dec 1819 to Mary Waters at Speldhurst Kent - died 4 May 1865 Goulburn NSW.

Mary Ann Water b 31 March 1799 Sussex died 26 Dec 1869 Goulburn

Cant find family coming out but did find a Charles Furner/Turner convicted Kent 14 March 1836 and got Life, voyage date 27 Sept 1836 on ship "John". when you look at the actual copy it is Furner

Hello Val,

Thank you very much.

The Furner family in post #1 is mine. My grandmother is a Furner.

Re Charles and Mary nee Waters, 90% of the trees have the wrong Mary and the wrong parents for her. I have copies of the Children's Wesleyan baptism records from Sussex and they list Mary's parents which is very handy.

Charles was a bricklayer and he arrived with wife and 6 children:

The Sydney Herald (NSW : 1831 - 1842) - Monday 3 September 1838 p.2
SHIP NEWS.
... The William Metcalfe sailed from Gravesend the 2nd, and Plymouth the 14th. May; she touched at no place on the passage, nor did she see any vessels of consequence. ...
The William Metcalfe arrived from England on Friday last, with 220 emigrants in the most healthy condition, only one death having occurred on the voyage. Mr. Marshall certainly deserves much credit for the discrimination which he appears to have exercised in the selection of emigrants by this opportunity - for we never witnessed a more respectable looking set of people arrive in our port. Those parties who want servants should visit the William Metcalfe immediately.

The Sydney Herald (NSW : 1831 - 1842) - Wednesday 5 September 1838 p.2
DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE
LIST OF PASSENGERS PER "WILLIAM METCALFE"--George Sculthorpe, farmer; ...
... Charles Furner, bricklayer and stonemason, wife and six children;


Daughter Eliza was the only one assisted:

TURNER Eliza - Needlewoman - Meth. -16y 18 Nov 1837 - R&W - Meresfield, Sussex - Charles (Bricklayer) Mary

The name is sometimes Turner but mainly Furner in Sussex and NSW records.

I posted this because I'm puzzled by the missing marriage reg and by the 2nd Mary Ann.

Dave
