Hi Dave,

The Cambridge records are on FMP, but other than the marriage you have put here, there is no other information :(

Thanks Amanda.

As well as no longer having the images of Cornwall parishes FS seems now to have very few marriages. They seem to be removing records that used to be free.

Dave - this is long and involved (but could have been longer). I have 'sources' for my data, but omitted them in the interests of clarity. If anything is of interest, I will gladly expand.

What follows is of people I believe are relations of Philip SAINTY who went to AU in 1849

I found the same marriage in Wisbech. I have not obtained the certificate.

I found a birth registration of a Philip SAINTY in Wisbech in 1850. In 1851 this child was with parents John and Elizabeth SAINTY in Canal Street, Wisbech. There were other children born 1839-1847. Most born in Wisbech, but one in Downham. John SAINTY was born in Watlington in 1818 and was a coal merchant.

Philip was Chr 21st May 1854 in Wisbech, which is a while after he was born. I note that the SAINTYs who came to AU were Wesleyan.

I believe there must be some connection between the Philip who went to Australia and the John and Elizabeth SAINTY who were in Wisbech in 1851 - surely too much of a coincidence that John and Elizabeth name a son Philip shortly after Philip gets married in the same place, and travels to AU.

John and Elizabeth SAINTY were in Parsonage Lane Downham Market in 1841. This is the same street as other members of the SAINTY and YULL families were in this year and later. John was a chimney sweep, an occupation that other members of the families plied.

J and E were still in Wisbech in 1854 as a child is buried there at that date. I was unable to find them in 1861, and it is possible John SAINTY is the man who sailed to AU on the Yarra Yarra in October 1856.

I believe Philip married in AU in 1850 - but I don't know what happened to first wife Harriet WESTON. Bride was Isabella FITCHER. I have not researched this further.

I have found that Henry SAINTY, Philip's father, married again in Downham Market after Mary Ann nee YULL died - 1837. Bride was Susan(na) RUST. There are 2 daughters who are named SAINTY in later records, but the births of these girls was before the marriage 1833 and 1836. Susan was living in Parsonage Lane Downham Market.

Eliza Rust SAINTY married either Thomas William CHILD or Samuel James GOWERS in 1861 in West Ham. I have not researched this further.

Fanny Rust SAINTY married Henry FRISBY in 1869 Downham. I have not researched this further.

The mother of these 2 girls was born Susan(na) RUST c 1801. Her unmarried brother Steven RUST was with her in many census.

After Henry died she married John DICKERSON (1845) in Downham. She was living in Parsonage Lane in 1851 and 1861. I have yet to find her in later records.

Hi Shirley and welcome to the Forum.


Many thanks for all that info. I will go through what I have in my tree and then do some more searching to try and confirm a few things.

I can't find John Sainty in shipping records.

The 'Yarra Yarra' of 1850s seems to be only a coastal freighter on east coast of Australia.

A death for spouse Elizabeth ?

A death for John if he did end up in Australia?


I can't find a connection between John, Henry and Robert. Baptisms for the three?

Dave, I am going to reply in pieces.

You said.

I can't find John Sainty in shipping records.

The 'Yarra Yarra' of 1850s seems to be only a coastal freighter on east coast of Australia.

A death for spouse Elizabeth ?

A death for John if he did end up in Australia?

I reply - I believe I found John SAINTY in NSW. He was an orchardist in Turramurra, According to a newspaper cutting on ancestry he was from Wisbech, and was not only an orchardist, he was also a master chimney sweep and a grocer. He died in NSW in 1882, so a death rego should be available free on line. I think the wills are also available.

Trove is a good site for AU newspapers, and is also free.

According to a tree on ancestry John was the son of Henry SAINTY and Mary Ann YULL, which makes him Philip's brother, but I have not done this research myself. I think the NSW death is the way to go, as this should have John's parents listed.

I have another YULL/SAINTY marriage in my YULL research, but I have not linked the 2 YULL people, so I will not cloud the issue here. If you want to know more pls let me know. My focus is on the YULL family.

Dave, I have made a previous post that does not yet shw up (as I am new member being moderated). After reading your post re Philip's death, I found this on trove - Cumberland Free Press Oct 1896

Mrs. Isabella Sainty — one of the best known residents of Parramatta — died at her house, Boundary and Inkerman streets, on 18th, from bronchial pneumonia. Mrs.Sainty, at first in conjunction with her husband, and after his death by herself — was associated with the chief business life of the town of a preceding generation. For many years the ironmongery and hardware establishment conducted by them, in Church-street, was amongst the leading houses of the town. Mr. Sainty's death by accident in the centre of the town, over a score of years ago is still fresh in the memories of many old residents. His widow (the lady just deceased) carried on the business till a few years ago, when it was handed over to her sons, and ultimately closed. Mrs. Sainty was a native of Argyleshire, Scotland, and arrived in this colony with her parents (Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher) 67 years ago as an infant. She was married to Mr. P. Sainty in the ' fifties,' and shortly afterwards they settled in Parramatta where they entered on business as above men- tioned. Several children were the result of the marriage, of whom five survive, viz., two daughters — Mrs. Chapman (of Woollongong), Mrs. Booth (of Parramatta), and three sons Messrs. Henry R., Archibald Fletcher, and Charles W. Sainty. The deceased lady was throughout her long life an ardent member of of the Wesleyan Church, and was formerly one of its most prominent adherents and supporters in Parramatta, and later in Granville. In her later years, however, she led a very retired life; and her health became extremely feeble. Her last illness extended over two weeks only. Her remains were interred in the old Wesleyan cemetery on Tuesday afternoon last in the presence of a large gathering of members of the Wesleyan Church and other townsmen. The Rev. P. J. Stephen officiated at the grave. Amongst those present were Mr. G. T. Hunt, J.P., Messrs. W. R. Murray, Mr. H. Taylor, J.P., Mr. W. Hart and others.

Thanks Geoff.

They arrived probably together and probably unassisted.

The Sydney Morning Herald - Friday 22 January 1864 p.6
Immigrants per 'Ocean Empress'
Name of Immigrant - Name of Depositor
...
Sainty, John - Elisabeth Sainty

Elizabeth was in the colony when John arrived in 1864. Funeral notice 300 Crown st.

We now have enough to say John is probably Philip's brother although no baptism found.
