Thanks again for all of your help. The story was wonderful. I hope you enjoyed it as much as me. The grandfather in the story called Snowdon I think was William. I have seen a copy of the will and he leaves his money to his grandchildren. When doing a search for the birth of William and found one b in Lympne in Kent but I ruled it out thinking it was to far away, After reading the story about Mommy Marsh- should be Romney Marsh I realised it was him after all. Now I can't find it. poppyann

Yes, what an amazing story - how lucky is that 
So I guess we know now that John married a Jane FINDLAY - probably in Canada

Now that I have read more of the oral history I see that it was written by young Caleb's half-sister from Caleb senior's second marriage.
The second youngest son of the six sons of Henry was Caleb, who first married Louisa Elizabeth Harris 1853 in England...(who died of consumption in Canada) He married Elizabeth Boorman in England in 1868 ..moved to U.S. for a time, then back to Canada...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
following the link in Reply # 35 above to the immigration to Canada board...there is more on the family in Canada. J.J.

There are some more SOUTHON wills among the Archdeaconry Court of Canterbury Wills on the Kent Archaeological Society Site.

Just found this site and registered.
John Southon and Jane Findley were my great great grandparents I have copies of some of the relevant documents which I will transcribe later.
John married Jane (of Albany, NY) in Cobourg Canada and arrived in Australia in 1853 as noted with his two brothers. A lithograph of the 1853 "Kent" is available. They and their siblings were not left a large sum by their late grandfather Stephen (they were sons of his dead younger son), most of the family lands went to his eldest son, Stephen jnr.
The Canadian book referenced is not entirely accurate.
