Hi all
I have uploaded my people to a new tree on Ancestry and called it Downton Families, it can be found here: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/11921764/family
If anyone wants to be able to add edit etc let me have your e mails and I will 'invite' you on ancestry.
The Downton names in the list so far are:
Allen, Barrow, Brothers, Bryant, Chalk, Eastman, Hobbs, Hughes, Leopold (I think that may be an error), Light, Littlecott, Mogg, Moody, Mussell, Mussellwhite, Newman, Poore, Prince, Quinton, Shergold, Spratt, Witt and Woodward.
I hope we get lots of takers t could be a very useful resource for a lot of people.
Thank you
Sandra

Hey Nicky,
My own research centres around the Eastman family lines at the moment.
I'm trying to search out Eastman marriages in the 1700s... I have a whole pile of guesses and assumptions, but I haven't been able to find anything that even resembles concrete.
I've got the 1500s, a tad of the 1600s but it's the 1700s that I'm stuck in.
The 1800s isn't an issue as my great-grandfather was born in 1885 (my grandmother's father) and his war records (which I have) has his parents on it and it was very simple to track his family.
I am also trying to seek out any more modern Eastmans who left Downton for other areas.

I have a Charles Poore who married Eliza Beaumont in Downton.
They had George Poore and Mary Ann Poore.
Charles later married Elizabeth Henderson after the death of Eliza.
In 1853 they came to Australia.

Hi again Sandra,
They are mine. Charles, Elizabeth and Edward (Elizabeth's illegitimate son, George, Mary Ann and Jane (cannot find her birth c.1852/3.) came to Australia on board the "Magdalena" in May 1853. They settled in South Australia where they had 4 more children.
George married Emily Davis and Mary Ann married Richard Hounslow.
Kind regards,
Don.
P.S.A 6th cousin of mine is a Jan Mary Price(her maiden Name)
