Wow Ben66son, thank you so much for this, and to find you have DNA match with the family.

Can you just clarify the first three lines regarding John Hill please.  Bit confused about Mary Fitzpatrick, where does she fit in?

Hi 
Subject William Batson and Elizabeth Silvester.

Elizabeth Silvester was born Elizabeth Hill , daughter of John Hill, convict per Ann and Mary Neale , a widow of Peter McCann and James Neale (both convicts). Mary Fitzpatrick (aka Fitzgerald) arrived per Atlas 1801. 
Elizabeth was born  25 August 1815   baptised  24 December 1815 at St Mathew’s, Windsor, NSW
She had an older sister Eleanor born March of 1812.
John Hill and Mary Neale married 24 May 1813 ar St Mathew’s Windsor.

Elizabeth first married Antonio Silvester (aka Da Silva, Silva, Sylvester) came free, as ship crew - origin Portugal
They married in 1833 at Sutton Frost. 
NSW Bdm 340/1833 V183340
Their only child Mary Ann Silvester was born in 30 October 1840.  Baptism on 19 December 1841 ( Goulburn district)

In 1842 Elizabeth left Antonio, presumely taking her daughter with her.
Antonio placed an ad stating her would not be responsible for his wife’s debts and he would prosecute anyone harbouring her.

Elizabeth married William Batson in 15 August 1843.
NSW BdM  390/1843 V1843390 27C.  Batson William. Silvester Elizabeth

Convict permission to marry dated 17 Jul 1843

Hope this information provides some clarity
I am a DNA match with Elizabeth and William’s children descendants.
I descended from the first child born to Mary and Peter McCann in 1803.

Thank you once again for this information.
Seems this New family liked to change their names for various reasons, Albert Leonard New's cousin in Australia also changed his surname, after his marriage disintegrated!!!
It could be that he migrated somewhere else, South Africa maybe, but I cannot find any information so far, unless there is someone who can assist who lives in this country.

Thanks Carole, well looks like no response from South Africa notation, so maybe I've got this posting on the wrong country.

Thank  you for your assistance anyway.

Thanks Carole, we definitely know that Albert New was in Newbury in 1911 census with his relations, so that counts out the Sydney trip 1901.

Did you happen to notice what date the death was for him in the United States.  Nor do I have a subscription to World Wide Ancestry.

Hi again,
Yes, I notice that this marriage to Smee was in the earlier quarter of 1914, but thought maybe as Fanny had been in the mental facility, maybe a divorce occurred, or married illegally.
There is one tree on Ancestry, has some notations, the direct descendant of Roy New also has been searching for years, would have believed that she would have contacted me if she found his death.

I wonder have you seen those shipping records I have referred to.

Carole W, yes I meant to add the other child, but he died very young.   Only mentioned the son Roy Leslie Townsend New, as this poor child was not with his Father, and from later research have discovered that Roy became a Home Child in Canada.

Have never found Albert Leonard New, unless he maybe married Maud Louise Smee in 1914 at Reading.

This latest hint on Ancestry has made me think, maybe he went to South Africa, his other New family members all migrated to Australia.
