LANE family Lewisham Kent
« on: Monday 13 August 12 07:36 BST (UK) »
Hi folks - hoping someone can shed some light on "A find"I have had.

Found our 4th great grandparent - John William Lane - baptised on the 26th December, 1794 -
St Mary, Lewisham Kent - father John Lane and mother Mary.

I was trying to read the original parish register which I found on Ancestry.  However, I am a little confused as to what I am looking at.  At the end of the line where the above information is written it has Botany Bay (I think that is what it says).  Could someone please advise me what or  where Botany Bay is.
Tried to search the web for Botany Bay but it comes up with a college in Kent and talks about slavery?

I am in Australia

Kind regards  Adcor

Hi,
Botany Bay is in Sydney, NSW. Capt COOK first landed there in 1770.

Hi Victor,

Thank you for your reply.  I am originally from Sydney and that is why I was taken back when I saw Botany Bay.  Other areas mentioned in this particular parish record were Sydenham - which is in Sydney and a suburb.  Many towns in Australia were named after British towns.

What I am trying to establish is am I seeing Botany Bay - is it an old area in Kent .

Regards

Adcor

If you Google Botany Bay Lewisham you will find that, in 1841 Botany Bay was a dwelling together with Perrins Rents on Lewisham Bridge.

Hi

Thank you Tony, I will give that ago.  I am assuming that it was also that in late 1790's
