Hello Jamjar,

All I have on Sarah West CORNWELL (b 9.3.1849 Bottisham Fen) is her marriage to James AUSTEN at Parramatta in 1869, her death on 12.10.1929, & subsequent burial at Rookwood. To explain, I only trace the male CORNWELL family line - it just helps me keep things more manageable.

And yes, I am a second cousin to Holmes John CORNWELL and was aware of his marriage to Margaret KELLY but I currently only have one child listed from their marriage. So it seems I have a lot more work to do there. Many thanks for the steer.

Does your own ancestry somehow connect to this CORNWELL jigsaw ?

Jamjar,

I am staggered by your very kind co-operation and particularly as you have no personal interest. Many, many thanks. You have totally rejuvenated my research into my Australian ancestors and I raise my glass in your general direction.

Nothing like a little prod to get one interested again, Peter.  ;D

My trees are completed, so I’m always looking for others to dabble in.

Jamjar,

Feel free to dabble in the CORNWELL tree as much you like. I remain very much obliged to you.

Kind Regards,

Peter C

Thank you Jennaya. That is much appreciated.

Private messages received in response to my query prompts me to add the following details:

John CORNWELL (b 1827 Cambs.) arrived in NSW in 1857 with his second wife Rebecca (BENSTEAD 1838-1857) and two children from his first marriage; Sarah West CORNWELL (b 1849) & Holmes CORNWELL (b 1851). Another child, Isaac, was born en-route but died shortly after arrival. After the death of Rebecca, he married Mary Ann SLATER and had at least four more children; John West CORNWELL (1859-1859), Rebecca CORNWELL (1866-1950), Sydney CORNWELL (1864-1950), & Mary West CORNWELL (b 1866).
Holmes Cornwell means he is definitely in (or should be in ) my Ayres/ Cornwell tree. I will have a look over the weekend.

Redroger,

He is most certainly part of your tree being the second son of John Day CORNWELL (1787-1864) & Sarah WEST (1793-1891) of White Fen, Bottisham. He is mentioned in John Day's will dated 18 May 1858 where, described as 'now in Australia', he inherited £30.

Thankyou Peter, Yes I do have him, and he's not that far distant in terms of relationship.

My grandfather's name was John William Cornwell born in 1888 in Newmarket Cambridgeshire. His parents were John Cornwell and Sarah Ann Howe.
His siblings were Florence Grace, Samuel Covill, Ethel Maud, Lillian Hannah, Hephzibah Sarah and Gerald Benjamin.
My grandfather came out to Australia in 1913 with his first wife Fanny Wayland.
Just wondering whether I am related to any of the other Cornwell's on this page, and if so would like to learn more about the Cornwells in England.
