Searching for connection to Jonathan Lilley who married Sarah Louman and they migrated to Melbourne Victoria on the "England" in 1841
-
When and where did they marry?Had they gone to Australia before 1841 census?
-
Not sure, they migrated in 1841 so they could have missed the census, its usually done in April???
-
There is a record from PRO Victoria, of Jonathan Lilley arriving on "England" - July 1841. ( I'm never sure if the month is when they sailed or when they arrived! I think it is date of sailing - but not certain.)
Jonathan and Sarah were both 39 at the time and they were travelling with their family
Mary Anne 14
Zillah 11
George 9
Jamison 7
Arroe 2
So this gives some idea of dates to look for marriage and births!

Not having a lot of luck with marriage - none showing in Yorkshire from what I can see!
- one in Polstead, Suffolk on4 Apr 1820 to Sarah WARD this from Family Search - nothing on FindMyPast that I can find.

there is one baptism I can find for a Jonathan:
Family Search
30 Aug 1807 Gorton Lancs to Aaron and Mary
There is another child to this marriage Mary 1810.
Names fit maybe :-\ certainly Jonathan uses the same names for his children.
Family Search extracted entry
There is another Jonathan in Polstead, Suffolk - born 30 Oct 1800 batpised 23 Aug 1801. parents Edward and Lucy.

That looks like mine coming here 1841 - thanks for that details :)
-
Should be more information from shipping record at PROV,i.e.county and trade.
-
Very odd - I can't find any of the baptisms for the children - in Yorkshire or anywhere!
Only place I can find their names at all is on that list arriving on England.
Warncoort - do you need to go to PROV for that?? Is there a way of seeing those details online?
Wiggy :)

Thanks for that ::)
I found my Hannah Lilley, she arrived on the same ship only she was 18 so they have listed her with the single females as was custom and her brother Willian was also there under Lilly.
thanks again for all your help
