Must be something in the water I have just made contact with a lady (through RC) through my ALLINGHAM line, turns out it's a small world as she knows my sister from many moons ago.........

I do have some JEFFERY info but you will have to forgive me as it will take a while to get..........we shifted about 6 months ago and got a new computer so I put my info on a stick...........and when I plugged it into my computer there was nothing there  ..........but all is not lost..........I also put it on some disks...............and if that turns to custard I have a rellie who I got the info off in the first place.......

From my Family Tree (compiled a long time ago, not by me and has bits missing, and no doubt some incorrect info) (but a good place to start) Jane JEFFERY born to James and Hannah Blight, and Hannah's father being John. I know Janes parents lived in Illogan........possibly have access to some photos.........

Hi Gail.
 Jane Blight JEFFERY is my GGrandfathers elder sister. I have Steven as her father and Mary as her mother but  these are not confirmed by document. 
No rush with the info I can wait.
 
I am amazed Thanks Lyn

Thanks Janette
But unfortunately this is not my robert Jeffery however this may be a relative so I will hold onto this info for    the future. I am yet to investigate the other family members of James and Hannah Blight Jeffery. I do know that Hannah had a sister Joan as she is buried with her.

Hi Beg and Leanne
Thanks so much for your efforts but I already have all the information and more about the family line in Aussie. On the 1871 census Robert aged 20 is still in Cornwell but married in NZ in 1879 his age listed as 24 so something is out there .Robert and Elizabeth had the 3 children in NZ and 5 more in Ballarat she died in 1896 he in 1903. There is a 5 year gap between the last born in NZ and the next in Ballarat dont know when the moved.

My mother remembers her  Auntie Florie, Uncle Bill Shaw well also Auntie Annie, she never knew her name to be Hannah, the family story is she married an part aborigional and was alsot banished from the family. I have yet to sort that out. But there is another line here in Nz the came from one of my ggrandfathers siblings.


Also I have never been able to sort out Why Robert and Elizabeth married in Nz. She was born in Burra Burra in South Australia Elizabeth Anne George to John George and Elizabeth nee Allen in 1859 .As they were all miners I assume that is the common link. I have not done any work on this for years so I am a little rusty any help with shipping records would be most appreciated.
 
thanks again Lynm
