Hello Ros
That was an incomplete reply from me, wasn't it?
The fact is that despite the amount of information we have about John Jenkins of Northill, Cornwall, then East Stonehouse, Plymouth, we do not know when or how he arrived in Victoria. His marriage to Sarah Ann Kemp is our starting point. She is probably the daughter of a convict lady from Scotland, but her stated parents on the marriage certificate aren't necessarily her true parents from Van Dieman's Land.
The fun of family.
Thanks again
Kevin
