Australia / Re: Which David MUTTON is which
« on: Monday 24 April 17 00:08 BST (UK)  »
The Bentley family I am descendant from were James Bentley and Elizabeth Chatterton London to SA on the ship Cheapside 1849!
They and their children were residents/miners in Kooringa/Burra and Kadina/Moonta
James (miner) and Fanny Bentley are buried In Moonta.
William Bentley was local photographer who worked between Kooringa and Moonta
Rosetta married into Nankervis family (miner from Cornwall). Rosetta is buried with her parents in Kadina!
John and Edward were mounted police officers Port Elliot to Pirt Pirie!
Henry was publican/owner of the Bentley hotel in Clare (which still exists)
James was storekeeper in Kooringa
The Bentley's had land from 1866 in Robert and Caroline Street Moonta! I have the land records.
The Muttons also lived in Robert and Caroline Streets Moonta!

May or may not be relevant but
One of the first posts here

"SA Police Gazette 21st August 1878, p142.
In short..A warrant was issued for the arrest of David Mutton a cornish miner aged 45 years for deserting his wife at Yelta on 25th June last.

In a September 4th 1878 Gazette he had been arrested by Sergeant Bentley.

Gerry"

Mentions Bentley (whom I am descendant from).
The Bentley's were located in Kooringa /Burra and Kadina/Moonta! They lived on Robert Street in Moonta backing on to Caroline Street!
Interestingly Mary Mutton (nee Shea/Sheahy) and David Mutton had a daughter named Mary Jane (Polly) who married a Charles Webb. This Mary Webb nee Mutton died in Robert Street Moonta in 1938!
I am feeling quite certain that Mary Mutton nee Sheahy (the wife of David Mutton) is also a descendant of mine. Maryb1833 came out on the Nashwauk in 1855 as an Irish servant girl with a relative named Johanna/Judith Shea. They were both from Kilkenny Ireland! Johanna married John Bentley mounted police trooper of SA ( the same Bentley mentioned in the above earlier post)!
Interestingly the surname "May" also appears in Irish registers!
