Hi JM, Thanks for the information, and hello to Nukoong.  I have not looked at this for awhile, will need to get my head around it again. From memory I guessed that there were 2 William Boyds.
I still have not confirmed the details of Charles Lewis, but knew he must have been the brother of Elizabeth Jenks/Lewis for Mathew Boyd to be his nephew. I came up against so many brick walls as you would understand when researching surnames of Smith, and Lewis.

Thanking you, yes I have them married in 1853 the same year my Joseph Lewis and Jane Noble were married.
I had details there was a child named Robert who was born before they were married?
Also there was a coroners inquest into Sarah's death, she died from drinking Prussic Acid it is not known if it was deliberate or not.
Does the dc of Sarah give any details about Joseph Lewis? He died before Sarah so that's probably why Henry was the informant.

Cheers Sas

Hi Jan thanking you so much for the reply
Yes I was having a break from researching, but with covid19 and stuck in the house for a time I rekindled my interest.
Joseph Lewis is my mystery man?
Thanking you

Hello to Everyone.  I have just come across this post re Sarah Hockey and was wondering if anyone knew who the Joseph Lewis was that married Sarah Hockey?
I have a death cert for a Joseph Lewis that died in 1922  Redfern  NSW born abt 1851 I wonder if he is their son? his parents were listed as being Joseph Lewis and Sarah Unknown.
 I'm wondering if this is the same person?  The only problem is I cannot find a birth for him at all.

There is a Joseph Lewis also that married Jane Noble (my 3 x times g grandparents) in 1853 the same year  the another Joseph Lewis married Sarah Hockey, they all lived in the Bathurst area in NSW.

This Joseph Lewis is not the son of Jane Lewis (Noble) as she arrived in NSW in 1852 and he is not listed on any of her certs.  I have a copy of a marriage cert between the Joseph Lewis (born 1851) and Elizabeth Hart this has Jane Lewis and Joseph Lewis as the parents maybe he was raised by them?
I hope this makes sense

Yes I would probably agree about the dates.

I think that Joseph Snr. 1851 when he was about 18 or19 had a child with Sarah Unknown. She could have been a half caste or full blood Aboriginal?
Then this child Joseph Jnr. was raised by Joseph Snr. and Jane noble, that could explain why that line had dark skin?
I wasn't sure about this until I received the m.c. from the Diocese, stating the Jane Noble was the mother, which clearly she was not, the birth mother anyway.
It is purely speculation but does make sense. especially for a small place like the Valley

Hi, I have the details of the 1875 m.c. from the Diocese, I did previously post it, maybe something went astray so here are the details.

It states that he was married in St Stephens at the Valley, that he was a settler at Fitzgerald's Valley,  24 y/o, parents Joseph Lewis Snr. farmer and Jane Noble.
So that means by 1875, he was considered to be the son of Joseph Snr and Jane Noble.
At what date he was raised by Joseph and Jane I don't know?

That's good news.
I have been in contact with a descendant of the Joseph Lewis and Elizabeth Hart line.
This lady has not long since had a dna done, so she is still researching.
But she is confident that Joseph Jnr is hers and also Joseph Snr. but can't confirm anything else yet.
When I last spoke to her she had told me that side of the family all had fairly dark skins? not sure if there are any clues there?
