« on: Wednesday 07 October 20 05:45 BST (UK) »Hi!Hi Elly - are you interested in the history prior to William and Martha... or of their family lineage from their 7 children ?
I'm hoping I'm doing this right, as I'm totally new here.
I don't have any information to add, but I am also looking up the history William Gorton and Martha Telling and would love to collab or cross examine information.
Thanks
Elly

Hi... this is my first post on this site.
William and Martha GORTON are my 3rd Grt Grandparents.
I am in Australia and descend from their son 'Joseph', one of only 2 of their 4 sons that survived to what evolved into the ENORMOUS Gorton Dynasty in Australia.
Joseph and his siblings were all orphaned when William and Martha died the same year - 1821.
IS IT KNOW IF THERE A SICKNESS AT THAT TIME ?
As I understand it the 'caretaker' of the estate of Lord Barrington, where the Gortons were tenants and lived & farmed, took the boys under his wing, and later had them indentured with him to the Australian Ag Co them all being good stockmen. Thats how they came to Australia.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION OF THE 3 SISTERS, that were left behind in UK, being ;
* Elizabeth b.1810
* Sophia b.1816 (perhaps married William ALDER ?)
* Charlotte b.1818
These girls names show up in the Australian Gorton line, which would mean the girls were not forgotten by the boys when they came to Australia... but I have no idea if there was any further contact between the male and female siblings.
with thanks
