Kent / Kent Marriage
« on: Wednesday 19 September 12 10:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Could someone please direct me or help me with the following.  Through ancestry I have found the Marriage of a direct descendant.  However, it usually has the original parish register records when you find this listing.  This particular one doesn't.  I have the following marriage:-

Mary Ann Potter  to  John William Lane

Date  24th December, 1829

Place - West Wickham, Kent England.

Can someone tell me how I can find out what Church in West Wickham this would have been.

They were not Catholic.  I was very disappointed not to be able to see the parish Register in Ancestry.

Any help would be gratefully received.  I believe John William Lane was born  Kent and his wife baptised,  3rd October 1797 St Mary Magdalen Bermondsy.  Amazingly, I was able to obtain the original parish record for Mary Ann's baptism but not her marriage parish record to John Lane.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Regards   Adcord

Hi Victor,

Thank you for your reply.  I am originally from Sydney and that is why I was taken back when I saw Botany Bay.  Other areas mentioned in this particular parish record were Sydenham - which is in Sydney and a suburb.  Many towns in Australia were named after British towns.

What I am trying to establish is am I seeing Botany Bay - is it an old area in Kent .

Regards

Kent / LANE family Lewisham Kent
« on: Monday 13 August 12 07:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks - hoping someone can shed some light on "A find"I have had.

Found our 4th great grandparent - John William Lane - baptised on the 26th December, 1794 -
St Mary, Lewisham Kent - father John Lane and mother Mary.

I was trying to read the original parish register which I found on Ancestry.  However, I am a little confused as to what I am looking at.  At the end of the line where the above information is written it has Botany Bay (I think that is what it says).  Could someone please advise me what or  where Botany Bay is.
Tried to search the web for Botany Bay but it comes up with a college in Kent and talks about slavery?

I am in Australia

Kind regards  Adcor

Hi Neal,

Thank you for your reply - talk about great minds thinking alike... I had a verification done on this one about 18months ago through Joy Murrin.  It is Norah - actually this particular lady was Norah O"Shea.  From Ireland as was her husband.

Thank you for looking though.   I went back through some more info today.. Found the death of a John Lane in Queensland in 1917 - timeline fits but no parents listed.  just his age - There is a a 5yr difference with mine in age.  Also this death not in the Brisbane MA

I also found that John William Lane and Edith Piper came up here (Brisbane) Sometime in the late 1880's. Edith gave birth to a son - Ernest Edward Lane.  He was born very late 1887 - birth reg'd in Brisbane in 1888.  They must have at lest 4 kids in tow when they arrived here.  They went back to NSW and had some more children.  Have no idea what they were doing here - it was a real surprise.  John and Edith's last child was born 1898 - Arthur James Lane - Looks like John desserted the lot of them around 1901 -

Perhaps he did return to Brisbane - but yet to find him - he couldn't have vanished.  Dont know what else to do.

Hi everyone,  I have been doing more research on the death of John William Lane.. I have checked QLD, NSW, Vic, and SA for possible deaths.  I have now received  death Certificates for both his parents -
Sarah and Thomas Lane who died in QLD.  From those, it has been confirmed that John William Lane was alive in 1915 but deceased in 1927.  This again narrows the field between and including, I guess, those years.  If indeed hehad desserted his wife, could he have died as a John Doe or pauper.

Could anyone please help or suggest where else I can start looking for him,  Two of his siblings - James Thomas Lane -(Woollahra) and Florence Arabella Lane (Vaucluse) were living in Sydney at the time of their own deaths in 1946-1947.  Florence was a spinster.

No information is forthcoming from John's remaining grandchildren - they know nothing of him.

Kind regards  Adcord

Suffolk / Re: Woodbridge

Thank you for your reply and information.

In answer to your query - I am not sure if it was the Dutch East India Company.  It was family talk that my g.g. grandfather's dad worked for them or similar company.  John Brown here in Australia was an early pioneer - to date nobody has been able to find his arrival or birth.  All Certificates having him come from Suffolk with a father's name of Thomas. He supposedly arrived around 1821 as a cabin boy.  I found this odd - who would have looked after him here.  Family chat can be annoying as you have to sort out fact from fiction.  He died in Australia in the late 1800s' a wealthy man but having 3 wives and 9 children - the money soon went.   He used, as a middle name for one of his children, Woodbridge".  This is why we all thought he may have come from there.

Hi Pam,

I really appreciate you taking the time to decipher the handwriting.  I couldn't understand the figures let alone the street name.

The little 4yr old girl named Sarah is my husbands g.g. grandmother.  She died in Brisbane Queensland Australia.  She came out here in 1854 as a house servant.  Thank you also for giving me the street name.  I will google the address and see if it is still standing.

Regards
