Hi Lyn
I have found age 19 the family on the Vic. shipping lists which also has a William KING age 19 (could be his younger brother which also fits my family) BUT has another Sarah King age 27. Sister to them maybe? If she is then this is not my Alfred , as I have Sarah m.Richard Larcombe 3/7/1854. With 2 children Edwin 3 & Walter 5, they migrated to Australia 2 April, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England arr. 27 Jul 1857, Sydney NSW. Info given on the immigration listing of the ship "Tartar". parents James & Patience. Brother Albert in Australia. Was hospitalised on ship
This is the entry for Alfred in the Index to Assisted British Immigration 1839-1871
This is an index to VPRS 14 Register of Assisted British Immigrants 1839-1871
KING ALFRED 25 DEC 1852 PERSIAN 7 132
KING CHARLES 2 DEC 1852 PERSIAN 7 132
KING EMILY 6 DEC 1852 PERSIAN 7 132
KING JAMES 8 DEC 1852 PERSIAN 7 132
KING SARAH 27 DEC 1852 PERSIAN 7 132 KING SARAH 24 DEC 1852 PERSIAN 7 132
KING WILLIAM 19 DEC 1852 PERSIAN 7 132
The Confusion is the 2 Sarahs & William
1..IF one of the Sarah's is his sister then this Alfred & family is not my Alfred as Sarah king (larcombe) was already in Australia
2. William brother ? possible right age
3. only other scenario would be if the Sarah was wife of William, however at the moment i havent found a m. entry for them
4. BUT again on Sarah Larcombes immig. she doesnt mention another brother being in the colony.
5. If William migrated to Australia in 1852 then he cannot be the father of Albert W King b. in 1862 (which is what I am tackling at the moment, thinking illegitement son of one of the girls & subsequently raised by Patience. (grmother)
so
not at all if this Alfred entry is the right alfred
In turn, John m. Sarah Waterman in 1843. IGI shows a John natcott Criddle marrying Sarah in that year, subsequently they're show as having two children, Rebecca b.1843, and Sarah, b.1847. But our family line shows James b. 1845 and Charles b. Abt 1846.
Sarah Waterman then married Alfred King in 1852, and took the two boys to Australia, landing Melbourne in Dec. 1852
This family took all 3 children you are missing Emily
Will try to send via pers. email of what i have( for some reason I cannot attach an image the function isnt working).
between the 2 of us I'm sure we can fig. this out. regards Vicki
