Hi Rebecca & Jenn 

I did do quite a lot of research into the Tiveys & Witts - to me they are known as "group 3" and they are on my website here ~ http://www.tiveyfamilytree.com/Grp03JAT.htm I do also have a little more on the Witts, you can contact me thru the website with your e-mail address and I will send you the file ~ no probs    There is also a lot of info on these families in Australia on the Monaro Pioneers site ~ see http://www.monaropioneers.com/

Cheers
Jan

Wow this is a very old tread, so Im not sure if its still active or not.
I hope you all found the information you needed about Sarah.

Sarah is my 3x great aunt and it can be hard to find information on her at times as her last name is spelt incorrectly over multiple records... Her correct surname is Lavell.
Her father is William Lavell, born in Ireland in 1806.
Her mother is Ellen Kenny, also born in Ireland roughly around 1822.
Sarah is the youngest of 6 children. She has 3 older brothers and 2 older sisters.
William, Mary/May, John, James and Ellen (born in that order)

Her father William enlisted in the 51st regiment in England in 1825 and spent several years traveling round in service. He married Ellen Kenny in Chatham Kent, England in 1837.
How and where they meet in unknown and William's last name is spelt Lavall on their marriage certificate.
Sarah's older brother and sister, William and Mary/May, were born during their time in England. We're not exactly sure where John was born as no record can be found, though some of his marriage records and his death certificate lists his birth place as Maria Island, which is now a National Park but back in the mid 1800's it was used as a penal colony for the 51st Regiment. It is suspected that her father was there for a period of time on duty.
Her bother James was born in Hobart Tasmania. Her older sister Ellen was born in Western Port,as was Ellen.

I have more information bout them if anyone wonts to contact me 🤷🏼‍♀️
My linage is through Sarah's eldest bother William, he is my 3x great grandfather.
