A son James CHANNON born about 1847 somewhere in England ? married Sarah J NEWBERY in 1875 in NSW, and they lived in a house they called 'Pakenham'. James died in 1920 and Sarah in 1930, both in Hornsby, NSW, Aust.
Sarah's parents were Frederick William NEWBERY b. 1 May 1814 Hampton Court and Sarah BROWN b. 1815 Berkshire, England ? to parents Robert & Anne ? d. 1847 NSW.
Frederick's parents were Thomas Newington NEWBERY b. abt 1779 Hampton Court and Ann Ledger ? Rice ? BENFIELD b. ? d. ?
They married on 13 Oct 1805 St Bride's London. That marriage can't be found so possibly the date and or place are incorrect ?
I'd appreciate some help with any of the items marked '?'.
Thanks.
