James Charles John Barham Wheatley married Ellen Jane Parkin (Eleanor Jane Parkin) in 21st February 1875 at St Olave, Southwark Surrey.
(Note; James was the black sheep of the family. Apparently he stole his brother, William’s wife/fiancé and married her. Their two daughters Eliza and Florence were born before James and Ellen were married. (On their birth records their surnames are mentioned as being Parkin, on every other record their surnames are known as Wheatley.)
Eliza Jane Wheatley (Elizabeth Jane Parkin) was born 1871 in Kensington
Florence Emily Parkin was born in 1873 in Poplar
James was known as a remittance man. He was paid by his family to migrate to Australia with his family. They left Plymouth on the 12th of January 1877 on the British Enterprise and they arrived in South Australia on the 4th April 1877. James was a bricklayer.
James and Ellen Jane had at least 14 children that can be found recorded throughout history.
The first being the girls that were born in England.
Eliza Jane born in 1871 Kensington alive at her mother’s death 1890
