Hi Anyone,
Just need to find out about John Florance who married 14th Jan 1791 Martha Pearce.
I am trying to piece together there children and whom they married etc. As we had some John Florance (sussex)come to Australia but have no record of him coming as he married 1883 Mary L Newham.
Not should if he was a convict or now he ended up here? Did his parents and sibling's come too?

Look forward in hearing from someone soon.

Regards

Hi

It might be a better idea if we try and locate this John Florance then work back from him.

What information does his marriage to Mary Newham give.  Approximately when was he born

this looks a likely for their 1st born child - if it is - it gives us the town of Chichester to work with .....

ADDED
HE MARRIED 4TH JAN 1791        https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N6ZX-JQN
HE MAY HAVE DIED NOV 1791    https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J8HH-82V
AND HIS SON WAS BORN JUNE 1792 ?? it looks to me like the 3 records are connected
SO - was Mary a widow when she gave birth ??
Rumboldswhyke to Chichester is less than a mile ...

The mother is Martha on OP 

There are a few possible children born Sidlesham, Sussex to a John & Martha on familysearch.

But this couple may not be your line

Which state did your John FLORANCE live in?  Was it NSW?

I can see a marriage in NSW for John FLORANCE and Lucy NEWHAM in Carcoar in 1883
https://familyhistory.bdm.nsw.gov.au/lifelink/familyhistory/

And I can see a death for a John FLORANCE in 1891 in Corowa with father William and mother unknown.

From NSW state records there is a deceased estate file for John FLORANCE  who died 6/11/1891.  I could photograph this for you next time I am there, if he is your man.  http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/

Or perhaps I am on the wrong track?

cheers,

Hi Tracey,
   Do you have a transcription of the 1883 marriage cert?  (transcriptions are cheaper and they e-mail them to you).  If you do and there are blanks on the cert, then there is an excellent thread on how to find out what the blanks are on historical NSW marriage certs ... essentially info was not always transmitted from church to registrar and advised to contact church archives.

  Hang on and I will find the thread ...

cheers,
   Ros

adding : Here is the thread - I followed the advice and managed to get all the blanks filled for one of mine
