CORNWELL family history
« on: Wednesday 03 October 18 08:27 BST (UK) »
Does anybody have a family connection to John CORNWELL (born 1827 Cambridgeshire UK) who emigrated to Australia with his family aboard the Washington Irving in 1857 and settled in the north Sydney area ? He was a first cousin of mine and I'm trying to establish exactly where/when he died (amongst other things). If you can help then please get in touch by private message if you prefer. Many thanks.

Do you know if he was related to the Cornwell family of brewers who also lived in the north Sydney area?

Hello Jennaya,

Not to my knowledge, but I may not have every branch of the family identified as yet. Thanks for your interest.

When I get back from holidays in a few weeks, I will see what information I have and we can see if there are any matches.

Thank you Jennaya. That is much appreciated.

Private messages received in response to my query prompts me to add the following details:

John CORNWELL (b 1827 Cambs.) arrived in NSW in 1857 with his second wife Rebecca (BENSTEAD 1838-1857) and two children from his first marriage; Sarah West CORNWELL (b 1849) & Holmes CORNWELL (b 1851). Another child, Isaac, was born en-route but died shortly after arrival. After the death of Rebecca, he married Mary Ann SLATER and had at least four more children; John West CORNWELL (1859-1859), Rebecca CORNWELL (1866-1950), Sydney CORNWELL (1864-1950), & Mary West CORNWELL (b 1866).
