Hello, I have a Jessie Moon of Mountfield (father may be William) born about 1800 and Ann Ralph [or Rath) of Brightling, plus their children David (1826) William Mary Harriet & Dinnah all arriving in Aust 1839 aboard Prince Regent.  I would be grateful if someone could check for a marriage date and confirm Ann's name please.

Well, despite my lack of expertise in all things, including forums... I have just managed to download a copy of the marriage.  Absolutely thrilled, thank you so much.  And yes, fresh eyes, see that Sarah was on the ships list, so I stand corrected there.  Really appreciate your help jonw65

PS It is son, William, whom I am then following.   He accidentally shot himself duck hunting in 1871 in Aust.

Hi
Sorry to hear that. Haven't found a baptism for William yet. Dinah's baptism must have been almost the last thing they did before going to Australia!

Many thanks Wivenhoe.  I hadn't actually found the article re Jesse's death, so pleased to have it esp as I have been pondering on all the children recorded as being born to a Jesse and Ann in Aust, on top of the UK born.   William's events have plenty of articles, so it was easy to find.  Appreciate your interest.
