This has muddied the waters even more  ;D
I am so confused!



And according to the above
...”James King died on 20 August 1891 at the age of 82 at his home in Station Street, Carlton. According to his death certificate he had been a gardener by occupation, and had died of old age. His father was also named James King, but the details of his mother were unknown. James had been born in Essex, England, and had lived in Tasmania for ten years before moving to Victoria where he resided for forty years. The informant, his brother Henry King of Collingwood....”

According to the above his son James KING also died 1891, a few weeks before his father.
Also mentions Louisa King, eldest daughter of James and Maria, married a William Everett in 1888.

This 1891 death looks like the father James KING and mentions daughter Mrs Everret [sic]
Death 9575/1891 Jas KING; ; Father: unknown; Mother: unknown; Carl

This death 1891 must be the son James KING

Yep, that seems to be the right ones there. Thanks for that, CupOfLife!

Just hoping for a shred of detail on their lives before coming to Aus!

I may (or may not haha) be able to assist you with this, or we might be able to work this out between us.

I was born Everett.  I have taken the Ancestry DNA test and my DNA is uploaded to most sites.

My most distant DNA confirmed Everett Ancestor is:
Francis William Everett (born 1865 Herefordshire - died 1926 Herefordshire)
Parents are Henry Everett and Elizabeth ???
(I've been attaching my DNA to various Henry and Elizabeth Everetts around the right age and have yet to confirm which Henry and Elizabeth).

I have a DNA match - TB - his most distant DNA confirmed Everett Ancestor is:
Maria Everett (born 1823 Liverpool - died 1879 Melborne)
Parents are William Everett and Maria ???

I have a DNA match - IanF - his most distant DNA confirmed Everett Ancestor is:
Elizabeth Everett (born abt 1807 Dover, Kent - died 1878 Norfolk)
Parents are unknown

We suspect that IanF (Elizabeth Everett 1807) and myself (Francis William Everett 1865) are both descended from:
William Everett (born 1722 Heytesbury, Wiltshire) and Merium Hill (born 1729 Wiltshire).
The problem is, we have no other DNA matches other than each other, and when you get that far back, it's unlikely that you only have 1 other DNA match.  Having said that, this is an area where everyone has got stuck on in their trees.... because it seems to many of the children moved to other parts of the country or emigrated to the US, Canada or Australia. 

If we can establish that Maria Everett (1823) is also descended from William Everett (born 1722 Heytesbury, Wiltshire) then we have confirmation both in documentation and by our DNA that the link is correct.
