I have found a record on Ancestry.com of the emigration of Charles and Martha to Australia in 1852. Martha died in 1891 at Naracoorte South Australia. Ill keep looking to see if I can find anything else

Hi Margaret,

Thank you so much for your help, I have been to Naracoorte and found the burial site for Martha, and have her death certificate, note she was a widow at that time, also the burial site for her son William and his wife Margaret nee Mc Millan, all buried in the Naracoorte cemetery, headstone for Margaret only. Martha and William are registered as buried in the same section, however no headstones for them. I have the shipping record for the family's imigration. The child Charles died enroute.

Hi GeneJ,

Thank you so much for your help, I am overwhelmed by the response so far. You have given me so much food for thought, and idea's as to where to research next. I also like to research known to unknown, however having accidently found a fellow researcher with what looks like a link to the same line of Maynards, i did get off on a tangent for a short while. I have attached a photo of the marriage registration of George Maynard and Jane Lee.
I have been using Family History Library Catalog, however i am by no means expert at finding my way around the records. My knowlege of Martha is limited to a baptismal record on IGI, that appears to match, i have applied for the registration to comfirm, and am awaiting the arrival by post. I have the a cerified copy of entry of birth for Charles and Martha's son Thomas ( My 2x great grandfather) which states born at Dibden Bottom, parish of Sevenoaks 11th April, 1839. I have Family History Library records of the other children's births or baptisms. I have no record of the death of Mary ann, and neither Mary ann or Esther came To Australia in 1852, Esther died in June1847. The youngest child Charles died enroute, and i have good info on all of the other children once they arrived in Australia. But on that note, i have been unable to find the death of Charles senior, I am fairly confident that he took up his post in Naracoorte, however do not have proof of this. I have positive proof of the death and burial of Martha, William, and his wife Margaret Maynard nee Mc Millan, all died in Naracoorte and are buried in the Naracoorte cemetery. I am so grateful for your assistance and look forward to hearing if there are any other hints that you can share.

Hi Wilson-
I found Charles in 1841 and 1851 census records, which you have probably seen already, I'm just attaching them for those who would like to see them. :)

I read as above what you mentioned "Located compilations by a Kathryn Maynard, seems of current era; has researched some Maynards born in Leigh about the same era as your folks" - this is me who did this to research my Maynard families... in case you are wondering... Its still on going research...

Hi Kathryn,

My Maynard research continues to go on as well. Have had a couple of new leads lately, and am in the process of following these up. Good luck with your ongoing research, isn't family history research addictive? I find i don't have anywhere near enough spare time to devote to it at present.

 

Cheers Wilson

Hi there,   

 

I have just discovered that my husband's family are related to an Elizabeth Maynard who married Edward Jones in Naracoorte in 1860.   I note in one of your postings that you have information about Charles and Martha's  daughters in Australia.   I do know that Edward and Elizabeth moved to Ross on the west coast of NZ not long after that but I have no other information regarding them.     If you have any suggestions or an idea of a timeframe I would be very grateful for any info. you may have.

 

Regards,

 

Di Jones

Hi Di,

Very excited to see your note, I don't have a lot on what happened to Elizabeth and Edward after their marriage. I would very much like to compare info, and have sent you a PM.
