I am researching any Lehane's having gathered much information already about seemingly unrelated Lehane families. In particular I am interested in the family of John Lehane Farmer Eastern Creek (buried Windsor) - parents Michael and Mary (transported from Ireland 1831 buried Windsor), brother Timothy (transported from Ireland 1825 buried Windsor), sisters Catherine (transported from Ireland 1831 buried Windsor) and Johanna. John's daughter Catherine married George Stubbs in 1876 at Pitt Town. Does anyone have any information to share? Di Stubbs

Wishing every one on the list a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. from Marie Researching: Wooderson/Cavander Families

Dear Rhonda and Terry, Amelia Wait Martin was the daughter of Mary Randall and John Martin. John was born in 1755 in Barbados later he was found in North America, then he was arrested in England for theft. John Martin was a Negro. My children and husband are descendants of this line. I have plenty of information down the line, but nothing above John. Here is some of the information I have on him, John Martin was tried at Justice Hall in the Old Bailey, London on the 3rd of July 1782 for stealing clothing with a value of 39 shillings. He was sentenced to transportation for seven years and left England on the Alexander aged about 29 at the time (May 1787). He had no occupation recorded. Described as "a black", and "A sober industrious man". At the time of landing at Port Jackson he had technically only one year to serve. On August 30 1788 he received 25 lashes for lighting a fire in his hut. In July 1789 he was a witness at the trial of John Callaghan. On November 29 1792 he received a grant of 50 acres at the Northern Boundary Farms, having married at Ann Joy (Neptune 1790) on 26 August , and was off stores by 24 October 1795. In March 1798 he was noted as the only one of the old settlers remaining at The Ponds, "a sober and industrious man, yet very poor". By mid 1800 he had sown 3 acres in wheat with six acres ready for planting maize. He owned one hog and was off store, but his wife was still publicly rationed. They had no children. In 1802 Martin still held his 50 acres, 26 of them clear, nearly nine in wheat and six ready for maize. He and his wife were in grain, one as garden, 20 for pasture and two fallow: he owned two sheep and 12 hogs, six bushel of maize: he was victualled (as a constable) but his wife was not, nor were the one convict and one free man he employed. No children were indicated. Through the years he remained a constable, and also pound keeper in 1820. Martins wife Ann died at Parramatta on 12 February 1806. He then married a Mary Randall on 20 July 1812: she was probably the daughter of John Randall (another black) born on 4 December 1793, with whom he may have been living shortly after his wife's death. Their children were John (1807), Sophia (1809), Francis (1810), Henry (1813) and Hannah (1815). In 1828, age given as 72, he was pensioned as a constable and still held 50 acres in the Northern Boundary district, with 40 cleared (15 of them cultivated). He owned 3 horse and 20 sheep and employed a convict laborer. In his will dated 17 December 1837 (signed with mark) he discriped himself as a settler, Pennant Hills Road, Field of Mars. He left his wife one shilling and directed that his farm be divided among his 5 children. Isaac Mobbs and Richard Partridge were executors and the estate was valued at und 25 pounds (excluding realty), probate not being granted until 19 October 1841. He died at Field of Mars on 21 December 1837, age given as 88, and was buried at St Johns Parramatta. He was a Protestant. The clothing he stole was 2 coats,waist coat and a pair of stuff breeches it was the property of Stephen Turnbull. He also stole 2 stuff coats, 2 cloth waist coats, 2 pairs of cloth breeches, a cotton waist coat, linen waist coat, 1 petticoat, cotton gown all the property of John Turnbull stolen from his home on 8/5/1782 His Occupation in Australia was noted as Farmer St John's Church in Parramatta has more information on him Surname: Martin + Genealogy <../fleet/fam00413.htm> First names: John Born: ca 1755 At: Arrival: 26 Jan 1788 On: 'Alexander' as convict. Died: 21 Dec 1837 At: Field of Mars, NSW Age: abt 88 Buried: St. Johns, Parramatta, NSW Comments: Spouse of (1) Ann Joy (Toy) (2) Mary Randall. This man was a West Indian. This is my first time replying to the list, lovely to read all the goings on each time I get an email, I am currently too busy to delve further into the 1800 names I have gathered so far, but perhaps in the new year I can do some more research into the Nowlands from Norfolk Island that settled in the Hawekesbury and Hunter Regions.

Hi All Is there anyone out there who has any information at all on Amelia Wait MARTIN . Amelia was the daughter of Mary RANDALL, who was in turn the daughter of John RANDALL, 1st fleeter. The mystery lies in who was Amelias father. The Wait in Amelias name is possibly a clue but one I have not been able to solve. Rhonda and Terry

Have found John Moore was the 1st one buried in the Methodist cemetery at Londonderry. His funeral was taken across by the puntsman Alfred Smith on the Hawkesbury River at Richmond. Am trying to find any photos of John and his family or his burial site which I believe is still in existence a few years back - the land when last seen by someone said that it was a horse paddock but his inscription was still there. Has the burial site been digitised and put into a book or does anyone live around the area who would be willing to take a photo of it please. Relatives also there are William Price and his wife, Ann nee Cooper (sister of Sarah Moore). Kind regards and Merry Christmas, Lesley

Hi Ian I have a family that married in Maitland in 1855. The husband was Protestant and the wife was Roman Catholic. They were married by the Roman Catholic Minister. Apparently the male children were supposed to be brought up as Protestant and the females the wife could bring up as she wished. In the end all the children ended up being Roman Catholic!!!

Ian, this is only a guess. My guess is that either or both of them was/were Roman Catholic, and that they felt at the time that it was "politic" to marry in the C of E church; but with the imminent birth of a child, they wanted the sacrament to be blessed in his/her/their own faith. My own C of E great, great, grandfather was married at Maitland in the early 1830s (sorry my genealogy program is malfunctioning so I cannot confirm the date) to his Roman Catholic wife, in a Roman Catholic ceremony at Maitland, performed by the Reverend Father John Joseph THERRY. Some of their children were baptised in the Roman Catholic church there, others in the Church of England church there. All very confusing! Good luck with your "hunt".
