Hi List! Thought I would throw some lines in the waters and see what I catch! James Cribb - b 13/8/1797 Bristol Glos, England a Syd per Atlas 22/7/1816 (Had been convicted of ? at Lancaster, Lancashire 1815 and received life) He married Jane Hewitt b 12/3/07 Richmond on 26/12/1820. James died 13/7/1841 and Jane died 15/5/1880 Richmond. Children of James and Jane: Mary Ann - 24/2/1822 Richmond - m Thomas Skuthorpe 31/12/1839 - died 20/2/1854 buried St Peters, Richmond. - many issue (our line) Hannah d/b/22/5/1824 Richmond - d/d 20/5/1867 Jane b 22/7/1826 Richmond m 23/9/1845 Thomas Eather Williams d 18/12/1873 or 1875 John b 23/9/1828 /Richmond d 12/11/1865 Sarah b 22/2/1831 Colo m 5/3/1850 Charles Williams James b 24/4/1833 Colo d 18/2/1861 Elizabeth b 30/9/1835 Colo m 25/4/1853 Joseph Gosper Amos Pratt b 3/6/1838 North Richmond m 7/10/1859 Mary Everingham d 1/3/1868 Emma b 14/11/1841 Richmond Parents of James Cribb - unknown - waiting on reply from Lancaster Castle where he was sentenced to see if they have other info. Parents of Jane Hewitt: Alexander Hewitt - b ? Cheshire England a PJ per Glatton 11/3/1803 (had been sentenced in Chester in 1801 for 7 yrs for ?) m in England to Jane ? date unknown. Jane Hewitt (the mother of Jane) was born 11/6/1776 in Chester and she came out on the William Pitt and arrived in PJ14/4/1806. She had been given 14 yrs for ? unknown in 1803. Methinks it may have been to get out to Alexander? Jane may also have had further relationships with John Cribb p Perseus b1773 d11/9/1833 with out issue (as far as I am aware); and someone unknown - but had a further 3 children Alexander Hewitt b 28/3/1844, Thomas Stephen b 10/7/46 and William Charles b 1848 m 1867 Esther Herps d 1932 (all given the name of Cribb inspite of James dying in 1841) In relation to Alexander & Jane Hewitt, any pointers on how I find out details of his parents and hers? Would permissions to marry list her maiden name, parents names etc? Unfortunately, I have virtually nil access to the NSW State Archives Kit due to Toowoomba Library not possessing it - the nearest is State Library of Qld in Bris, and at this stage, I am not in a position to amble down in the next month or so at least!!! Thanks in Anticipation! Liz
