I hope this helps a little Regards Elizabeth Karen Reynolds wrote: > Help....PLEASE > > > > I have been searching for my branch of the Jones's and Chaplain's forever or so it seems. > > I have the following infomation and certificates but i cant seem to find a direction to go in. > > My endless searches have drawn blanks.

> Thank you for looking anyway Elizabeth. Yes did arrive at different times. Reason ???? 1. maybe William came out first to prepared for Tabitha and the familys arrival. 2. or "Family Story" Walter was owed a considerable sum of money. He and his two sons walked to Southhampton to recalaim the debt and there met Stirling who sujested that the colony of Western Australia would be a better place to bring up a family. Walter and the boys promply boarded the ship and travelled with Stirling. Once in the colony he wrote home to tell his family to follow. There are several flaws in this story. Especially the timing of Walters arrival return letters and his Wife and families arrival. Walter sailed on the "Egyptian" in Feb of 1830 and Tabitha followed in 1834 aboard the "James Patterson". Walter in Mentioned in the 1832 c aged 47 and possibly a servant to Charles Boyd. No sons are mentioned in the Census. > > Googling Chaplain brought up the following - but I expect you will have > done that already > >> the 'Notes' give a few titbits of info - interesting that Walter and > ~Tabitha emigrated at different times. > > I hope this helps a little > Regards > Elizabeth > >> >> I>> >> Walter JONES b 17 September 1777 Llandefeilog Carmarthen Wales. >>>> Married 27 June 1807 Llandefeilog Carmarthen Wales >>>> Tabitha CHAPLAIN b 24.November 1782.
