Hi The family I'm researching is JONES and my direct ancestor is Thomas JONES. He and his father Samuel came to Australia in 1856 on "Violet" and they came from Somerset, England. He has a wife Jane NEWLAND, and they were married 31 May 1864, North Adelaide, South Australia. I'm interested in both sides of this family. The basic family tree of Jane NEWLAND's ancestors starting from her grandparents is as follows: John NEWLAND m. about 1811, Essex, England Mary ? bc 1786 bc 1790 of Waltham Abbey, Essex, England Waltham Abbey, Essex, England d. before 1851, England George NEWLAND m. Charlotte ? bc 1814 bc 1817 christened 31 July 1814 Waltham Abbey, Essex England Holy Cross, Waltham Abbey, Essex, England Children Mary NEWLAND bc 1840, West Hampshire, Essex, England George NEWLAND bc 1841, West Hampshire, Essex, England John NEWLAND bc 1844, West Hampshire, Essex, England Jane NEWLAND bc 1849, West Hampshire, Essex, England Charlotte NEWLAND bc 1851, West Hampshire, Essex, England I hope that someone can help me with some information or point me in the right direction. Also if you are related to JONES's or NEWLAND's maybe I can help you with information too. Thank you Nicole Page Stansbury, South Australia
