Hi All.
I wondered if anyone could tell me if they can find the Maris Family who
lived in England (Cambs) arriving in Australia in the early 1830-40's.
T.I.A.

Hi Sandy,
Now, as you would probably know by the number of postings you have made on the R. Chat boards, helpers need a bit of detailed information to work withif they are to make a successful search.
Perhaps you can kindly give a bit more ;D

He was Protestant and could read and write reasonably.
Rebecca MARIS married female immigrant, was a native of West (Fratson)? Cambridgeshire, parents Benjamin HOWARD, dead and ?(Looks like Mart on one line - end of line then Mash on next line - don't know - best I can come up with is maybe two attempts at writing Martha :-\ first line looks like ran out of room but second line looks like Mash ) anyway she was also dead. She was a domestic servant. She was aged 33 years in March 1840. Person certifying baptism J H Watson Vicar. Person certifying Character, same as husband. Health, strength and probably usefulness - very Good. Religion Protestant. She could read

Hi Sue/Kriss.
Sorry not to have been more helpful. :(
I mostly answer requests, rather than ask.
Kriss has certainly got the correct family.
I only have a genealogy report for the family, (although it is huge).
I do know that John Maris (father) married Catherine Cockerton.
Rebecca was from West Wratting, there was no mention of her father so thank you Kris for that.
I have quite a few more children being born in Ashfied and Tambaroora, NSW.
When I have pieced together the detailed information I require I will post more.
Thank you both for replying, greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have some information on Richard John Maris whom I think was the first child born in Australia to this family. His first wife died in Cobar and he married Mary Annie Allwood (nee Moore) in Bourke about 1884. It was a bigamous marriage on her part as her husband John Joseph Allwood was still alive.

Hi Andcarred.
I wondered if you would like to P.M. me about the family you have listed.
I would be interested in them as I do have Richard as a son.

Hi Seahall,
Richard Maris was the son of John and Rebecca Maris and was born at Five Dock Farm in New South Wales. He was baptised 15 August 1841 at St Johns Church at Ashfield. Richard parents were immigrants from Linton, Cambridge, England, his mother was pregnant with him on the voyage out to New South Wales in 1841 on the ship "Susan". Richard was born 29 Jun 1841 at Five Dock Farm, three months after they arrived.
I have sent a pm.

Hi Andcarred. :)
Thank you for listing the family for me with more details.
The known link I am working from is through John and Catherine's
(Cockerton) son Richard of 1822, brother to John of 1810 who sailed to Australia.
Thanks also for P.M. now replied also.

Just a final up-date then I will mark as COMPLETED.
I have managed to find a Maris desendant in Australia.
Although it is my best friend's Michelle's family lineage, I have
been colating all the information and have all her personal photographs,
gedcoms and certficates etc.
The reason being that I am trying to enter into FTM 2006 for her.
Therefore thanks to all who assisted with request.
