Hi Cathy
These are the baptisms from a Combe Transcription. All children of Charles and Harriet
13JAN1828 ANNE JANEWAY
23MAY1830 GEORGE JANEWAY
25DEC1832 ELLEN JANNAWAY
26JUL1835 HENRY JANAWAY
This marriage at Combe
17NOV1825 CHARLES JANNOWAY to HARRIET COOPER
I can't find a baptism for Charles in Hampshire but did find
24NOV1805 HARRIET COOPER Baptised Wickham d/o William & Elizabeth COOPER. Wickham is not really very far from Combe.
It looks like they may have emigrated before the 1841 Census
Hope that helps

Hi Cathy,
Charles Janeway is my GGGGGrandfather through his daughter Ellen (m George Randall 1850 in SA). I only have details through Ellen, not other sisters. Charles died 3 March 1888 at Strathalbyn and Harriet 11 Jan 1884 also at Strathalbyn. Does this mean we are related? Happy to provide details of Ellens (extended) family.
Regards,
....Tony

hello distant cousins. Charles Janeway is my great great great great grandfather through his daughter Ann Soward. I know that Charles and Harriet nee Cooper arrived in Adelaide on the William Mitchell on 27 August 1840 with four children including Ann and a son George
I'm wondering if you've found any family history back in Hampshire, who Charles and Harriet's parents were?
Cheers
Ruth

Hi Vic
Just wanting to check up on where you got the info for the baptisms and marriage at Combe, also the Wickham baptism? Is there a particular church? And are there online records? (I'm in Sydney) I haven't been able to find anything on Charles and Harriet's families back in the UK and I'm very keen to do so, I have a bee in my bonnet about where the name Soward came from! Soward was Ann's middle name and pops up in every generation subsequently, including my Dad.
And yes they did come to Aus before the 1841 census, they arrived in Adelaide Aug 1840. Ann died young and her hubby and children with George and his children eventually settled near Mount Gambier. Ellen moved to Teralba near Newcastle as another cousin mentioned, and Henry migrated to Canada. happy to share info if anyone's interested.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Cheers, Ruth

Hi Cathy
I'm wondering if you ever found the original records about the marriage of Charles Janeway and Harriet nee Cooper, in Coombe Hampshire. There was an answer to your 2010 post from a Vic Wise, quoting a transcription, but i haven't been able to find original, and haven't had a response from Vic Wise. I'm contacting you just in case you have subsequently found anything about this couple before they emigrated.
many thanks

Administration of the village of Combe transferred from Hampshire to Berkshire in 1895 & the records for the Combe Janeways are now held in Berkshire. Marriage and 4 child baptisms found at this URL, fee charged for accessing transcripts online.

Charles Janeway's parents found. Combe is at corner of Wiltshire, Berkshire, Hampshire. Sometimes it's been in Berkshire, sometimes Hampshire. Across the river from Combe the village of Shalbourne has sometimes been in Berkshire, sometimes in Wiltshire. Charles Jannoway baptised in Shalbourn 13 September 1801, father John, mother Hannah Straing. Galaxy of spellings used in different records describing people from the shire boundary region, this list is not complete: Genoway/Geneway/Giner/Janaway/Janeway/Jenner/Johnaway/Jenneway, Strange/Straing.

Harriet Cooper found, thanks to a suggestion posted in another forum.
Born 1800 in East Woodhay, 3 miles/1 hour walk east of Combe, parents Joseph Cooper & Anne Seward.
Use search surname Seward in Kingsclere Families database at http://www.kingsclere.org.uk/contents.html to trace both Cooper & Seward families through parish records back to the mid 1600s. Sewards were often blacksmiths.

Again, many thanks, much appreciated.
