Title: Elizabeth JONES
Post by: heaths on Friday 18 November 11 09:33 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find records for Elizabeth Jones. Her father was Robert Jones of the "Scarborough" and he was second fleet and on Norfolk Island same as Elizabeth Goldsmith "Lady Juliana".

Elizabeth was born 21 Feb 1798 and Mary 1799. Both on Norfolk Is.

I know Mary married William Collins Burke Jackson but after his death she is missing except for a few hints from her husbands estate.

Elizabeth was selling the family home in Harrington St, the Rocks for her mother after Robert Jones died in 1818.

The 2 Elizabeths were each given land grants at New Norfolk Tasmania.. but again after the death of her mother in 1823.. nothing

Robert Jones was Assistant Superintendant of Police in Sydney and had a good career.

Anything would be a help :)

This is not easy to follow so can you indicate if I am understanding the story correctly.

Robert Jones, "Scarborough" First Fleet, and Elizabeth Goldsmith "Lady Juliana" First Fleet are parents of Elizabeth (1798) and Mary (1799) born NI.

After Robert Jones d. 1818, daughter Elizabeth sold Jones family home in Harrington St for mother, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Jones, and her mother Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones received land grants in Tasmania.

After death of Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones, 1823, you have no information about daughter Elizabeth.

Mary m. William Collins Burke, and  you do not know about her life after death of husband William.



Did Elizabeth Jones, and mother Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones, take up their land grants in Tasmania...did they live in Tasmania. Do you know when  they received the land grants at New Norfolk, Tasmania?


Where did Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones die 1823?


...After death of Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones, 1823, you have no information about daughter Elizabeth...

Does that mean you know that Elizabeth was alive at the time of her mother's death? Was Elizabeth unmarried in 1823...less common for the times you would think.


....Mary m. William Collins Burke, and  you do not know about her life after death of husband William...

Is this a second, and related, enquiry....the later life of Mary (Jones) Burke?
If so, when and where did husband William die please.

What children did William Collins Burke and Mary Jones have?.

Hi heaths

The 2 Elizabeths appear to have been in Hobart in 1821 as per the Colonial Sec Index.

There are 3 marriages of Elizabeth JONES in Tasmania between 1829 & 1836, unfortunately their age is not stated.

I believe they took up the land grants at New Norfolk and are mentioned in George Evans book as having 50 acres each in 1822..

Elizabeth Goldsmith died 5th April 1823 and was buried as Elizabeth Rainer (Name of first husband from Norfolk Island was William Rayner). Her daughter Elizabeth Jones is on the cemetry index as her child. Burial
    Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
    Ceremony Performed by R.Knopwood. M.A. Buried at St Davids Hobart

and thats the last I know of these 2 ladies....Mary Jones is not that important as yet..

All I have as a fact is she was in Tasmania living since 1818 and left Sydney after her father Robert jones death with her mother Elizabeth Jones nee Rayner nee Goldsmith.

Possibly married at New Norfolk or Hobart or maybe never married!!!

Then a death I have 1 possible in 1882 in NSW with right parents names for an Elizabeth Jones reg 1451 and that I think I will order asap.

The son got his fathers estate and did very well. I have a mention in the Sydney Gazette that his wife Mary Jackson nee Jones and children inherited eventually.

I have good research on Marys children but not anything concrete on Mary and I am not liking the Bethune theory as I can't get anything as factual on it.

I have been in contact with Rayner researchers as Eliza Rayner is a gggg grandmother of mine through her oldest son Walter de Molesworth Jeffery.

Many thanks.

I think what has me intrigued is the fact that these 2 ladies got a Land Grant each and a 60 pound payment..The house they sold was substancial at 18 Harrington St The rocks. Sydney.. They seem to have moved fast after Robert Jones died to move to Hobart.

Was it common for Land Grants to women?? I don't think they were short of money. or had debts except for owing the Hobart Govt 20 pounds each as pf 21 May 1821 on the list of debts due from individuals.

I have them both on 1819 stock muster,
 on stores  list at Hobart 24 March 1820 with a zero ration and 1 govt man.
 And on Hobart Town muster of women 1822

Then after the mother died.. zilch

Hi

The other marriage in Tasmania is of

Elizabeth Harrington JONES to Peter BREWER in  1833. I think we can rule that one out too, as Elizabeth Harrington BREWER dies aged 80 in 1891.

The middle name caught my eye as it is the same as the street in Sydney.

According to James Donohue's "The people and their Families Tasmania 1803-1820"

An Elizabeth JONES marries Thomas JOHNSON at St David's 19th Jan 1818
Child:- Benjamin Thomas born 12th Dec 1818

A Benjamin Thomas JOHNSON died Hobart 9th June 1883 aged 65 Reg no: 912/1883 RGD35

It would seem that William and George Rayner, sons of John Rayner and Elizabeth Goldsmith also  lived in Tasmania. William m. 1815, so the Rayner family is in Tasmania before the death of Robert Jones and death of mother Elizabeth Jones.

Elizabeth Jones is a very ordinary name and findingmarriage and death for Elizabeth (b 1798) might not be possible.

You might be able to locate her by association with siblings...witness at marriage of William or George in Tasmania, godmother of children baptised etc.

I wouldn't discount this Elizabeth, yet.  Considering how much travelling this family appears to have done.

Following her I find that.

Thomas Johnson burial 13th Dec 1818 aged 33 (his age at time of marriage in January - 32)
Then I find Elizabeth JOHNSON aged 26 marrying Charles DONN 19th February 1824.
Then I find Elizabeth DONN marrying Henry BUTLER 26th November 1827.

Elizabeth BUTLER dies in Hobart in 22nd August 1875 aged 78.
She is buried with her son Benjamin Thomas JOHNSON at Cornelian Bay CofE Section D No: 27

In Benjamin Thomas' will he mentions his cousin Benjamin Charles JONES.  I think this could be the son of James Jones & Mary Anne Huding.  James is mentioned as another child of Robert & Elizabeth (nee Goldsmith) JONES.  He also mentions his daughter Rosetta JONES child born to him by Mary Ann JONES.  She resided with him and his mother.

They sold the house in Sydney and the notice that they were quitting the colony with a public notice in the Gazette dated 12 Sept 1818 and the house was put up for auction..29 Sept 1818..as per the Sydney Gazette
BY MR. LORD,

At his Auction Mart, Macquarie Place, on Tuesday

the 29th Instant, at 12 o'clock precisely,

THAT well known HOUSE and PREMISES, situate

in Cumberland-street, formerly the residence of j   the late Mr. Jones, Assistant Superintendant of Police-.

The House is built of brick, and contains several spacious Apartments, with a Cellar, and a Well con- stantly supplied with good Water, and has the advan- tage of fronting two Streets.

Any Person who may be desirous to purchase the above, by Private Contract, previous to the Day of Sale, will be treated with on Reference to Miss Jones, on the Premises; or Mr. W. Hutchinson, George street.-Prompt Payment.

and as they are in the Musters for Hobart in 1819, on rations list 24 march 1820 and The Hobart Muster of women 1822. Elizabeth Snr died 1823

So 1818 or early 1819.. But they were in Tasmania.

The "Elizabeth Henrietta" was a Government ship and they must have been approved for passage..according to the notices in the gazette.

wow that must be a lot to narrow her down but it isn't as yet..

The record of the marriage to William Rayner is not recorded from Norfolk Island or records lost but William Rayner registered both his marriages to the Quakers in Hobart and all his children in 1834.. I have the copy of those records..

Robert Jones marriage..it had to be a bigamist marriage by Elizabeth Goldsmith as she was still married to William Rayner, and he married Susan Chapman whilst still married to Elizabeth..

So how much did the marriages count from Norfolk Island if they failed...not much, I suppose they were forced on them as well as the women were sent there to be with the men.

But the relationship with Robert Jones lasted till his death and was recognised by the Police and gave her a pension etc..

but the dates I have are William Rayner 19 Sept 1791 as per the Friends record and 1797 for Robert Jones.

But all the children of Elizabeth Goldsmith were baptised on Norfolk Is. by Rev. H. Fulton the 20 May 1804 and all with the surname of Jones. ie William and George sons of William Rayner and Roberts daughters Elizabeth and Mary. The boys lived with them on Norfolk and in Sydney until the boys went to Hobart..with William Rayner Snr possibly in 1814 as per the public notices but the Williams get mixed up here..

William Rayner moved to Hobart and lived there until his death..lived at the Cnr of Barracks st and Collins St Hobart.. He was a Baker.

Sarah Rayner is his second daughter to Susannah Chapman she married Thomas Kerr 23 Jan 1832 at Hobart. There a million Rayners I think sometimes and a heap named William!!!
