Jacob Roberts  Born Manningford Bruce, Wiltshire, England in 7 November 1813.

An English Census still has him in Manningford in 1851 but for some reason he decided to travel to Australia late in his life with a wife 7mths Pregnant and a bunch of children.
he Departed South Hamptden, England  10th April 1853 aboard the COROMANDEL and arrived in Hobart Tasmania, Australia 18th July 1853.

He was accompanied by his wife Mary Ann (Saunders) whom he had married November 1837

The Children were

William,  Sydney, Jane, Ann, George, Sarah and Matilda.


Hope this helps.

regards

Ian rOBERTS

hats a shame.  I have traced my family back to Manningford Bruce, Wilshire England.  Records from the church indicate Jacob, his wife and 8 children lived there and so did his father was George.  I have nothing on George and Im not even sure if our two families interconnect at all.  I will try further and keep you up to date.  my email is *   Feel free to email me and I will send you what I have.

I have a copy of the ship's records etc

Regards

Ian

Hey Guys
Sorry to chime in a lil late. My G G G G Grandfather was Jacob Roberts. He was from Manningford England. His fathers Name was George.  Jacob and his wife Mary never came here to Australia until late in life.  It appears he was around 42 when he decided to take the boat with 8 or so kids and a wife already 7 months pregnant. (lost the child at sea).  Very little is known about him or his father George but records show Jacob as a Lawyer or such and George, his Father as a carpenter.  Can anyone sged some light?
