Hi

After Charles Milson was transported to Australia, he married Annie Maria Lyons (sp?) who I believe was born in Basseldon Berkshire in 1816 and came to Australia around 1835 to spent 1 year in Tasmania and then came to NSW. They were married at Segenhoe near Maitland NSW 07/11/1837 and had a number of children including my G Grandfather Edwin Lewis Milson. She died 01/07/1865 at Overton Muswellbrook NSW.

Does anyone have any information in regard to Annie Maria Lyons prior to her coming to Australia and her parents etc?

Thanks everyone. That information pretty well checks with what I thought, except for the dob. Also I will look further into the Marriage to Martha Bearfield on the 23/07/1827. I was told that he had been married before being sent to Australia, and had a previous family, but didn't know any details. I'll also see if I can get hold of a copy of the Jill Chambers book 'Berkshire Machine Breakers'

I have some information that his second marriage was to Annie Maria Lyons in Maitland NSW 7 November 1837. I think she was born in 1816 Bassledon Berkshire and came to Australia about 1835. Any information about her would be appreciated.
