Thanks so much Terry - appreciate the tips.
On another line of enquiry I believe its now more likely we fit into the Baroncy line.
And I just joined the KFHS :)
All the best

Hello All,

I am also looking to trace my Austen line (here from Sydney Australia) back into the Kent area.

Agree there is alot of confusion with the many repeated names!

I have traced back our line from the 1st ancestors to immigrate from England to Australia as Henry Austen B 1813 and Eliza Spratford up 4 generations back to Edward Austen B 1686 and Elizabeth Vane?

Robert Austen abt B1660 mother Mary Oliver? were supposedly Edwards parents .

Where I find some trouble is to then connect back to the right line of Austens in the area. We thought it could be either descendants of John Austin the 1st who married Joan Berry, or the Baronet Robert Austen B1589 who married Anne Muns. I'm struggling to get an exact hit on the names and dates here though. So also it could be neither! For me as a beginner at researching and being very far away from the region, I'm finding it challenging to feel confidence on which Austens are ours to claim!!

If anyone on this post has any insights to share I would so grateful!

Anita

Hi everyone
I have been reading this history on James and Margaret with great interest!
I believe they are part of my family tree also.
The family rumour around how the Duval line came into Australia was always very vague and all I could glean was that there was some kind of Tahitian connection????
Which I found at the time very far fetched....I wonder if the Lady Kennaway stopped at any ports in that vicinity on the way to Australia?
The son of this pair James which ended up in Walcha area married Mary Quinn and had a very large brood are my 3rd Great Grandparents through their daughter Margaret Duval. We still have family airloom which is a spoon which carries the Duval monogram/crest.
Has their been any update on the ticket of leave and whether James Duval the 1st or has anyone found out more about his history before he arrived in Australia?
Thanks
Anita
