Hi Donna, we must be related then!
William is my ggggggrandfather, his daughter married William Atkins who had a daughter Sophia - also born in Moonta.
Sophia had a rough life, she married a deadbeat called George Roberts and had my Great Grandmother Mary Roberts (went by her step fathers name of Parish) in Broken Hill before divorcing him in 1900 and marrying Samuel Parish in 1902 and having 3 more children.
Interestingly Mary was always known to me as Nanna Parish, I knew nothing of the Roberts link before researching my tree.
As for William and Elizabeth I believe that they were from the Shropshire area. I have them married in Wolverhampton in 1837 and living at Queen St Broseley with 3 children in the 1841 census.
In their marriage registry William’s father is John (farmer) and Elizabeth’s father Samuel (Keeper).
