thanks Trish1120

I just received a new notification from Geni.com that I have another DNA match with a lady who is related to the Carringtons who were ancestors of Robert Carrington and his father Joseph Carrington husband of Jane Bradney.

There is a new enquiry on here about a Charles Wellman from an Australian I will sms Fauxy Lady to let her know.
kind regards

Hi Trish1120

Thank you. I don't think Robert Carrington was Charles Jones but an interesting story. Yes it has been frustrating our search for Charles Jones origins. My brother, aunt and sister all drew blanks when they did research on him.  I am grateful though to everyone on Roots who has contributed to my search as their responses have made me dig deeper and I may have finally found out the details of his birth and parents but need to try and confirm this.

Hi
Yes Geneology is fascinating. I agree that offering to do this as a volunteer may lead to a paid offer in this work.   You are in the right place at the right time to get an offer.
All the best in your new career.
I've got a degree, not in geneology but I doubt you need a degree to do this.

Hi Trish1120 and thank you for your addition to this subject.

Are you related to Robert Carrington and descendants?

I have done some searching and I believe that Jones is an alias and the real surname is not Jones and originally not Carrington and so trying now to trace through Charles' wife Susannah.

Hi Spidermonkey thank you for all your additions to this subject

No evidence of them arriving together and Charles Jones was not even listed as a passenger on the same ship as Susannah Jones nee Osborne.

Thank you all again.   
Yes I believe Charles Jones was an alias.
If we could find out where Susannah Osborne was a servant when aged 15 to 18 that might be a lead if we knew the name of the family for whom she worked.
Charles Jones records on the Ballarat Asylum reflects five lines of inmates named Charles Jones, some don't mention any parents names, some entries do.
Jones is a common surname and therefore a perfect surname to use as an alias.

Dear Jamjar
Thank you for the list of their children. Eva Carrington Jones was my great grandmother the mother of my Grandmother who was also called Eva Carrington with surname Martin as her mother married Henry Martin.
I found a sketchy record of a family of Carringtons headed by Joseph residing in Kidderminster from an 1841 census.  All the members of the family have ??Carrington next to each record??

Thank you lovely people for your responses. Dear Kay99 I don't have the marriage certificate and I understand that his parents are not listed on it in any case.  He is a mystery man I heard that he was sent to Australia in disgrace because he married his aristocrat mother's secretary who was Susannah Osborne.  I don't have confirmation of his year of birth even. He was from Kidderminster, Worcestershire.  Their first child was born in Australia, please see following.
"Children of Charles JONES and Susannah OSBORNE:
1. Mary Ann JONES b 1857 Ballarat d/o Charles/Susannah OSBORNE [Vic 14694]
Mary Ann JONES died 1857 Ballarat aged 5 weeks d/o Charles/Susannah [Vic 6488]
Mary Ann JONES age 5 wks, Specimen Hill (later known as Eureka Street), Ballarat bur 9 Nov 1857 Ballarat Old Cemetery [Location not known]"

I am trying to trace the birth details of my great great grandfather Charles Jones who was born in 1825 and married Susannah Osborne 26 April 1857 in Worcestershire. They moved to Australia and I believe Charles was a remittance man.

I do not know Charles Jones parents names and as they are my great great great grandparents I wish to find out who they were so I can give this information to my baby granddaughter.
