Oh and the Kreymborg's fit in because Sarah's elder sister, Ellen, married Richard Kreymborg.

Australia Lookups completed / Re: Witts Family Marriage & Births Look Ups Please
« on: Monday 06 December 21 08:37 GMT (UK) »Wow this is a very old tread, so Im not sure if its still active or not.
I hope you all found the information you needed about Sarah.
Sarah is my 3x great aunt and it can be hard to find information on her at times as her last name is spelt incorrectly over multiple records... Her correct surname is Lavell.
Her father is William Lavell, born in Ireland in 1806.
Her mother is Ellen Kenny, also born in Ireland roughly around 1822.
Sarah is the youngest of 6 children. She has 3 older brothers and 2 older sisters.
William, Mary/May, John, James and Ellen (born in that order)
Her father William enlisted in the 51st regiment in England in 1825 and spent several years traveling round in service. He married Ellen Kenny in Chatham Kent, England in 1837.
How and where they meet in unknown and William's last name is spelt Lavall on their marriage certificate.
Sarah's older brother and sister, William and Mary/May, were born during their time in England. We're not exactly sure where John was born as no record can be found, though some of his marriage records and his death certificate lists his birth place as Maria Island, which is now a National Park but back in the mid 1800's it was used as a penal colony for the 51st Regiment. It is suspected that her father was there for a period of time on duty.
Her bother James was born in Hobart Tasmania. Her older sister Ellen was born in Western Port,as was Ellen.
I have more information bout them if anyone wonts to contact me 🤷🏼♀️
My linage is through Sarah's eldest bother William, he is my 3x great grandfather.

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure how old this thread as I'm still learning how to use this site, so apologies in advance if I do something wrong.
I was just wondering how one would start finding out about a relative who was stationed at the Chatham Barracks all the way back in 1837 and probably a bit of time prior to that?
Im honestly running out places to look and would really appreciate any points or hints please!

Hi Everyone,
I've just found this site while trying to track down my 4x great grandparents.
I saw this post and I'm not sure how much help I can be but Martha Green was once my great grandmother.
She was married to my great grandfather Andrew Lavell for a very short period of time.
I also have contact with one Annie Green's grandchildren... Annie Green was Martha's sister
