Thank you Anthony for that wonderful explanation on lease matters pertaining to the Alleynes and thanks to Shane for the map of Coolaprevan. I'm sure Anthony will also appreciate the link.
I notevthat the townland is in County Tipperary and in the Barony of Iffa & Offa West and wondered if it is near Golden?
Please excuse me for my ignorance of Irish geography.

Anthony, thank you.  You have certainly cleared up that confusion (in my mind).

I wish I could just duck down to the Dublin Registry but alas it’s just a bit too far, somewhat!  One day I hope to visit Ireland but sometimes I fear I may have left my run too late.

I have sent you a Personal Message just prior to this posting. Please let me know if you didn’t receive same.

Hi Anthony
May I enquire where you obtained the newspaper information?

My Samuel William Hyde Alleyne described himself as a shepherd on the Australian Immigration Boards record of 1850, born in Golden Tipperary about 1803, parents William and Ellen (both deceased).

Information gleaned since, suggests William’s parents were John Alleyne and Mary Hyde (married about 1768), although this hasn’t been confirmed.

I’m wondering if the John Alleyne (mentioned at #14) as only having one son (Samuel Richard) might not be a brother or cousin to my William.
Have you any thoughts on this?

Cheers, Les

Well done Chris. Your research is excellent and so very valuable.

So the Rev’d William Benson received his BA from Trinity College Dublin & a MA from Oxford. Very heady stuff indeed!

It would seem that Rev’d William was born about 1763 in Dublin, son of William, a merchant. Your research certainly ties the Rev’d William to his sister Jane, believed to have lived 1757 & 1826. Jane married Charles Agar, later to become the first Earl of Normanton.

Thank you Chris for your efforts and RootsChat for making it possible.

HI Chris

Thank you for the information provided in your Welman & Benson postings. Some detail I was aware of and some not.

One of the details I was not aware of was the birth date/place info on Rubina Georgina Catherine Benson although I couldn’t find Rubina on the site reference you gave viz “(see the www.irishgenealogy.ie website)” ?

The arrival of Ensign WWH Benson on the "Hoogley" may be incorrect. Gerrie Sterel, in a private communication, advised me of a newspaper item in which an Ensign Benson arrived in Sydney Cove on the “Sesostris” on 23 Mar 1826.

Yes I agree that the naming of various Benson children does point to a family belief in a connection. One of these is WWH’s daughter Jane Normanton Barker Benson (b 17 Feb 1832 Kent). The Normanton is obviously a reference to Charles Agar’s title of 1st Duke of Normanton.
 
I am aware of the Turtlebunbury site and my hope is to prove the connection of the Rev’d William’s descendant WWH Benson to Jane Benson (sibling?) and thus connect the lineage back to Barnard Benson of the Fould born 1495. There is another Internet site “Stirnet” which sets out in an outline descendant form the connection between Barnard & Jane Benson, http://www.stirnet.com/

With your third posting, I can now send you a Personal Message advising of my email address. This address will be useful in exchanging Gedcom files, jpegs etc that might be of interest.
