Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: JANEWAY from Coombe Hampshire
« on: Monday 17 September 18 14:11 BST (UK)  »
Harriet Cooper found, thanks to a suggestion posted in another forum.
Born 1800 in East Woodhay, 3 miles/1 hour walk east of Combe, parents Joseph Cooper & Anne Seward.
Use search surname Seward in Kingsclere Families database at http://www.kingsclere.org.uk/contents.html to trace both Cooper & Seward families through parish records back to the mid 1600s. Sewards were often blacksmiths.

Charles Janeway's parents found. Combe is at corner of Wiltshire, Berkshire, Hampshire. Sometimes it's been in Berkshire, sometimes Hampshire. Across the river from Combe the village of Shalbourne has sometimes been in Berkshire, sometimes in Wiltshire. Charles Jannoway baptised in Shalbourn 13 September 1801, father John, mother Hannah Straing. Galaxy of spellings used in different records describing people from the shire boundary region, this list is not complete:  Genoway/Geneway/Giner/Janaway/Janeway/Jenner/Johnaway/Jenneway,  Strange/Straing.

Inverness / Re: Alexander & Rachel Mc Innes census lookup

Alexander McInnes buried at Robe was also on the Hercules. He was from Boreraig, married Maragaret McRae who died during the voyage, and joined his brother in law in what is now Naracoorte before the family settled at Crower station between Naracoorte and Robe. He had two daughters named Catherine, one married a Watson at Konetta. His only descendants (son John) have surname Murray.

Alexander McInnes from Heast who married Rachel McInnes of Harripool arrived in Adelaide and went to Wellington. Rachel died there in 1865. Alexander later married his housekeeper in Meningie and had a 2nd family. Most children in His first family went to Victoria. One daughter married an O'Dea at Tungkillo.

The two Alexanders were related. They had a younger common relative, John McInnes, who arrived in the late 1860s. John McInnes grew up in Boreraig and when about 10 moved to Heast Alexander's croft. His father took over Heast Alexander's ahre of the croft when Heast Alexander  emigrated.  When John emigrated, he joined Boreraig Alexander's sons in Australia.

As far as I know, noone has been able to work out exactly how any of them were related.

Bill Clarke's meticulous transcripts of HIES passenger lists are at this URL:

It helps though doesn't clarify a lot. Alexander and Rachel were on the HMS Hercules. So was their niece Margaret. She drowned in Ireland.

A good researcher in Victoria Australia tracked into this family a few years ago. From memory she came to the conclusion that the father of Margaret who embarked on the Hercules with Alexander and Rachel McInnes was in Aird, & her grandparents were Malcolm McInnes/Annabella McPherson of Kylerhea in Sleat, Skye. Whether she found the Margaret who stayed behind I don't know, and I'm sorry, I don't remember many details, only that a women in ?glenelg? was somehow key to it all. If you email me at rosmci at gmail  dot com I will send you Irene's contact details. Sorry about writing my email address in words,  trying to dodge spammers). Can tell you Alexander lived at #10 Heast. His parents Malcolm McInnes/Margaret Buchanan. He and his brother took over the croft in the 1840s. Rachel came from Harrapool. Rachel died at Wellington SA in 1865. One of her daughters remained in SA with her family at Tungkillo but I think the others went to Victoria when Alexander remarried at the age of 70.
