The Common Room / Re: James Williams m. Elizabeth Bush, Lambeth 1840s - searching for marriage
« on: Tuesday 11 November 25 03:40 GMT (UK)  »


"marriage of James Williams (born around 1819 in Lambeth), coal porter, and Elizabeth Bush (born around 1827 in Lambeth). Their first child was George, born in 1845 in Lambeth. "

Are you seeing this family in the 1861 and 1871 Census?

Can you identify the family that you see in the 1861 Census.

Can you identify the family that you see in the 1871 Census.

"The text is a 1831 scribe copy of a 1830 personal diary. The scribe was a local working in an office for the East India Company."

What do you know about the diarist?. There might be a clue there.

Is the scribe copying the original faithfully....including the letters you see?

Can you confirm, or otherwise please -

the earliest sighting you have of James ARTHUR in the Australian colonies is 1838 -


"I know he returned to Adelaide in 1838 (possibly on the Merope) from Hobart."

Can you please give the sources of all the information you are giving the forum to work with.

"According to his testimony in 1841,"  What testimony?  What does this refer to?

What was his line of business/occupation?

Are you a direct descendant?
