Elizabeth JONES
« on: Friday 18 November 11 09:33 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find records for Elizabeth Jones. Her father was Robert Jones of the "Scarborough" and he was second fleet and on Norfolk Island same as Elizabeth Goldsmith "Lady Juliana".

Elizabeth was born 21 Feb 1798 and Mary 1799. Both on Norfolk Is.

I know Mary married William Collins Burke Jackson but after his death she is missing except for a few hints from her husbands estate.

Elizabeth was selling the family home in Harrington St, the Rocks for her mother after Robert Jones died in 1818.

The 2 Elizabeths were each given land grants at New Norfolk Tasmania.. but again after the death of her mother in 1823.. nothing

Robert Jones was Assistant Superintendant of Police in Sydney and had a good career.

Anything would be a help :)

This is not easy to follow so can you indicate if I am understanding the story correctly.

Robert Jones, "Scarborough" First Fleet, and Elizabeth Goldsmith "Lady Juliana" First Fleet are parents of Elizabeth (1798) and Mary (1799) born NI.

After Robert Jones d. 1818, daughter Elizabeth sold Jones family home in Harrington St for mother, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Jones, and her mother Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones received land grants in Tasmania.

After death of Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones, 1823, you have no information about daughter Elizabeth.

Mary m. William Collins Burke, and  you do not know about her life after death of husband William.



Did Elizabeth Jones, and mother Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones, take up their land grants in Tasmania...did they live in Tasmania. Do you know when  they received the land grants at New Norfolk, Tasmania?


Where did Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones die 1823?


...After death of Elizabeth (Goldsmith) Jones, 1823, you have no information about daughter Elizabeth...

Does that mean you know that Elizabeth was alive at the time of her mother's death? Was Elizabeth unmarried in 1823...less common for the times you would think.


....Mary m. William Collins Burke, and  you do not know about her life after death of husband William...

Is this a second, and related, enquiry....the later life of Mary (Jones) Burke?
If so, when and where did husband William die please.

What children did William Collins Burke and Mary Jones have?.

Hi heaths

The 2 Elizabeths appear to have been in Hobart in 1821 as per the Colonial Sec Index.

There are 3 marriages of Elizabeth JONES in Tasmania between 1829 & 1836, unfortunately their age is not stated.

What children did William Collins Burke and Mary Jones have?.



I believe they took up the land grants at New Norfolk and are mentioned in George Evans book as having 50 acres each in 1822..

Elizabeth Goldsmith died 5th April 1823 and was buried as Elizabeth Rainer (Name of first husband from Norfolk Island was William Rayner). Her daughter Elizabeth Jones is on the cemetry index as her child. Burial
    Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
    Ceremony Performed by R.Knopwood. M.A. Buried at St Davids Hobart

and thats the last I know of these 2 ladies....Mary Jones is not that important as yet..
