WILTON Paul & Mary (nee Child)
« on: Thursday 01 March 12 08:17 GMT (UK) »
Above gent born Montecute, Somerset, England 1780, married around 1802
and intended emigrating to Australia, but got shipwrecked near South Africa and ended up staying there.  Very little known since then.  Descendant contacted New Zealand descendant of his brother in 1970's, but contact lost.  Descendant's name was something like Temperance.  Any info and help appreciated, as no clue as to where in South Africa they settled.

Hi Noeline,
Do you have any more info, eg when and where he was shipwrecked and possibly the name of the ship?

Hi, Sorry dor delay in replying - been in Australia.  No, have very little details.  I am descended hru his brother.  Some of the family came to NZ mid 1840's and huge number of descendants.
Book researched and published.  There was contact from a descendant of Pauls in the 1970's but details sketchy and at that time it was uncertain whether there was a connection to the NZ family.  The contacts name was I believe Temperance
(Christian name), and whether she had the Wilton surname is unknown.  The time period for shipwreck would I think be between 1800 and 1830.  Noeline Larkin :P
