Thanks for the advice. I am relatively new to this. I do not know when Elizabeth Hawkins died. I only know her marriage date. Woolara

Ah, so she's not like Eliza Lemon then! ;)

She did emigrate to Australia too, though? Or should we be looking for her in English records? How about John Colwill, any death or other records for him?

Know nothing about John Colwill other than marriage date and he came from Bradworthy. Don't know of any immigration either. Assume they remained in England. A John Colwill convicted of Sheep stealing died on the voyage out in 1826 and there are a couple of other Colwills came out as convicts as well some years later. Woolara

Can you explain what your actual focus is with this couple? Is one of them a sibling of an ancestor, are you descended from one of their children ...?

It's not to pry or suggest you have to justify your question, not at all -- just to establish what you actually do know about them, and what it is you want to find out.

So ... we know that Elizabeth Hawkins and John Colwill were the parents of Charles Colwill who married Eliza Lemon in Barnstaple in 1833 and promptly emigrated to Australia?

Sorry to say, but it's a little like pulling teeth!  ;D

It seems that Eliza and John were deceased by 1841?

I have looked for them in the 1841 census and not been able to identify them ... have you ... looked for them ...?

You do understand that finding someone in a census, for instance, can provide information about their date and place of birth?
