[chithead]

Thanks Janey I had forgot that site you mentioned previously, and did find marriage of a Louisa Symons in 1851 and several for a Jane Symons, 2 in Camborne parish, several in other parishes right time period, may just have to bite the bullet and get copies so I can see if any of them my Great Aunts. As the original just a listing of names not who married who or who were their witnesses, which is a great help in determining if have right party.
To think this all started because my older Brother interested in finding out about my Great Grandmother Bridget Clarke nee Doherty which led me to Rootschat and research deeluker carried out to find the Owner of a bible she had picked up at a garage sale. The bible belonged to a Uncle of mine and from there of gone from Clarke/Doherty to Clarke/Symons to Symons/Dunstan to Arbon/Bennier to Bennier/Chittleborough to Chittleborough/Fullwoods and so on as it goes back but these just the ones who came to South Australia as first settlers. But it is fun. Thanks for your help. warm regards chithead

What an amazing find! -- both the bible itself and finding the person who found it. And once you're hooked, you're hooked.

hi, I believe that Louisa Symons is possibly my great great grandmother. I come from South Australia and believe that Louisa arrived on the Sir Thomas Gresham  in Port Adelaide 19/3/1854. In the 1851 UK census Louisa is listed as 16 and a dressmaker. On the passenger list she is listed as 18 and a dressmaker from Cornwall.
I believe she married Tom Lane in 1855 who arrived on the Florentia at Port Adelaide with his family 20/6/1849.
I am interested in following your discoveries.
