Been out - so the Gretna marriage of Edward Sancton to Sarah Bell is a red herring?

Not necessarily they are from Cumberland could be connected to the family.

This is the best bet birth cert I think - we can be safe in this is Ayesha who is the other child on that baptism.

I'm hoping also to find his entry into Australia if he was assisted. Ofcourse if he paid his own way that will not be so easy. Sancton's marriage cert will give more details but that will possibly take a month!!.
The first time I have found him in NSW is when he marries in 1882 at Coonabarbran, (out west) so possibly he came as a jackaroo because the lady he married was part of the squatocracy.
The indexers had trouble with his name too, he is named Laveton for his marriage and for daughters' births he is named Saneton x 2, then Saucton and the final 2 Sancton. Many thanks again. Julie

On Ancestry, Sancton Bell, unassisted passenger, arrived Port Jackson, NSW, 25 January 1856, on the Joshua.

Thanks Shona .. I wonder if that date is right, as he would only have been 5 .. Unless all the family come out?

Just looking at the image (on the phone, so diff to read).

Yes, the whole family are listed. Edward and Mary Ann and a whole tribe of kiddies. No ages for any of the children, but this is the order they are listed in, which I guess is age order:


Sarah
Agenona ?
Annie
John
Louis ?
Thomas
Sancton
Alice
Maria

The cabin passengers are shown on two different pages on Ancestry, and the two lists for the Bell family are different (more names on the first page).

It's very hard to read on Ancestry, but there's a better scan here:

http://mariners.records.nsw.gov.au/1...ame=082jos.gif

The list reads:

Edw'd Bell
M. Ann
Zara?
Ayesha?
Annie
Charles
John?
Louisa
Thomas
Sancton
Alice
Maria
Mary Eliza

Been doing a bit of Googling. Quite a few hits for Edward Bell who was Sydney's City Engineer from tbe 1850s. He was big in drainage and sewerage.
