Jeanes from Somerset, England

I have been tracing my family history and this is what I have gathered from records in Australia. John Jeanes born about 1811 or near thenin Somertshire came to Australia and married here. According to his death certificate his mothers name was Ann (formerly O'Brien) and his fathers name was William and William is recorded as being a lawyer. I assume they did not come to Australia with John. I do not know if John came with any brothers or sisters. The jeanes name appears to have disapeeared in our family as the girls survived I don't know as yet what happende to the brothers and once the girls married the family name changes. My Great grandmother was Ellen Jeanes and she married into the Flynn family hence my surname. Hope those living in Sometshire can link my family with yours!Kerrie Flynn
