Langtons in Ballarat
Maria Langtonis on the list of ships immigrants for the Manchester which arrived at Port Phillip Australia on the 12 Jan 1849. She is listed as Maria Robson, wife of Thomas Robson and is listed as arriving with two children Sarah Jane{4} and Edward {1}. Maria is listed as being 28 years of age , able to read and belonging to the Church of England.
There appears to be two possable birth places for MariaCorringham Lincolnshire England ,or Scotter/Scotton, Lincolnshire England.
Her parents were Richard Langton and Sarah Homesworth?Hemsworth?
She was born 16/01/1820 and was the 4th of six children.She married Thomas Robson in England and they had three children before all trace of Thomas Robson is lost.Her oldest child - Sarah Jane Robson married Thomas Rutherford and they are my gg grandparents.
Maria seems to have moved to Ballarat with the Robson children and settled with Joshua some time before 1855 when George was born.On Georges Birth Certificate it states that Joshua Ware was a carter aged 27 and was born in Windsor, England. The children
George, born 1/11/1855 Died 1876
Joshua, born approx 1856 (Year of birth worked out according to Joshua's age on Maria Langton/Ware's Death certificate)
Henry,born 1857 married a Eliza Charlotte DENNIS in Ballarat in 1884
Emma, born 1859Ballarat.
Samuel Thomas,born 1863 died 1868 The cause of death was being kicked by a horse
Lucy Maria, born 1865Ballarat
I am interested in Langtons and Wares that had the "free trip" - was there a Beeston Langton amongst them.Beeston was Maria's brother and was transported to Hobart on the Elphingston - Convicted in Lincolnshire - 1835.
Can any one help
