Information from Marilyn Bloxsom
My Great Great Great Great Grandmother Abigail Weller married John Page not sure when.She was born on 11 april 1793 in Sandhurst Kent England and was the daughter
of Thomas Weller and Elizabeth Maynard who were married 13 june 1787 in Kent England. Richard tells me that you are researching this family and are descended from John Weller
who was Abigails brother. Abigail was married before she married John Page who is my GGGGgrandfather. I do not know who she married before John.
In 1840 Abigail and John emigrated to Austraila on the ship “James Pattterson arriving in Sydney 8-Feb 1840
Thanking you Marilyn Bloxsom nee Page Rockhampton Queensland Australia
Abigail and John Page emigrated on the James Patterson in 1840 and they took their children Daniel 14, James 6, George 8 , Abigail is listed as being 47and John is 48 also on board is
a Jane Page aged 16, I do not know if she is their daughter. I have been told by a fellow researcher that Abigail’s son David from her first marriage was also on board with the family.
I thank both Cheryl & Marilyn for their kind assistance
Summery
So to summerise:-
1) John Weller baptised twice, 1805 Hawkhurst, and 1846 Sandhurst - both times claiming Thomas & Elizabeth Weller as his parents
2) John Weller married 1827, witnesses by Mary Weller, and Mary Weller married 1827 witnessed by John Weller - they must be siblings
3) David Weller married 1832, witnessed by Mary Gutsell (Weller) and her Husband James - also must be siblings
4) David Weller living in Sandhurst in 1841 with his Mother and Sister Elizabeth & Katherine
5) Elizabeth, Katherine & Abigail Weller bap at Sandhurst to Thomas & Elizabeth Weller.
Therefore John, Mary, David, Elizabeth, Katherine & Abigail are the children of Thomas & Elizabeth Weller.
