"I have the baptism transcriptions for the four children - William, Betsy, Thomas and John. They were all baptised on 26 November 1848 at Manning River. You will note that the numbers are consecutive, with a different year. All I can think is that at some stage when the records were organised into volumes, they were entered by the birth year. Unfortunately the place of birth is not recorded. NEWBY WILLIAM 1211/1840 V18401211 49 JOHN MARY

"Mary Ann was to marry Sarah Jane’s brother George Newby in 1867, the same year that John married Sarah Jane."

In part:

"George Newby was baptised at East Halton, Lincolnshire on 1 January 1835 [East Halton Parish register]. It was actually recorded as “Geo. Newby”. He was married to Mary Ann Green on 13 July 1867 [as George Newby]. I don’t know when he included ‘Brown’ in his name. His death was registered as George Brown Newby. [It is possibly a clue as to John Newby’s lineage – I suspect John’s great grandmother was Elizabeth Brown (married to a John Newby), however I have no proof]."

In part:

"Sarah Jane married John Green at Chatham on 12 December 1867 [Source: NSW BDM Reg. No. 2247/1867]. The transcription states incorrectly that Sarah Jane was born in England. Sarah Jane died as stated on your site – 28 February 1886. Her brother John Newby was the informant, and he states that Sarah Jane was born in Port Macquarie."

In part:

"Hannah Newby was baptised at Riby, Lincolnshire on 15 December 1833. [Riby Parish registers]. The England censuses record her birthplace as Riby, Lincolnshire. She did not accompany her parents and brothers to Australia. The England censuses show she lived with her grandparents Thomas and Hannah Windley at Riby until the death of her grandmother Hannah in 1860. Thomas had died in 1850. She never married, and died on 4 January 1899 at 8 Crown Crescent, Scarborough, Yorkshire. [Death certificate]."
