Dear John
I am interested in your posting. Is your William John Weston posted elsewhere on the internet as being born in LYNDHURST Hampshire, emigrating to NSW, settling in Gilgandra ?
I have been doing considerable reseach into the Weston family of Lyndhurst HANTS.I have not noticed a William John Weston as being born in Lyndhurst at that time.However, there was a John Weston born 8/6/1778 the son of John Weston and Elizabeth Petty who were married in Lyndhurst in 1773.Perhaps your William John was their descendant but born (for some reason) outside of the Parish of Lyndhurst.?
John Weston snr married a second time (to Sophia Louch) and had a son named Harry.Harry's son John Weston (Jack) is believed to have emigrated to NSW in abt 1837 and drowned at Omeo VIC in 1868 as a station overseer. I am one of his descendants.
Please contact me if you would like any further info
