My brick wall is my 3 x grandfather, Charles Maynard Born ~1804c, 1841 and 1851 census have him down as born in Leigh. At some point before 1833 he married Martha Lee (can't find registration for this either), Martha born in Seal, Kent, to parents Jonathona Lee and Martha Lee nee Mitchell. Charles and Martha had seven children, Eliza, William, Mary Ann, Thomas, Elizabeth, Esther , and Charles, all born in Sevenoaks, Kent. Another researcher has a George Maynard marrying a Jane Lee in Sevenoaks with witness's Charles and Martha Maynard. This is the only possible other relative i have for Charles. Maybe brothers married sisters?, but no proof. i have tried to find parents for Geroge Maynard and tried to tie Charles in that way, with no sucess. Charles and Martha, along with 5 of their children migrated to Australia as assisted migrants in 1852 aboard "Helen", one child ( Charles) died enroute. They were sponsered by William McIntosh and Duncan Mc Rae of Mosquito Plains South Australia. I am very keen to find a birth, christening, marriage, anything about Charles Maynard's life in Sevenoaks, Kent, England. And of course his wife Martha Maynard nee Lee. Anything that anyone can suggest will be most welcome, even if it sounds obvious to you, i may not have tried it, and am happy to sift through info that i may or maynot have seen before.

Hi there,   

 

I have just discovered that my husband's family are related to an Elizabeth Maynard who married Edward Jones in Naracoorte in 1860.   I note in one of your postings that you have information about Charles and Martha's  daughters in Australia.   I do know that Edward and Elizabeth moved to Ross on the west coast of NZ not long after that but I have no other information regarding them.     If you have any suggestions or an idea of a timeframe I would be very grateful for any info. you may have.

 

Regards,

 

Di Jones

Hi Di,

Very excited to see your note, I don't have a lot on what happened to Elizabeth and Edward after their marriage. I would very much like to compare info, and have sent you a PM.
