Hi Again Robin. I just realised you said Lionel Owen Mobbs was your Grandfather so that would make him one of Owen Mobbs descendants, a little further down the line. I have all the names of Owens children and most of the spouses and children. and some of their grandchildren. So which of Owens (son of Charles and Harriet) do you descend from or was it one of Charles's other children. There was
Mary Ann
Louisa
Joseph
Owen
Lucy and
Charles ... their son Owens children were
Charles
Daniel
Alfred
Arthur
John
Charles W
Sarah ...my ancestor
Joseph
Martha
Ernest
Emmaline and
Christina who died when she was 6 weeks old.
Regards Alan.

Hi Helachau. yes I have that match, apparently they run something similar in Kettering every year... I also have a photo of the Kettering players which has two Mobbs brothers in it ... unfortuanetly I dont think or cannot find any one matching thosde Mobbs even though somewhere along the line my ancestors would probably be related. BUT it appears from the date the company Mobbs Miller was registered my ancestors were already in Australia. So unless I could link Astil Mobbs to that Harry Mobbs and I have all Astil's children etc etc ..no names match though.

Hi Christine. Thanks for all that info. It appears that the Mobbs Miller Company started well after my ancestors left England. I cannot link Harry Miller to any of those even though you would think in a country town the Mobbs would probably all be relatives in some form hey. It is like the town i was born in. If you go there every BAXTER in that town is related to me lol. and there are about 100 of them. But that info id very handy and I will keep searching for sons and brothers and sisters of Astil Mobbs. Astil was born in Findon. I dont know if that is close to Kettering but I think all the Mobbs would link up somewhere.
Regards Alan

Hi Alan
Thanks - John George Mobbs m Elizabeth Esther Hughes and Lionel Owen was their son.
Lionel Owen m Edith May Marguerite Fawcett- my mother was one of their daughters.
I am particularly interested to locate info re Ellen Mary MAHONEY's parents. They were John Patrick MAHONEY and Ann PEACOCK. JP Mahoney arrived in SA from Launceston on the Lady Emma in 1839 - but I am still seeking info re Ann's arrival in SA & her ancestory. I wonder whether JP Mahoney was the John Mahoney who was the seaman rescued after the Hibernian burnt at sea - and was then taken to Hobart??
Thanks for any assistance - Regards, Robin

Hi Robin.
Ok I have had trouble finding Ann’s parents as well. But I have some issues which don’t add up with Ann and John. According to my records, J P Mahoney arrived in Adelaide aboard the “Lady Emma” from Launceston on the 3/3/1839. He married Ann on the 3/6/1839 at Trinity in Adelaide, they had their first child Ellen Mary was born on the 3/10/1839. ?????? If John and Ann had of met the day he docked and she fell pregnant that day then the baby would still have been 7 months premy.. I cannot find an actual passenger list for the Lady Emma only that he was definitely on it. So it may be possible that Ann came out from England with him. And fell pregnant during the voyage ?? The only other Peacocks I have is 12 months earlier a John Peacock and Frances Cooper arrived in Adelaide on the “Duke of Roxburghe” on the 28/7/1838. But I cannot find an Ann as one of their children. BUT that dosent mean they didn’t have an Ann as I have searched the same website and found some children’s names missing from some of my other relatives.
You can check that out here.
Just type in the family name and Mahoney and peacock will come up.

Quite a few people with the name Peacock immigrated to Adelaide but all after 1840 according to my research.
I just hate it when I can’t find an answer lol.
Regards Alan.

Thanks Alan
Seems you have reached the same point as I have.
I did find a passenger list with John Mahoney on it - but that's not necessarily John Patrick - likewise the seaman from the burning of the Hibernian.
Dates aren't always accurate. John M is listed as a seaman based in Launceston prior to 1839. I plan to go into the SA State library as the pre-1840 Holy Trinity records are there - this may give further info.
Its possible that Ann followed JP Mahoney to Adelaide - overland travel was an option from Vic - or she came on a coastal vessel not listed. I've found several wild cards: a Peacock operating local shipping around the Hawkesbury - and having an Ann Drill as a freed convict servant - maybe she took the Peacock name! I'll try to check out the library records & possibly genealogy at Unley soon. I don't have a lot of time at the moment. Hoping someone may have more info!
Thanks - Robin

Awesome..
I wished i lived closer to Adelaide at times like this, I am hoping to take a holiday next year and visit Truro and the surrounding area's like Kapunda and Angaston. Most of my early ancestors are buried there and started in that area. I would be ever so grateful if you could keep me informed it you find anything. I never thought of the convict side even though I have already discovered four convicts in my tree from my mothers side. I haven't found any yet from Dad's side of the tree
