Thread: faulkner family

hi, i am in tasmania australia, i am looking up some lines in my family tree, one at the moment i am particular interested in is, john faulkner born 1742 his father is William so would like info on william i think william was married to hannah, as im pretty sure i found johns christening info and it states father william and mother hannah.
also trying to find info on eudorah cotton who married george faulkner here in tasmania, i cant find her birth, her parents or sibblings, how ever there was a rufus cotton who signed her marriage cert as witness. her married was 1870

any help is gratefully appreciated.
thanx

Hallo donnaling and welcome.
Can you tell us what place your ancestors came from?

hi i have william faulkner as father of john faulkner who was christened in westminster london 1742 so william may have come from that area. although i have the faulkner family at later dates leaving steeple the church paid their passage to tasmania australia.
eudorah cotton, also know as dorah and dora cotton, faulkner. only have her marriage in tasmania, and death in tasmania she may have a brother rufus cotton as he signed her marriage certificate.

cheers
donna

donnaling,
Is there more information on the marriage cert. Does it give's bride's age and name of her father and his occupation?
And the groom's father's name and his occupation?
If Rufus Cotton was present at her marriage then he must have migrated from England also.

thru further looking and other family help found rufus cotton was born in tasmania have his birth, and his parents, but he had other sibblings none were named eudorah, dorah, dora. so unless her birth cert didnt have her name just a F cause i found a birth cert with rufus parents and a birth cert with the letter F.

yes thats them, i have had that info for a while but it still doesnt tell me dorah's parents or sibblings or where she was born.

do you have rufus marriage - who were his witnesses
