John Skinner (born abt 1812) married Sarah Jane Smith, (born abt 1816) on 12 Oct 1834 in Halstead Kent.
They made application for free passage dated 5 Feb 1840 no 6949 embarkation number 4208 (agents E H WARRINER) John described as agricultural labourer. They emigrated with their 2 children to Australia on the 'Orleana' from London 29 - 02 1840 via The Downs.
Details I have about children of John Skinner and Sarah Jane Smith -
Son John's baptism on 5 Jan 1837 appears in the Orpington parish registers (abode marked at Orpington), and daughter Sarah Elizabeth's baptism on 21 April 1839 in Chislehurst (abode marked as Foots Cray).
Sarah's birth appears in the GRO index in the June quarter of 1839, district Bromley, volume 5, page 38. I am looking for any info at all about them before they came to Australia. This is my BIG brickwall!!!!
