Jones Solden Family England Australia
William Jones married Marry Solden at St Pancras, England in 1841
Any information on this Family would be much appreciated. I am uncertain what become of William Jones in Australia
I can not find a shipping record for this Family, who came to Victoria or South Australia between 1855-1859. It appears that some family members went to Tasmania after 1875. I was told as a child that members of the Solden Family had large land holdings in South Australia, including Kangaroo Island.
Desperate for shipping record and deaths of William. Their marriage certificate states that Mary Soldens Father as James Smith. I think that this is a mistake in Parish Records, as her adress was Smith Street. Ithink it should be James Solden.
Also trying to find information on William Solden's War Service pre 1840

Why does this Family not appear in Shipping Records?
On the Marriage cert of Elizabeth Jones 1876, Father is still listed as Soldier.
I assume that he would be dead by this time.
