Her mother and father were Emma darling singleton and Alfred Ernest Singleton Emma's mother and father were Elizabeth cook and John Henry cook is Elizabeth's mother and father were Mary Ann Roberts born 1792 in the colony free with unknown parents and Richard Lewis superintendent and overseer of the first colony on the central western plains NSW and then the founding family of Mudgee nsw naming the town from a aboriginal word meaning nest in the hills selling the first allotment to James Blackman who built the first shop beside the deep water hole on the Cudgegong river
thank you for this as I often wondered what happened to Elizabeth Lewis my relative was Louisa Lewis she married James Smith they lived in Wellington but they both died in 1851, their daughter Louisa married Bernard Naughton in 1868 they had 11 children and lived in Gulgong owned a few hotels and shops in Gulgong. My grandmother married their son Edgar Charles Naughton they had 5 children my mother was their second child Eileen born in 1910. thanking you Jill Malin.
Checked marriage and death certificate Elizabeth E Lewis married Jacob Foster in 1843 on that certificate her parents names were Richard Lewis and Mary Ann Lewis nee Roberts her death certificate was the same Elizabeth E Foster her parents the same so I think steveprior your Elizabeth is not the same one as mine.
Hi, Mary Ann Roberts is my GGGGG Grandmother, I am also descendant from their daughter Louisa who married James Smith, Next in my lineage comes their son James (I have a photo of him) who married Martha scullion, their daughter Ellen Martha Matilda (I have photos of her) who married George Bradford who married Stella Marie Hutchinson, Their daughter Esme Marie was my grandmother. Not sure if you know, But Lewisa Smith nee lewis committed suicide on the 14th of June 1851 and according to an article in the Bathurst free press and mining journal dated 25 June 1851 page 3 the inquest was held on the 15th of June 1851. It's quite sad, and it was my GGG Grandfather james who found her body in the river, he would have been about 17 years old at the time. http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/page/6171983?searchTerm=%22smith%22&searchLimits=exactPhrase=smith|||l-category=Family+Notices|||dateTo|||notWords|||anyWords|||dateFrom=1851-6-24|||requestHandler|||sortby=dateAsc
steveprior, have you checked the death and marriage certificates for your Elizabeth Cook? It seems you are not even related to mary roberts or her daughter Elizabeth Lewis.
Left out the george bradford and ellen martha matilda Smith's son William married Stella marie Hutchinson. Sorry :)^^^
thank you very much for this information some of it I did not know how sad Louisa commited suicide, I have a friend Kirsty who was a relation of James her son she will also be surprised to know this.
