I am a decendant of William and hannah Singleton who came to Aus 1792, as Convicts. Have only recently found this town was names after a family member, But wanting to know more about the Singleton family. Is this couple in the Singleton Cemetery? And would like to hear from other Singleton down lines. William had a daughter Hannah, and this is my connection.

Hey,
I am new to the family history thing but I am a descendant of George Benjamin Lloyd, grandson of Benjamin Singleton - the town founder - and great grandson of William and Hannah. I have literally only just begun to research this but probably the most interesting thing I have turned up so far is a copy of the transcript of the trial that sent William to Australia - if you have not got this yet I would be happy to send it on - just let me know.

Hey Margaret,
you'll never guess, I have just been reading and I found out that William is buried in a graveyard at "Glenridding" in the Singleton area - no mention of Hannah though. Apparently the property is accessible from the road and the public is free to enter the graveyard to take photos etc... |

Hi Margaret,
I am doing some research on my 3xgr grandmother Sarah Bellamy and discovered her brother James Zadock Bellamy married Hannah Sinleton, sister to Benjamin Singleton. Hannah was born at Mulgrave Place, not sure where that is. James and Hannah married 1818 at St John's Church Parramatta and had 14 children. Hannah died 1869 and is buried at St Paul's Church of England, Castle Hill. They were farmers.I have names and birth dates of all their children if you are interested, plus alittle history of their lives at Castle Hill.
Regards,
Edna Ellis. |

Hi Margeret,
I am a decendent of William & Hannah Singleton and would very much like some information about my great great great grandfather *Carl R. Heine*. Carl was the son of Mary Ann Russell [Sarah SINGLETON3, Benjamin SINGLETON2, William SINGLETON1] and Charles Robert Heine. Not much is known about him except that he came from Australia in the Wailing ships I think. He came here [Marshall Islands] and setteled. I don't know much about him, but I don't think he went back home [Australia] after that. It is kind of a mystery. Alot of my great/grandparents have names of his brothers, sisters, family members, etc. over here. Names such as, Claude, Constance, Mary, Bourne, etc. are just a few. So, I just want to know if he is a mystery to you, as he is to us? Anyways, I just wanted to ask that question.
I researched this stuffs on the net for our familie's website and found these sites if it would be helpful to anyone here.

I am a descendant of James Bellamy and Hannah Singleton..
I believe it goes down like this:
James Bellamy and Hannah Singleton had a daughter Mary Anne (b.1825 d.1912), who married a man called James Shields (b.1813). They then had a son also called James (b.1845) who married a woman called Maria Mobbs, they had a son called Mark Shields (b.1879 Pennant Hills d.1949) who married Maude Donman. They had a daughter Lily (b.1898 Carlingford d.1981) who married Leonard Shalson, they then had a daughter named Daphne who is my Grandmother. Daphne married Eric Wenban and had a son Eric Jr, my father. We all still live in the Hills area.
Just thought id post it and maybe shed some light for others?

Hi All,
What a great discussion.
My name is Renee Nelson and I am the granddaughter of Roy Graham Shields (g-grandson of James and Mary Ann, through Samuel, then Roy Stanley). I have only found the family two years ago due to my grandparents divorce when my father was very little.
I am extreemly interested in this line of the family and love talking to other relatives about it. I live in Cairns now so I cant get the cemeteries etc but am happy to share any info I have with others.
It seems that there are so many of us that we should try to arrange a get together.
Anyway feel free to email me at any time rennelson@bigpond.com I will get back to you asap I promise.

I am seeking information on the descendants of Sarah Singleton (daughter of Benjamin Singleton and Mary Jane Sharling) and Bourn Russell. After Sarah's death in 1852, what happened to their chldren? Bourn remarried in 1856 and went to Eden as harbour master in 1860, but it seems none of the children went with him.
My interest stems from the fact that I am descended from Bourn Russell's youngest brother, Frank.

Hello Cousin Helen,
I am starting to look at the History of William Singleton pre Australian Arrival. Will share what I find out. On the Family Singleton Crest it has ties to the messengers (heralding) and military to the Crown and have the sign they were efficient, had speed of flight, so could have been archers. They had land and were lords of the manor of Singleton Hall. Usually with family crests relate to what the family achieved back at the time.I already have a little of the history from the coat of arms info, that I am willing to share. But hope to have more of the story of the Singleton family.
What is important about the acheivements of the past those come through the blood line and become ingrained in the family throughout the generations. They were land holders in England and then Australia and other places.
It is really quite interesting. |

I have some links to but the message won't allow for me to write them.
The original Singleton home, which is now called Chingle House and there is a photo of it. It is one of the most haunted houses in England.
Built by Sir Adam de Singleton in 1260, he was a knight.The house can be found in Wikepedia, but also there is another site that has a good picture of the house.
Found also a geneology site for the Singletons in UK at genforum.
If u would like the links please email me,
there is a lot of information at the forum, for pre Australian History there. And there is a connection there to the Singletons in USA region as well. And also connection to our relatives in UK and the history after William and Hanah moved to Australia.
What an interesting family we have.

Hi Joanna,
I am decsended from william & Hannah, then their daughter,Hannah,& this is the first I have heard anything about Hannah's death. Do you have any verification of this & if so, are you willing to share? I'll try & copy some info on Joseph for you.
Joseph was brought before the bench of magistrates & charged with having in his possession, 1 gallon of spirits, distilled in the Colony & with having distilled the same. He pleaded guilty & because of his youth & having given up the apparatus when demanded, the bench unanimously recommended his case to the clemency of the Governor (Sydney Gazette 24.4.1813).
Joseph opened the Cross Keys Inn on 21st April 1840
Children are:Frederick,1830. Elijah 25/09/1831. James 1833. Annabella 1837. Alfred 22/03/1842

Message to Patricia Bannerman. Hi - I'm a direct decendant of Murtagh & Elizabeth via my grandfather, Belmore Shields b. 1874 - son of James Shields b.1845 & Maria Mobbs b. 1849. You mentioned some of your ancestors being named after flowers...well, my mother,Ruby Gladys Drew (nee Shields b.1894, mentioned this in one of her stories about her family! Re your trip to Ireland. I would be extremely interested to learn the results of your investigation. I managed to find (via the internet) some information - however, I'm not sure if it is correct. Murtagh could have been from County Leix/Laois (aka Queens County) which is just North from Kilkenny where he was convicted. |

Mary was born Mary Jane Sharling. I am researching both the Singleton

I was originally given information that my family were decended from Zadock Bellamy.This turned out to be wrong.This is the correct linage
William Bellamy and Ann Faye
James Bellamy and Hannah Singleton
James Bellamy and Esther Williamson
James Bellamy and Annie Cooke
I am still looking for information on Annie so far all I have are her parents William Cooke occupation sea captain and Mary Jane Hinde.Do these names mean anything to anyone?

William Singleton was charged at the Old Bailey in London on 8 Jun 1791 with feloniously stealing 27 yards of calico. His court proceedings can be viewed on the Old Bailey website wwwoldbaileyonlineorg
He was transported to Australia for 7 years, arriving on the Pitt on 14 Feb 1792. His wife Hannah and 2 sons came free on the same ship. she was not a convict, and was one of 7 free women on board.
Hannah Parkinson was the daughter of William Parkinson and Mary Thorpe from Manchester, Lancashire, England, a descendant of John Parkinson, born 1585. Hannah's ancestors on both lines back several generations are on several family trees on ancestrycouk website and the wwwrootswebcom website [insert full stops].
She died on 19 Aug 1813 at Wilberforce, NSW.
I am descended through their daughter Sarah Maria Singleton, who married Thomas Siberry, and their son Joseph Sibraa and Esther Lord.
Has anyone been able to find out anything about William Singleton's parents?
Regards

I have been doing a lot of research on the Sonter Family, who are related by blood or marriage to Bowerman, Randell, Martin, SHields, Mobbs, Midson, Ray and many other families in the Parramatta area. Many of these families are directly related to Afro-American convicts from the first fleet and later. |

Hi Singleton Family members.
I have very recently discovered that my son is the 6th Great Grandson of William Singleton and Hannah Parkinson. He is descended down the Hibbert, Gardner and Kannar line. Brendan's great great grandmother was Doris Irene Kannar.
I am very envious of all his convict ancestors, as I have none. Yesterday we ordered the convict pardons for Joseph Hibbert and John Gardner from the NSW Records Office.
Does anyone know if William Singleton had a ticket of leave or pardon?
I would like to thank all the Singleton Family members who have shared their family trees on the web and ancestory.com.au - Thank You. You have helped me find so much information - but I still like to thoroughly search the NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages registry office to verify the dates etc.
I would love copies of any photographs of the above families - am happy to pay.
I am also happy to pass on any information that I have, although as a newcomer, I may not have much to offer.
Kind regards
Michelle Witheyman-Crump |

My name is Russell Edwards, I am also a descendant of Sarah Singleton and Bourn Russell who had a daughter named Mary Ann Russell who was married to Charles Robert Heine. Through this union one of their sons whose name was Carl R. Heine who came to the Marshall Islands on a whaling ship from Australia working for Burns Philip Co. He married to Marshall wife and was converted to the christian faith and later on became a missionary under the American Board for Foreigh Mission. He had 2 sons and 7 daughters. I am one of his grandsons. I guess I am wondering has anybody outthere knows about Rev. Carl R. Heine.
Truly,
Russell Edwards, Marshall Islands |

An article in the Sydney Daily Mirror, some years ago told the story of Ben Singleton, son of William. It was titled "Son of Lag Blazes Trail to Hunter Valley". He led an expedition in theory led by John Howe and received a land grant where Singleton now stands. My grandmother Elsie Maud Lloyd was the direct descendent and remembered her great grannie, Mary Singleton. |

My name is Samuel Charles Hodgkinson (b. 1975) and I am a direct descendant of James Zadock and Hannah Bellamy on my mother's side, which makes me an 8th generation Australian.
My particular family line branched off when Jane Bellamy (b. 1871, daughter of James Bellamy and Esther Williamson) married Henry William Healey, originally of Buckinghamshire (b. 1867) in 1892.
His daughter Eva Jessie Healey (my maternal grandmother, b. 1900) grew up in Beecroft, Sydney with about 9 other siblings and she married a man by the name of William Henry Piper (b. 1890) (not the Pipers of Point Piper, however) in Sydney and moved to the Central Coast in the 1920s where most of my mother's extended family now live.
My mother married a Hodgkinson (free settlers, mid-19thC from Northern England). Not sure if I'm related to either Clement or William Oswald, if at all.
My father's family worked cattle in both Queensland and NSW, and were (and still are to some degree) based in the Northern Rivers district of NSW around Bellingen and Glen Innes.
If someone would like to get in touch for research purposes, I'm more than happy to correspond.

Hi Jade
There are quite a few from this bloodline in St Paul's. Unfortunately I haven't been able to locate St Paul's in Parramatta.
I have only tried once though. I have managed to locate Mary Butler's grave with John Butler's FF plaque, Ann Toy (technically isn't one of us, but more like a step mom), and Alice Bowerman (my GG Grandmother)
If anyone wants information on the Bowerman bloodline, I am happy to assist with what I have (inc photos) |

Hi all,
just an update from my previous information. i know some of you have contacted me in the past so this is a good way to advise of anything i have found.
I have recently purchased a copy of the Hornsby Pioneers which has quite a bit on the shields, bellamys and singleton families. It is out of print and I was very lucky to purchase a copy second hand from the Hornsby Family History Society but it was well worth it.
I would suggest anyone interested look for it in their local library.
As usual if anyone wants to contact me I am on renee_nel@hotmail.com

My father John de Boos was born in April 1908 to Ida Mary De Boos. His father is not mentioned on the birth certificate. I found he had a brother Walter born in 1906 also without a father's name on his birth certificate.Unfortunately neither knew about the other. Ida didn't marry until she was 68. My father was raised as John Nelson and his brother as Walter Gosbee. She gave them both away though neither were officially adopted by their respective families. Ida is the daughter of Henry de Boos and Mariah Singleton. I would really like to meet family of Ida. Are you out there? |
