| The following is a summary of information found on the Lane family of Goodrich, Herefordshire, England, and of New South Wales, Australia. More information is held is relation to the Australian members of the Lane generations and it is hoped to add that information to this web site over the next few years.
For earlier generations regarding the Woor connection please click on the link below Benjamin Lane Baptised see below Buried 14 November 1784, Goodrich Married 10 February 1766, to Elizabeth Woor, Goodrich, died 26 December 1802, Goodrich Children Nell, baptised 20 September 1766, Goodrich William, baptised 28 February 1768, Goodrich, see below Betty, baptised 30 September 1770, Goodrich Henry, baptised 13 December 1772, Goodrich Thomas, baptised 19 January 1777, Goodrich In relation to Benjamin, there are two baptisms, one of which may be correct. Both are recorded in the adjoining parish of Walford - 28 February 1731, Benjamin son of Richard and Mary Lane, and 26 April 1736, Benjamin son of Arthur and Catharine Lane. William Lane - Bargeman Baptised 28 February 1768, Goodrich, Herefordshire, England Died 16 May 1808, Goodrich, aged 41 years Married to Ann Jones (second cousin), possibly on 22 April 1790 at St Peters, Hereford, Herefordshire, England Children Thomas, baptised 31 March 1793, died April 1793 aged 3 weeks, Goodrich, William, baptised 27 May 1796, Goodrich, see below John baptised 29 Nov or Dec 1798, Goodrich Elizabeth baptised 28 February 1802, Goodrich James born about 1804, see below Ann, baptised 30 November 1806, Goodrich Benjamin, baptised 15 November 1807, Goodrich Widow Ann Lane (nee Jones) then married widower Thomas Jellamy on 5 May 1812 at Goodrich Church. They had at least one child Ann baptised on 14 November 1814, at Goodrich. Thomas was described as a labourer living at Copped Wood. The 1841 Census of England and Wales reveals that Thomas aged 75 years, an agricultural labourer, his wife Ann aged 65 years, were living at Goodrich and both had been born in Herefordshire. (Note ages were rounded down to the closest five years). Thomas died on 16 January 1845, aged 79 years and Ann died on 27 June 1847 aged 79 years, both at Goodrich. I thank Gillian Kendrigan of Canberra for her research of the Goodrich Parish Registers on microfilm. The above information extracted from the parish registers and Bishop's Transcripts for Goodrich Church and from Thomas and William Lane’s headstone in the Goodrich Church Cemetery. William Lane - Soldier To see the story of William and Sarah Lane please click on the link below. Baptised 27 May 1796, Goodrich, Herefordshire, England Married February 1820, to Sarah Boyd(e), Dublin, Ireland Died 3 February 1863, Windsor, NSW Children William, born 1820/21 James, born 1822/23, Dublin, Ireland Elizabeth, born 1825/26, prior to leaving UK John, born, 12 July 1830, Sydney, NSW, see below Benjamin, born 1831/32, Sydney, NSW Thomas, born 5 July 1835, Sydney, NSW Two other children James Lane One of the most interesting discoveries found when searching the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser on the National Library of Australia beta web site, was the following. Page 2 - Inquest - “On Thursday last, at Gaynor’s Tavern, on the body of a man named James Lane, a bullock driver in the employ of Sir John Jamison, and brother to Sergeant Lane of the Mounted Police. Verdict - Died of mortification induced by a wound from the horns of a bullock.” The burial entry in the register of the Parish of St James, Sydney, reveals that James Lane, aged 36 years, of Castlereagh Street, died on 10 June 1840, and the burial was performed by Rev W H Walsh on 12 June 1840 ( Ref Vol 24A, No 162). A search for the arrival of James in Sydney was unsuccessful, and it is not known if he was married and had children. Although this is unlikely as there was no mention of a wife or children in the newspaper report.. Sir John Jamison was a leading settler in NSW, with his main residence and properties near Penrith. It is possible that James was working outside of Sydney when injured, and was brought to Sydney for treatment. It was common for an inquest hearing to be held at an inn. In this case Gaynor’s Tavern was in Hunter Street, Sydney. It is likely that the burial took place in the Sydney Burial Ground at Devonshire Street.
