     Jemima Parker married William Clinton, son of John? Clinton and Mary UnknownSurname, on 30 Dec 1810 at St Alphage, London Wall, LND, ENG.6,7

     Jemima Parker and Tara are related as Tara is the direct maternal ancestor of Lorna, proven by a mitochondrial DNA test. Lorna's proven maternal ancestral line goes: Lorna (NZ), Alice Henderson nee Andrews (NZ); Honor Andrews nee Rowe (NZ); Emma Rowe nee Austin (Australia to NZ); Emma Gibson/Austin nee Clinton (London to Australia to NZ); Jemima Clinton nee Parker (Essex to London to Australia to NZ) with a further possible generation to Charlotte Parker nee Parkinson (Essex) and an awful lot more women who will obviously remain completely undocumented back from the 1760s to 15000 BC.
I see that Oxford Ancestors has one, and only one, direct match for my mDNA on their database although there are many other Tara descendants, including a lady in Auckland whose forbears lived in Essex and moved to London, just like mine, about the same time. Unfortunately, the direct match one hasn't chosen to share her contact details.11,12
     The census of 1851 showed Jemima, with her son Henry, at 31 Rose St, Dist of Long acre, St Martin in the Fields, MDX, ENG, enumerated as CLINTON: Jemima, 61 widow; Son Henry 20, orris (?) weaver's apprentice, both b Westminster, MDX.4
     Jemima Clinton left from Plymouth, England 2 May 1853 on the 'Roxburgh Castle' to Port Phillip arriving Melbourne in Jul 1853 as a 3rd class cabin passenger, with son Henry (miner aged 22). On same voyage were daughter Emma (Austin, wife aged 25) and son-in-law William Austin (miner aged 24).5
