My niece's Cummins ancestors appear also to have originated in Halverstoke in the county of Hampshire in England.  

During my brief research into this family, I have only located the parents of 4x great grand parents at this stage.

If you think you may be connected to this family, I would love to hear from you via email. In the near future, I will be adding pages which deal with the connecting families.

Michael married Susannah Hunt in Halverstoke, Hampshire in 1824. To date I have located only 1 child for them, and know nothing of their lives.

Their daughter was:-

Susan arrived in SA with her parents before 1849, but I am yet to locate their actual arrival details.

In December 1849 she married William Lavington at St Paul's Church in Adelaide. He was the son of John and Jane Lavington. They had 7 children.

Their children were:-

Rosannah married William Henry Jackson in the Presbyterian Church at Pt Adelaide in 1872. He was born in 1850 at Portland Estate, the son of William Henry Jackson and Mary Solly. They had 11 children. I don't know what prompted her move from South Australia to Victoria, but at some point she did, and died there at 120 Noone Street, Clifton Hill in 1915 at the age of 63. I have yet to locate any further details of her life or that of her husband.

Their children were:-
