My line of WESTON's originate from the village of Kingsley, parish of Frodsham,
Cheshire, England. Although WESTON's date back to at least the mid 1500's for
this village, there are 'missing links' that only allow me to have a direct line
to the early 1700's.

I live in Australia and this is the information I have......
My great grandfather's name was Francis Charles Weston, his wife was Eliza
(nee Chiverton).He was a thatcher by trade. My grandparents names were Francis
Charles Weston and Ada Adelaide (nee Young). My grandfather was born in 1885,
Married in 1906 at St Stephens church Wickham, Hampshire, England and died in
1936 in Sydney Australia. My grandparents came from England in 1920, leaving
from Portsmouth with my 2 uncles and
aunt. My father, born in Australia in 1921, died in 1998. He was the last of his
family and had little interest in tracing the family in England. When his
parents came to Australia, they brought with them no photos etc., I suppose
space on board ship with three children was limited. My father was one of 4
children, Reginald, Arthur, Florence and himself, Sydney. He was led to believe
his father was one of a large family but there was no communication that he
could remember between England and Australia. My grandfather died of burst
appendix when my father was only 15. I believe my grandfather's family lived in
Bishops Waltham, England.
I hope this information can be of benefit. I look forward to hearing from anyone
with information on this family.

Catherine Weston born about 1822 at the age of 19 married James Bungate on 21/11/1841 in the Chapel of South Marston in the County of Wiltshire. John Weston, a Soldier living in the small town of South Marston is nominated as the father of Catherine Weston. Mary Ann Weston is a witness to the marriage.
James & Catherine Bungate emigrated to Nelson, New Zealand & arrived on the "Prince of Wales" on 31/12/1842. Catherine's first son Henry Bungate was born in Sydney on 22/5/1846. Catherine & son Henry returned to Sydney from Nelson on 22/3/1848 prior to the birth of her second son James on 9/9/1848. Catherine's third son Linus was born about 1852. James Bungate was admitted to Parramatta Orphan School on 16/5/1852 at age 4 & left on 30/1/1863 with a note that father is dead & mother has returned to England
I hope that this information may be of benefit to a Weston. I look forward to hearing from anyone with information on this family & Catherine Bungate's return to England.

I am descended from George Gibson Weston linen draper born 1797 in Newick Sussex and Mary Ann Tuckwell born 1811 in Ireland. There is a list of the proven relatives at the URL given above. I am working on several links in Sussex, Kent and London but these are still at an early stage of research.
