Today I’ve written about my 3rd great grandparents, George Marriott Sr and Jane Williams. George’s parents were both born in England, George could have been born there too, it has been difficult trying to locate his birth certificate, however somewhere on Ancestry it is stated he was born in Natal South Africa? He could have just been born in Victoria, Australia?Again, I’m unable to confirm this. The year of George’s birth being approximately 1852. Jane’s parents were also both born in England, however Jane was born on the 14th of July 1852 in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia.

George and Jane got married in 1873 in Victoria, Australia. George worked as a plasterer. They would have 9 children together: George, Hannah Elizabeth Jane, James, Thomas Charles, Walter Edward, Emily Jane, Henry Ernest, Arthur and Eva Ann Marriott. Their first child, George Marriott Jr, being born in 1874, a year after their marriage.

Jane was one of 9 children. Her parents, Hannah Stickler (1828-1893) and Thomas Samuel Williams (1805-1878). She was the second born child of the family. Her siblings were: Ann, Elizabeth, Henry Thomas, Frank, Oliver Samuel, Walter, Thomas Henry and George James.

Electoral rolls dated from back in 1916 show Jane residing in Malvern at 7 Barkly Ave, Malvern, Victoria, Australia. Her occupation being home duties. This would have been the family home I presume for their six sons and three daughters.
