Should read Jacob Lyons. Close inspection of the register confirms this as does his headstone.

Hello Kathleen,

Welcome to the Urch family.

George was born in Kewstoke nr Weston Super Mare and baptised on 6th July 1834 at St Martins Parish Church in Worle. He married Eliza Norris on 31st March 1854 at Emanuel PC al. Our records verify your data wrt their arrival in Australia and the number of children.

George's parents were Edward and Mary (nee Wallice), married 1st April 1824 at St Martins, Worle and they had 7 children (including George). They lived in Kewstoke and their children were baptised in both Kewstoke pc and St Martins pc in Worle. The children were:

Sarah (bpt 1826), Mary Ann (bpt 1828), Edward (bpt 1832), George (bpt 1834 as above), William (bpt 1837), William (bpt 1840) and John (bpt 1843). We have the dates for all baptisms if required.

Edward who married Mary Wallice, his parents were Edward Urch (born 20th July 1760 in Chilton Polden) and Sarah (nee Talbertt) from Chedzoy. They married on 26th Nov 1781 at St Mary the Virgin, Chedzoy. Edward and Sarah had 8 children, they were:

Joseph 1782, Betty 1784, Joseph 1786, Sarah 1788, Edward 1791, John 1795, Edward 1797 (as above) and we believe William 1799.

Edward (born 20th July 1760) was the eldest child of Edward and Margaret (nee Collings) of Chilton Polden. Edward and Margaret are believed to have had a total of 5 children; Edward (as above), James 1764, Edith 1768, Betty 1770 and Joseph 1772.

Trust that this helps. We recognise how difficult it is for you to obtain informatiuon from the UK, we have similar problems with Australia !

We have been searching for Caroline Urch, who arrived in Melbourne, Austrailia in January 1854. She also had a sister Sarah that arrived in Australia 2 years before who we have traced but Caroline is a mystery to us: perhaps you can help?

Best wishes and happy New Year,

Keith and Sue Urch - Gloucestershire
