DUCKRELL William Jones

Notes:

William Duckrell my 2x great grandfather was a bigamist as he already had a wife in England when he "married" Elvina. He took his middle name after arriving in USA as he was not baptised with it. He married Esther Greville in 1843 at Christchurch CE Spitalfields, now in London. They had six children. One died but when he went to USA his children were put in a workhouse and his wife went in service as a child nurse. Before going to USA he had a goldsmith shop in Bath, Somerset and lived in an affluent area of Bath. He was born in Hackney(now part of London) and lived his early years in the east end of London. He had three sisters all of which emigrated to Australia along with his mother after his father, Robert, died in 1833.
