"DW" ?), born Bucks Eng, died 12/1/1878 Hindmarsh SA. Arr "Sir Charles Forbes". Spouse
Phoebe Atkinson, (parents Charles & Deborah), born 27/11/1808 Ipswich, died

26/3/1829 - Berrington Paine, husb of
Charlotte Atkinson's (recently decd) sister Lydia, writes a long `missionary'
letter to Charlotte "care of Rev C Atkinson, Ipswich Suffolk" from

1830 - Revd Atkinson died of paralytic
stroke and Wm Notcutt became minister of Tacket St Ind. [r]
7/2/1832 - A Joseph Aston married a Phoebe
Atkinson in Ipswich. [s]
This is arguably Charlotte's sister Phebe (bapt 1808, here aged 24?),
and that this Joseph Aston is the Joseph Aston who Charlotte Fayers (the
daughter) came to SA with in 1849.
Aston is not a common name in the Ipswich area, or in Suffolk. (Its big in Shropshire).
