I am descended from Jabez Rankins brother Eli Rankin. Jabez is listed in
1851, living with James & Mary Ann King at 9 Bradford Street, Braintree. It
is believed that he learnt his trade from an Uncle, perhaps James? Jabez is
the son of Samuel & Sarah (nee Warren) Rankin who came to Australia with
most of their children on the Barque, Isle of Skye, which Sailed from London
on the 27/07/1852 arriving in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, on the
12/12/1852. Jabez would have been about 20yrs when the rest of the family
arrived in Australia. His son Augustus, a Brewer, was still in England in
1881; but travelled to Australia later.
Jabez Rankins wife Emma is almost certainly Emma Clarke; and he is listed
on FBMD: Q/E March 1903, aged 71 years in District of Braintree, Vol 4a,
Page 441.
I would be interested in further communication with anyone else interested
in this family. *
