I recently established contact with a 93YO lady in Adelaide, South Australia, (a cousin of my late paternal grandmother) who is a great grand-daughter of William Wincey (Isle of Wight) and Frances Eleanor Faulkner (Tortola BVI)! Through her family records it appears that Frances Eleanor was one of seven children of John Faulkner (1770-1815) and Mary Rymer??? (died 1805) who were married in 1790.by Phillip S Bate - British Virgian Islands General Queries
An Australian journalist, I am a direct descendant of Frances Eleanor Faulkner who was born on Tortola Island on May 1, 1800 and died in South Australia on january 7, 1887. Family history indicates her father was a cotton planter and her grandfather a sugar grower. As a girl, her parents then moved to Agenada where she remained up to womanhood. In 1822 she joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church aby Phillip S Bate - British Virgian Islands General Queries
