Hi, welcome to the genealogical web site of Ray Lane.
This site deals with the history of the many branches of our family, before and after their arrival in Australia and includes details on Edward Whitton, who arrived from England as a convict with the First Fleet in 1788, to Michael Lane, the first of our immediate Lane family to arrive from Ireland in 1861.
It has always been said that my mother's side of our family was very puritanical and staid being Church of England and that my father's side, being Irish, were as wild as paddy's pigs.
In many ways my mother's side of the family is more interesting due to the number of transported convicts in the family and the claim that we can make that we are descended from a First Fleet Convict who was sentenced to death in England - Edward Whitton and his partner Ann Slater who arrived on the Third Fleet.
Their child Mary Whitton married Richard Barnes who was also a Convict.
