Francis, who was a gardener, and his wife Rosina (nee Manuel) came to Australia in June 1853 to join Francis’ brother John Jenkin.
Francis was living at Summer Hill when son William was born in 1857. His youngest daughter Susannah was born in 1865.
Francis died before Rosina who died in Orange in 1908.
John, his son Francis and grandsons worked as miners at Cadia.
I have no evidence that Francis did the same.
John’s grandsons George and Samuel Jenkin married Francis and Rosina’s daughters Elizabeth and Susannah. Another daughter Mary Louisa married Adolphus Judd.
Many of their descendants went from Cadia to Port Kembla.
