Message posted on ancestry Posted 8 Feb 2013 by Shirley Wright: “ Thank you for posting the King family tree. I have a bit of a skeleton in the closet to share with you regarding Donald King (1812-1886). He also had a daughter to Sarah Perry (1839-1890) in 1859.. her name was Ellen Perry. I have the marine birth certificate for her.. the father listed as Donald King, 40 years old, musician, London. Here's a transcript:-

When born, & latitude & longitude: 8 February Tuesday at 5PM, Latt 30.10S, Long 20.10 E. [1859]

Name: Ellen Perry

Sex: Female

Father's name & surname, rank or profession, age & birthplace: Donald King, Musician, 40 years, London

When & where married: not married

Mother's name & maiden surname, age & birthplace: Sarah Perry, 21 years, Bamborough, Oxfordshire [this should read Ratley, Banbury - a district mainly in Oxfordshire, but includes Warwickshire & Northamptonshire]

Signature, description & former residence of informant: Ellen Grant, nurse, Cumberland

When registered & where: ---

Signature of Captain or Master: Jas Jackson [?]

Name, if added after Registration of Birth: Ellen

I'm guessing Sarah might have been in Donald King's employ when she fell pregnant. Sarah and her sister Zipporah Perry migrated to Australia and found work here as servants. Donald was described as a vocalist and professor of music in the post office directory and census records and his age tallies as well. I'm almost certain he's the right person. There's a photo of Ellen as an older woman on my family tree.. http://www.mundia.com/ca/Person/51503664/13211422714 What is your relationship to Donald? I'm his great-great-great-granddaughter. Best”
