As I am new at genealogy I am not sure as to the correct way to go about
this submission.

I live in South Africa, my great-grandfather having arrived here in 1860
from England. Apparently he was supposed to go on to Australia to meet up
with two brothers who were there but did not have enough money to continue
the journey with his family.

Below is a list of my direct ancestors beginning with my great-grandfather.

I wonder whether anyone can link into this list somewhere along the line?

There was a William Coventry (1817-1847) who married Elizabeth Coventry
(1822-????) on 12 April 1865 at Laancoorie, Australia. This William Coventry
is related back to Samuel Coventry and Ann Isaac in my ancestry.

Regards

John Coventry
