Descendants of John Warland of Dorset from 1808 - links to Australia and South Africa

John Warland (1785 - ) was the son of Robert Warland (1759 - 1821) and Sarah (nee Stickland) of Dorset. He married Ann Stiles (possibly 1790 - possibly 1856) on 18 May 1807. John and Ann Warland had had the following children:

Charles Warland (18 May 1808 in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, UK - 17 March 1855 in Hoxton, Middlesex). See below for further information.
Eliza Warland (11 March 1810 - 1873, St George Sydney, Australia (NSW BDM 2705/1873). Clck on link for more information.
Mary Ann Warland (2 or 15 March 1812 - 1847), married John Fisher ( - 1843). Had children who were then brought up by her brother Edward and his wife - see below. For further details about the New Zealand connections, click on the link.
Edward Warland (19 February 1815 in Wimborne Minster, UK - 1855 (or 1885?)). See below for further information.
Henry Warland (19 November 1817 in UK - 26 January 1878 in Melbourne). Click on link for further details.
Jane Warland (24 October 1821 - ?). See below for futher information.
Emily Warland (baptised 29 December 1824 at Wimborne Minster - ?). No other details are known.

John Warland may have died before 1841 (or been away from England) as neither he nor his family is clearly identifiable in the 1841 census. The 1851 census has a Henry Warland (born 1820) in Middlesex with a relation of Sarah (born 1824); this may be Henry Warland (born 1817) who married Sarah Watts in 1847 in Northampton and migrated to Melbourne, Australia around 1855, following his sister Eliza Warland who had married Thomas Harris in Hartwell in 1831 and left for New South Wales (Australia) in 1843. There may be a link with other Warlands in Middlesex listed below.

An interesting fact about this family is that all the children appear to have died relatively young. A clue to this may be in Eliza's death notice that states she died after 'a short and painful illness'. Did a medical problem run in this family?

Children of John and Ann Warland (without links)

Charles Warland (1808 - 1855) married Mary Jane Ortell (1811 - 1856 in Hackney, London) on 14 February 1835 in Clerkenwell, London. Charles and Mary Warland had the following children:

Emily Warland (1836 - ?). This person can not yet be positively identified as one of their children.
Charles John Warland (28 May 1838, Shoreditch, London, England - 1902). For more information about Charles, see below.
Mary Ann Warland (January 1840, Shoreditch, London, England - ?).
Edward Warland (1843, Shoreditch, London, England, probably same as Edward Henry Warland (14 August 1842 - ?)
George Warland (1844, St Luke, London, England - ?)
Charlotte Sarah Warland (1846, St Luke, London, England - ?)

There appear to be two Charles Warlands in Middlesex in the 1841 census, both born in 1811 (which makes it unlikely it is this Charles unless the year is incorrect). One is a porter, the other a clerk. A Mary Warland (born 1811) is also recorded in Middlesex in the 1841 census, along with a Charles Warland (born 1838).

Charles Warland does not appear in the 1851 census. His wife Mary Warland is also not clearly identifiable. A Mary Ann Warland, aged 12, and living in Middlesex, may be the same person as the Mary Ann Warland above. A Charlotte Warland, aged 6, also in Middlesex may be her sister. The other children are not obviously recorded.

Charles Warland (born 1808) died in 1855. His wife Mary Warland died in 1856 when her youngest daughter was only 10. It is not clear what happened to the children after this date but their older brother Charles Warland married Georgina Stannard in 1856 - see below for further details. Perhaps he helped to look after the children.

Edward Warland is recorded in the 1861 census in Middlesex. Neither George Warland nor his sister Charlotte is clearly identifiable. Both Edward Warland, aged 29, and his sister Charlotte Sarah Warland, aged 25, appear in the 1871 census in London. Neither appears in the 1881 or 1891 census. Perhaps Charlotte Sarah Warland does not appear as she may be the person with the same name who married either Edward Thomas Green or Edmund Martin Southwell in Brighton in 1885.

Edward Warland (19 February 1815 in Wimborne Minster - 1855/1885). It is understood that Edward took responsibility for the young children of his sister Mary Ann Fisher (nee Warland) after her husband died in 1843 and then she died in 1847.

Edward Warland married Mary Cutler (6 March 1817 in Holborn, London, UK - ?) in 1848 at St. Pancras, London, England. They had two children:

Alfred Warland (9 October 1849, Hoxton, Middlesex, UK - 1922). Click link for further information.
Sarah Ann Warland (25 May 1856, Hoxton, Middlesex, UK - 18 November 1927, Natal, South Africa).

Edward and Mary Warland are listed in the 1851 census in Middlesex, along with their son Alfred Warland (therefore, Edward cannot have died in 1855). The family is listed in the 1861 census in Middlesex.

Sarah Ann Warland (1856 - 1927) lived at her parent's house in Camberwell, Surrey, UK until they died. She is recorded in the 1891 census as a bookkeeper. In the 1901 census, Sarah Ann is still in Campberwell. After 1901 she emigrated to Durban, South Africa.

Charles John Warland (28 May 1838, Hoxton, Middlesex, UK - 1902) married Georgina Emma Stannard (1839 - 1883) on 30 June 1856 in Shoreditch, London, UK. Charles and Georgiana Warland and their daughter Mary Ann Warland Warland appear in the 1861 census in Middlesex. Charles and Georgiana Warland had the following children:

Mary Ann Warland (1859 in Clerkenwell, London, UK - ?). Recorded in 1861 census in Middlesex. Recorded in 1871 census in London.
Charles Stuart Warland (1865 in Clerkenwell, London, UK - Islington, London, UK). Not recorded in 1871 census.
Jessie Warland (1867 in Clerkenwell, London, UK - ?). Recorded in 1871 census in London.
Amy Gertrude Warland (1869 in Islington, London, UK - ?). Not recorded in 1871 census.
Charlotte Amelia Warland (1871 in Islington, London, UK - ?). Not recorded in 1871 census.
Alfred Henry Warland (27 September 1873 in Islington, London, UK - 1940 in Edmonton, London)

Charles' son, Alfred Henry Warland (1873 - 1940) married Edith Grimes (29 August 1877 in Middlesex - 1937 in Hackney, London, UK), on 20 January 1904 in Hackney, London, UK. They had the following children:

Constance Marion Warland, married George Stansell in 1938
Charles Warland (21 June 1904 - March 1981 in Hendon, Middlesex, UK), married (fnu) Atholl
Arthur William Warland (1906 - June 1958 in Stoke Newington, London, UK), married Molly Kelly in 1938
Leonard George Warland (3 April 1908 - February 1982 in Bournemouth, Hampshire, UK), married Alice Cracknell in 1936
Edward Victor Warland (1913 - 1931) in Stoke Newington, London, UK
Alfred Edward Warland (1 January 1913 in Stoke Newington, London, UK - 30 December 1976 in Edmonton, London), married Sarah Louise Annie Smithyes (6 September 1911 in Stoke Newington, London, UK - ?) on 12 September 1936 in Wood Green, London, UK

Jane Warland (1821 - ?) married (possibly either John Garrett or John Clark in 1839 in Northampton, Northamptonshire). It is understood that they had the following children but as the surnames Garrett and Clark are common it is not possible to confirm the details yet:

Alfred
Jean
Ellen
Walter
John

Alfred is believed to have had two children, Walter and Alice. Ellen may have had the following children: Elsie, Walter, ?, ?, ?, John, ?. The surnames of these children are not yet known.
