  Family	John Whimpey,   b. 1817,   d. 23 Oct 1895, West Street, Brompton Park, South Australia, Australia  (Age 78 years)
  Married	10 Jun 1839	Llanfoist, Monmouthshire, Wales   [4, 5]
  	The marriage certificate shows they were married in the Parish of Lanfoist - this was probably Llanfoist, as Llanfoist is near Abergavenny, which is the district the marriage was registered in. They were married by William Jones, curate (any relation I wonder?), and the witnesses were Philip Powell and Elizabeth Powell. John signed his name, but Caroline used a mark.

• Notes

  The IGI lists a Caroline Jones who was born 8 Dec 1818 and christened 8 Dec 1818 at Haverford West, Pembroke, Wales. Her parents were William James Jones and Elizabeth Harris. It not yet confirmed that this was our Caroline. At the time of her marriage to John Whimpey, Caroline was a widow. Her surname at the time was Griffiths. It is not yet known who her first husband was. The marriage certificate lists Caroline's father as William Jones, shoemaker. The 1841 Wales Census shows John and Caroline were living at Charles St, Uchlawrcoed, Bedwellty, Monmouthshire. Caroline was 22 years old, not born in county. They were listed on the same census page as his brother Joseph and his family (they were listed 2 households earlier than Joseph's family). John and Caroline came to Australia on the "Ward Chipman" and arrived 16 December 1841. Caroline was John's wife and aged 23 years. She coud both read and write and was from Monmouth. She was a house servant.
