ORIGINS
The following is a summary of research reported in Chapter 5, A Watkins Family of New Zealand by Doreen Corrick (1988). The chapter is titled "Miss E. Paton's Researches". Elsie A PATON was Julia Maria Sloane's great-granddaughter who while living in England, with assistance of professional genealogists, searched for documents to discover the origins of Julia.
Julia Maria SLOANE
Mary Ann KENT was baptised on 28 March 1806 at St Marylebone, Westminster (London), the daughter of Stephen and Jane KENT. Her birth date was recorded as 27 Feb 1806. Jane Kent went on to marry James SPENCER and later a Mr COCKS, carver and gilder of Marylebone High Street, London. Mary Ann's half sister, Rosina Emily SPENCER was born 8 Feb 1808. The sisters were baptised at St Marylebone 4 Dec 1812 with the names Julia Maria SPENCER and Rosina Emily Stephens SPENCER, daughters of James and Jane SPENCER. Their birth dates were recorded in the Baptism Register.
These two sisters were cared for Cassandra Julia HAWKE, the daughter of Martin Bladen HAWKE, 2nd Baron Hawke of Towton and Cassandra TURNER. Cassandra married three times, first to Samuel ESTWICK (1770-1797) on 15 Jul 1793, then the Reverend Stephen SLOANE (-1812) in 1880, and finally to William Frederick GREEN (AKA Thomas GREEN) on 2 Sep 1820. In 1811 Stephen SLOANE made provision in his will for £1000 to be paid to his wife Cassandra when he died. About the time Stephen SLOANE died in 1812, or earlier, the two sisters went to live Cassandra Julia SLOANE (nee HAWKE) in London. Before getting married a third time, Cassandra entered into a Marriage Settlement, in which yearly interest from £1000 of £50 was to be paid to the two girl's mother, Jane COCKS, for her life, and on her death the £1000 was to go to Julia Maria SLOANE and Rosina Emily Stephens SPENCER. The sisters were cared for by Cassandra for at least 14 years.
Cassandra Julia GREEN died in London in 1826. In 1827 Julia Maria SLOANE married Daniel Watkins at St Marylebone. In 1828 Rosina Emily Stephens SPENCER married Thomas LEWTHWAITE at St Marylebone.
Jane COCKS (the two sister's mother) died in 1840. A a Deed of Release was drafted on 26 Aug 1840 and sent to Dr Daniel Watkins and his wife in Sydney in connection with the payment of £625 (£500 plus interest) as Mrs Watkins share of the annuity to Jane COCKS.
In summary, Julia Maria SLOANE was known by three names prior to her marriage:
(1) Mary Ann KENT after her baptism in 1806.
(2) Julia Maria SPENCER after her second baptism in 1812, reflecting her step-father's surname.
(3) Julia Maria SLOANE at some time before 1820.
