Charles Edward Daniels was born in Sussex, England in 1834, under the name Charles Ayling, son of James Ayling  and Geany Baring. He was baptised on 16 March, 1834 (Geany’s name recorded as Gainey - it was understood in the family that her name was Gaynor, so it was most likely pronounced Gay-nee. The 1841 census shows him living at home, aged seven. He was an agricultural laborour as was his father, and he fought in the Crimean War as a young man, under his rightful name.

The Gibletts

The Giblett family are from the Northam/Avon Valley area, and are amongst the early settlers in the region. John and Bridget Giblett emigrated to Western Australia aboard the “Success” arriving in 1843.

There is a very comprehensive book, Eastward to the Avon by Ronald A. Giblett, self-published in the early 1990s. Some details are not 100% accurate, but considering he did all of this work without the benefit of the internet, online indexes for records and so on, it is a meticulous account of the family origins. References will be quoted where the book is the only source, otherwise appropriate references will be noted.

John Giblett (born circa 1818) married Bridget Collins (born 17 March 1818) on 12 October 1840 at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Paddington, London UK.
