Elizabeth and Kezia Bristow

[kiterunner]

I'm trying to figure out whether these people are related to my Bristows, and if so, how. Elizabeth appears in the tree of one of my possible DNA matches on ancestry.

Elizabeth Bristow married Captain John Grono (a sailor), on the 20th Jul 1790 at St Mary Rotherhithe, Surrey / London, by licence. The second name on the licence bond is "John Doe". One of the marriage witnesses was a Kezia Bristow and the other was a serial witness. The Gronos emigrated to Australia on the "Buffalo" in 1799, and Elizabeth died there on the 7th Jul 1848, age 77. She is age 56 on the 1828 NSW census. So she was born about 1771-2.

Kezia Bristow, widow, married William Jefford, widower, on the 30th Dec 1798 at St Mary Newington, by banns. The witnesses were Jona[tha]n (I think it says) Webb and Mary Webb. William Jefford, son of William and Kezia, was baptised on the 14 Jun 1801 at St Mary Rotherhithe. William Jefferd, waterman, of Love Lane, was buried on the 27th Apr 1815 at St Mary Rotherhithe, age 60. Kezia Jefferd, widow, of Love Lane, was buried on the 6th Dec 1816 at St Mary Rotherhithe, age 50, so she was born about 1766.

Can anyone figure out who Kezia's first husband was, please? Maybe if I knew that, I could find out where he and Elizabeth came from.

Er, rather Kezia was.

He was Thomas, possibly the Thomas, caulker of Love Lane, buried in 1798:

Thanks, Phoenix. I don't know why ancestry wouldn't find that marriage for me, just more of its current misbehaviour I suppose. Shame the burial doesn't give Thomas's age at death, but I guess born about the same year as Kezia.
