What Is My Name?
Lane Tree
The John Lane and Mary Whitefield of Clovelly.
Clovelly is a pleasant little village and fishing station, 11 miles from Bideford, England. It is apart of the shire of Devon, with the houses built on the side of the sea cliff, one above the other. The main street of Clovelly, ascends in terraces and flights of steps trace from the beach and pier. In July 1841, the parish had 950 inhabitants, besides 40 seamen who were then absent, while 1871 saw only 757 residence in the area. In relation to the geography of England, Clovelly is in the south western part of England. The shire of Devon borders Cornwall, which is the limit of the south western extent of England’s land mass.
During the late 1700’s and early 1800’s, the village contained a vast array of assort residents, some of which were connected to the Lane and Whitefield families. Like a majority of families in the parish, they were integral participants of the fishing trade. Recorded in the 1841 Clovelly Census, there were nine(9) Lane and fifteen (15) Whitefield family members in the parish. This number did not include the fisherman who were out at sea. What is interesting is the fact that by the 1871 census, there were twenty nine (29) Whitefield relations, while no Lanes are recorded at all. It is unknown at this stage, if the Lane family migrated from the area or were the victims of a more sinister end.
The name “lane” has a Gaelic origin from the word “Llane” meaning; a plain, barren, sandy, level lands. It also has the meaning of a narrow way between hedges, a narrow street, an alley. In old English terms, individuals who lived in areas such as these would be named after the area. (i.e: John of the Lane.)
On the 7th of January 1814, John LANE and Mary WHITEFIELD were married at Clovelly, where they would later raise their family. In 1814, John was a mariner in the Clovelly area. He was apart of the Clovelly Mariner’s Union that was established in 1792, and his membership details were recorded on 1823. John was no doubt performed his duties as a mariner before this date, but this seems to be the only recording of his union membership.
It is unknown at this stage, when John LANE was born and who his parents were. In reference to the naming order of English children during this time, one could draw the conclusion that his father’s name was William. (It was common practice that the first born son was named after the father’s father.) This conclusion is only an educated guess, with no concrete evidence located at this time. At this stage of my research, I believe John may have been baptised on 19th of December 1789 at Hartland, Devonshire, with his parents being William LANE and Mary BURNARD.
Like John, it is unknown when Mary WHITEFIELD was born. As it was common practice for the first born daughter to be named after the mother, I believe Mary was the second youngest daughter of James WHITEFIELD and Lydia COTTEL, born around 1794.
John and Mary had a total of seven(7) children; three(3) boys and four(4) girls.

John and Mary raised their family in the Clovelly township for many years. On the 7th of June 1841, whilst the men were out at see, a Census was conducted. The following was recorded of the LANE family;
- Mary Lane, mariners wife aged 45 born in Devon
- Elizabeth Lane aged 19, born in Devon
- Mary Lane aged 11, born in Devon
- Sarah Lane aged 9, born in Devon
In the 30th of March 1851 Clovelly & Bideford Census, the Lane family were living in High Street. Once more, it appears that the males were out at see. The following information was recorded;
- Mary Lane, head/wife, mariner's wife, aged 57, born Clovelly
- Mary Jane Lane, daug, aged 21, home, born Clovelly
- John Chiswell Lane, grandson, aged 4, scholar, born Hapinford, Cornwall
- Charles Henry Finch LANE, grandson, aged 1, born, Clovelly, Devon.
On the 23rd of November 1857, John LANE passed away in Clovelly and was buried in the Clovelly parish. It is unknown the cause of death
After a few years, most of the Lane family had departed from Clovelly. This can be observed by the 7th of April 1861 Clovelly Census, showing that Mary LANE (Whitefield) was the only person living in the High Street residence. The census record revealed that she was 67 years old, a widow and occupied as a fishing net maker. It is unknown when or where, Mary died.
Apart from John “Valentine” LANE & William Whitifield LANE it is unknown what life had to offer for the rest of the children.
John “Valentine” Lane & Catherine Jane Galbeath.
B5 - John “Valentine” LANE was born in 1824, within the town of Clovelly. John was the third son of the family and in light of the English naming tradition, he was named after his father. On the 2nd of May 1824, John was baptised at Clovelly.
John’s childhood and early work is unknown at this stage. What can be concluded is that he followed in his father’s footsteps and found interest in the unknown seas that provided a lifestyle for the Clovelly parish. Unlike his father, who was heavily involved in the fishing industry, John centered his attention on sailing and navigating the ships. This fuelled a fire within John, who soon spread his wings (or fins) to lengthy journeys abroad.
John was constantly sailing the seas and an exact date of immigration is uncertain. What is certain is the fact that John LANE made his way to Australia, where he would later settle down and call home.
On the 1st of November 1849, the “Statesman” departed from Gravesend, Kent, England. John LANE was the master of this ship and guided over 300 passengers and crew to Australia. On the 19th of November 1849, the “Statesman” stopped for a short time in Plymouth, before finally arriving at Adelaide on the 12th of February 1850. It took a total of three and a half months for the nautical voyage from Gravesend to Adelaide.
It is unknown how the name originated, but John LANE, once sailing in Australian waters adopted the middle name of “Valentine.” Most shipping records reflect his initials J.V.LANE, sometimes mistaken as J.W.LANE.
These are just some of the ships, John was the master of; Picard, Drover, Maid of the Yarra, Black Swan, and the Maggie. These were all ships sailing in Victorian waters.
John soon settled down in Melbourne and was the master of countless ships in the area. John sailed between Melbourne, Hobart, Sydney, Adelaide and even back to England on a couple of occasions. During his work, John somehow found time to meet up with a Scottish lass called Catherine Jane GALBEATH. She was born in a small Scottish village called Houston, Renfrewshire, Scotland.
The Houston village and parish is located in north centre of Renfrewshire. The village stands 5 miles west-north-west of Paisley. The town succeeded an ancient village, called originally Hugh's town, which was nearly demolished in 1780. Houston was later erected after the demolition of the old village. Catherine was born in this village around 1829, with her parents being Charles GALBRAITH and Marion GREEN. Charles was an Inn Keeper within the area.
At this stage, the exact time and place, Catherine immigrated to Melbourne is unknown. The problem with the research is the mainy derivatives of the last name. The following, is all the surnames Catherine has recorded on birth and marriage certificates.; GALBEATH, GALBRATH, GALBRAITH, GALEBRATH, and GILBRAITH.
What is certain, is that on the 11th of March 1854, John Valentine LANE married Catherine Jane GALBRAITH at 46 Lonsdale Street, North Melboune, Victoria. On the marriage certificate, John is listed as a Timber Merchant of Melbourne. Over the next few years John and Catherine resided at 46 Great Lonsdale St in North Melbourne (1854-1855), Victoria St in North Melbourne (1856-1857), Jeff Cott St in North Melbourne (1858-1859) and Park St in Emerald Hill (1860-1861).
John and Catherine had a total of six(6) children; four(4) boys and two(2) girls.
2. Wife and Children of John “Valentine” LANE;
B5 John Valentine LANE – bp) 2/5/1824, Clovelly,
Married on 11 Mar 1854 at North Melbourne, Victoria.
B5.1 Catherine Jane GALBEATH – (b) 1829 Houston, Scotland.
(d) 25/09/1885 Newcastle
C1 William Charles (b) 20 Feb 1855, North Melb.
(d) 1862, Morpeth, NSW.
C2 John Edward (b) 2 Aug 1856, North Melb.
C3 Lydia Marian (b) 17 Jun 1858, North Melb
(d) 1914, Newcastle, NSW
C4 Arthur Frederick (b) 5 Jul 1860, Emerald Hill
(d) 14 Jul 1903, Newcastle
C5 William Charles (b) 1863, Newcastle, NSW.
C6 Mary Catherine (b) 16 Oct 1866, Stockton.
(d) 1942, Mayfield, NSW.
Around 1861, John and Catherine moved to Newcastle with their young family, where John continued to perform duties as a Captain in the Newcastle area and the family resided in Stockton and Newcastle.
In 1862, tragedy attached itself to the LANE family with the death of their eldest child, William Charles at Morpeth. William was only 7 years old and it is unknown at this stage, the circumstance of his death. Over the next four years, two further children were born.
As recorded in the Knaggs Nautical Almanac; the LANE family resided at the following locations, whilst in Newcastle; (1880-1883) Sydney Street in Newcastle and (1884-1886) Railway Street in Newcastle.
On the 25th of September 1886, Catherine Mary LANE nee GALBREATH, loved wife John “Valentine” LANE, passed away from Pneumonia, that she had suffered from for three months. She was 58 years old and passed away at her home in Railway Street. Her daughter, Catherine, was the informant on the death certificate. From her death certificate, Catherine Mary LANE was buried on the 26th of September 1886 by William DART in the Newcastle Cemetery. The minister, William BAIN, was Presbyterian. This is unusual, as the LANE descedents were strictly Catholic and were buried at Sandgate Roman Catholic Section.
It is my personal opinion, because of her Scottish heritage, she was buried in a Presbyterian cemetery. Even though a large amount of research has gone into this area, I am yet to find records of her burial location within Newcastle. Her head stone maybe lost, but I have not found a cemetery holding her remains.
Another mystery is the lack of evidence relating to the death of John “Valentine” LANE. One would assume, that John and Catherine would be buried together, but their burial has not been located. There are no records what so ever relating to John’s death, which makes me think that he has died at sea. Further research, will no doubt, uncover this mystery.
C3 – Lydia Marian LANE married James LYALL at Newcastle in 1882. No children came from the marriage, but in 1897 James passed away. The same year, Lydia married Henry “Harry” JOHNSON in Newcastle. No children can be found with this marriage. Lydia died at Newcastle in 1914.
C5 – William Charles LANE. I can not find a marriage, children or death of William, but he was alive on 16/7/1903, when he posted a notice in the Newcastle paper about the death of his brother.
C6 – Mary Catherine LANE married Robert WHITEHEAD at Wallsend in 1903. No children can be located and Mary died at Mayfield in 1942.
Arthur Frederick Lane and Margaret Mackell.
C4 – Arthur Frederick LANE was born on the 4th of July 1860 in Park St, Emerald Hill, Victoria. He was the forth child to come along and only after three(3) years travelled up to Newcastle with his parents and siblings.
As his father earned a living sailing and transporting goods from Newcastle, Arthur and his older siblings were raised mostly by his mother. Arthur did not follow in his father’s footsteps and centered his trade on a more land based employment opportunity.
Arthur became employed in the Railway Industry within the Newcastle area. He became specialised in the duties of a fireman and was tasked to stock the locomotive engines with coal to keep them running. Towards the end of his career, he was promoted to a more luxurious position with the task of engine driver.
During this time in Newcastle, Arthur met a young lady by the name of Margaret M MACKLE. When I say young, Margaret was 10 years his junior. Margaret was born in 1870 at Newcastle, with her parents being John MACKELL and Mary KENNEDY. Mary was the second youngest of five children, to which she appears to be the only one born in Newcastle. The other siblings were either born in Redfern or Bathurst.
When Mary was only 16, her father passed away at the age of 44. One year later, Margaret would be married to Arthur Frederick LANE. One unusual similarity between the couple is that Arthur’s mother and Margaret’s father died within one month of each other towards the end of 1886.
On the 26th of June 1887, when Arthur was 28 and Margaret was just 17, they exchange vows and were married at St Mary’s Church in Newcastle. Margaret was provided written permission by her mother, Mary MACKLE, to undergo the marriage, because she was under the age of 21.
Arthur and Margaret settled down within the Newcastle suburb of Hamilton, where they raised their family.
Arthur and Margaret had five children; two(2) boys and three(3) girls;
3. Wife and Children of Arthur Frederick LANE;
C4 Arthur Frederick LANE – b) 5 Jul 1860, Emerald Hill, VIC
d) 14 Jul 1903, Newcastle
Married on 25 Jun 1887 at Newcastle.
C4.1 Margaret M MACKLE – (b) 1870 Newcastle
(d) 28 Feb 1928 Newcastle
D1 Mary T LANE - (b) 1887, Newcastle.
(d) 1910, Newcastle.
D2 John Edward LANE (b) 1890, Newcastle.
D3 Stanislaus Frederick LANE – b) 16 Nov 1891, Newcastle
d) 15 Dec 1934, Hamilton
D4 Zita E LANE - (b) 1894, Newcastle
D5 Doris K E LANE – (b) 1896, Newcastle, NSW.
Now it is my belief that it was a shot gun wedding type scenario, because their first daughter, Mary J was born in late 1887, and the marriage went ahead in June 1887. Not only did Arthur marry a much younger woman, it appears that he had to take the gentleman way of life and marry his young pregnant lover. Having a child out of wed lock would have been social suicide back in those days.
Whilst Arthur continued to work for the Railway department, Margaret stayed at their Hamilton home to raise their children. By 1899, Arthur was earning 10 shillings a day.
It is unknown the exact address, but the Lane family spent a large amount of time at a Bennett Street residence in Hamilton. Unfortunately, when the children were still young, Mary was 16 and Doris was just 5, Arthur Frederick LANE passed away.
On the 14th of July 1903, Arthur died at their Bennett Street address in Hamilton. Arthur died at a young age of 43 from Plethisis Pulmonalis, or Tuberculosis as it was commonly called, which he suffered from for over 4 years.
On Thursday the 16th of July 1903, Arthur LANE was buried in the Roman Catholic Section of Sandgate Cemetery. On the same date, there were 3 notices in the Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners Advocate inviting friends and family to the funeral.
After this tragedy, Margaret raised her children with the assistance of her relatives and Arthur’s siblings.
The LANE family later moved to Cleary Street, then in 1918 to 43 Lindsay Street in Hamilton, and as the children got older, they moved out from home.
On the 28th of February 1928, Margaret M LANE passed away and was later buried with her late husband in the Sandgate Cemetery.
D1 – Mary T LANE married John W SMITH at Newcastle in 1906, she later died at Newcastle in 1910.
D4 – Zita E LANE married Albert TAYLOR at Wickham in 1926.
John Edward Lane – Older brother of Stanislaus Lane.
D2 – John Edward LANE was a carter with the Newcastle Railway Department before joining the army. On the 16th of November 1915, at the age of 24, John enlisted as a Private in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) at Holdsworthy. He was issued with Service Number 3848. By his enlistment card, John was only short in stature, being 5”2’ and 110lbs. He had a fair complexion, grey eyes and dark brown hair.
I would like to say that John was a decorated war hero, who fought for his country and was respected by his piers, but this is far from the truth. John had a notorious reputation with the army for disciplinary problems and spending a large amount of time in hospital for Venereal Disease (VD.)
John was placed in the 19th battalion, of the Australia Imperial Force and embarked from Sydney on HMAT “Runic” on the 20th of January 1916. For a period of 2 months, John traveled to Egypt and Marseillee before falling ill will appendicitis. He suffered from this illness for one month before being transferred to England on the 21st of May 1916.
It is around this time, the 30th of May 1916, that John’s mother; Margaret LANE forwards a letter to the army. In the letter, Margaret acknowledges the receipt of an army letter informing her of John’s illness. She states, “I sincerely hope that he will be able to be about and doing his duty.” This becomes ironic, as John rarely abided by the fabled “duty” that his mother speaks dearly of and becomes a thorn in the side of authorities. During the letter, Margaret states that she had recently received a post card from John, where he complains that he had not received any letters from his family. This may be a conduit for John’s frustrations, where he later is absconds without leave for extended periods of time.
It appears that John enjoyed his time in the natural country of his grandfather, because on the 25th of August 1916, John was emitted to Bulford Hospital suffering from Gonorrhea. After 19 days of treatment, John was discharged, before a relapse of Gonorrhea, on the 18th of December 1916, sent him to Parkhouse hospital.
For reasons unknown, John Edward LANE escaped from Belford Hospital on the 25th of February 1917. John enjoyed his time on the run and traveled up north through Scotland and Ireland for a period of four (4) months. This “holiday” was short lived as John was apprehended at Belfast on the 2nd of July 1917 and was charged with being Absent Without Leave (AWL.) John was sentenced to twelve (12) months detention, which was later reduced by five (5) months.
On the 15th of September 1917, John was AWL once more, before returning on his own accord twelve days later. No disciplinary action was placed on John for this indiscretion and the case was dismissed.
On the 28th of September 1917, while John was illegally absent, his dear mother wrote another letter to the army. Within this letter, it is evident that she is worried about her son. The last letter that she had received from her son was in December 1916 and all letters that she sends to John are marked “unable to trace.” (In a return letter from the army, it is stated that Margaret had been addressing the letters with the wrong details.) Margaret indicated that she is regularly paid for his military involvement, but is extremely anxious about the mail situation. One could only imagine the fear that would be filling Margaret LANE, hearing about countless killed in the war and not hearing from her own son. Margaret is very polite during the letter and requests that the Army take steps to remedy her plight. Unknown to Margaret, John has not been “doing his duty” for Australia and has been on the run and collecting diseases on the way.
It appears that John’s “freedom” got the better of him, because the 6th of October 1917 saw him return to hospital for a relapse into the discomforts of Gonorrhea. After being discharged from Hospital, John was admitted to the Detention Barracks.
After two months at the Barracks, John was marched into Overseas Training on the 3rd of January 1918, where the unexpired portion of his sentence was remitted. One week later, John was suffering from Gonorrhea again and transferred to Hospital. This was a particular horrid bout as he was in hospital for 88 days.
On the 18th of April 1918, one week after being discharged from hospital, John went AWL for three (3) months and declared an “illegal absentee.” It appears that John Edward LANE was a free spirit that did not enjoy the confines of military service. Without a regular pay slip John soon came back on the 31st of July 1918.
On the 12th of August 1918, John was charged for being Absent without leave again and was sentenced to another 12 months of detention. As with his previous sentence, one week later John was at Bulford Hospital being treated for his Venereal Disease. This would be his last stay in the hospital and after 41 days, John was marched into the Command Depot.
On the 25th of November 1918, John felt that he was deserving of one final holiday and went AWL again. John seemed to learn from his previous experiences of freedom and was an Illegal Absentee for six (6) months. Unfortunately for John and the army, who were wasting hard earned money on this Private, he was apprehended and held at Sutton Veny, where he was charged and sentenced to nine (9) months detention.
John served three (3) months of his detention, before the sentence was remitted.
On the 11th of September 1919, the army posted a letter to Margaret LANE. They informed her that John, was returning to Australia because of disciplinary reasons and that he will be remained in custody for a length of time. This would have been devastating for Margaret to read, but she would also have been relieved that he was still alive.
On the 29th of October 1919, John Edward LANE returned to Australia and was discharged.
In light of his problematic history with the army, John’s war gratuity was withheld. Towards the twilight of his military history, John was being referred to as “Jack” on a number of his records. In contrast to what was written in the letter addressed to his mother, John did not serve any further time in detention on Australian soil.
After a number of years back in Australia, John married Maudie POWER at Newcastle in 1935. John was 45 years old at the time of marriage and no children can be located.
Stanislaus Frederick Lane and Elsie Mable Howland.
D3 – Stanislaus Frederick LANE was born on the 16th of November 1891 in Hunter Street at Newcastle. He was the third born of five children for the LANE family and was commonly referred to as “Stan” or “Stanley.”
Stanislaus followed in the steps of his father and older brother by entering the railway industry, where he would remain employed for his entire life. Before his career would take hold, Stan would met a slightly older women by the name of Elsie Mable HOWLAND.
Elsie was born in Corlette Street at Newcastle on the 16th of July 1889 and was the third eldest of nine children. Her father was Charles Frederick HOWLAND (born in Raymond Terrace) and her mother was Susanna Julia BAMBLETT (born in Port Stephens.) Charles and Sussanna married on the 18th of May 1885 at the Anglican “Christ Church” in Newcastle. Susanna's father, Daniel was the son of an english convict (John BAMBLETT) and a full blooded aboriginal (Susan FREEMAN).
On the 28th of June 1913, Stanislaus Frederick LANE married Elsie Mable HOWLAND at the Roman Catholic ‘Sacred Heart Church’ in Hamilton.
After a number of years as a regular labourer on the railways, Stanley officially became a porter for the Newcastle Railway Department. By his employment card, Stanley performed initial duties as a porter before being promoted to a railway shunter. Stanley performed these duties from 1917 to 1934. At the start of his career, Stanley earnt 9/3 in old terms, whilst 33/11 was his the pay rate towards his final years.
The family lived at 16 Denison Street in Hamilton at Newcastle, before later moving to 13 Reay Street, Hamilton.
Stanlislaus and Elsie had four children; two(2) boys and two(2) girls;
4. Wife and Children of Stanislaus Frederick LANE;
D3 Stanislaus Frederick LANE – b) 16 Nov 1891, Newcastle.

married on 28 Jun 1913 at Hamilton.
D3.1 Elsie Mable HOWLAND – (b) 16 Jul 1889, Newcastle.
(d) 21 Apr 1958, Wallsend.
E1 Elsie Theresa LANE - (b) 1916, Hamilton
E2 Thelma Irene LANE (b) 19/11/1917, Hamilton.
(d) 14/9/1962, East Maitland.
E3 Arthur Charles LANE – b) 1920, Hamilton
d) 1984, Newcastle
E4 Stanley Kenneth LANE - (b) 1922, Hamilton
(d) 7 Nov 1989, Newcastle.
Like his father, Stanley died at the young age of 43. On the 15th of December 1934, Stanley died of Aplastic Anaemia at Newcastle Hospital and was buried the next day in the Roman Catholic Section of Sandgate Cemetery.
Aplastic Anaemia is a rare but extremely serious disorder that results in the inability to regenerate red blood cells in the bone marrow. Aplastic anemia has been clearly linked to radiation, environmental toxins, insecticides, and drugs in much the same fashion that cancer has been linked to these agents.
In light of her husband’s death, Elsie LANE (Howland) received the wages and holiday pay due to Stanely. On the 7th of January 1935, Elsie LANE received at total of 8/0/9 pounds owing to her husband.
On his death, Stanley’s children ranged in aged between 21 and 10, leaving the legacy of the children’s mother raising the children at Hamilton.
On the 21st of April 1958, Elsie Mable LANE (Howland) passed away at Wallsend. The Church of England funeral service was held at Beresfield Crematorium on Wednesday the 23rd of April 1958. One unusual item of note, is the fact that she was not buried with he late husband Stanislaus LANE at Sandgate and was cremated.
This could highlight an emotional grievance between the two, or be as innocent as an Anglican religious tradition that she held close to her heart. One must remember that Elsie lived for 33 year more years after Stanley’s death, and times changed.
E1 – Elsie Therese LANE – was commonly referred to as “Tess.” She married Christopher “Dixon” BELL at Hamilton in 1936. They adopted a boy named Dixon BELL who was born around 1945.
E2 – Thelma Irene LANE was born on the 19th of November 1917 at 16 Denison St, Hamilton. On the 23rd of June 1935, at the age of 18, Thelma gave birth to Norman Eric LANE. Thelma was not married at the time and her father had passed away 7 months previously. In turn, young Norman was raised by Thelma’s mother, Norman’s real grandmother, Elsie Mable LANE. In an unhappy twist, it is uncertain if Norman, ever knew his “older sister,” was really his mother.
Norman Eric LANE married Shirely COOPER at the Wallsend Methodist Church on the 20th of December 1957. They had six children; Tony Anthony Norman LANE (1958), Donna Marea LANE (1960), Bruce Karl LANE (1962), Rodney Eric LANE (1964), Noelene Gay LANE (1966) and Russell Thomas LANE (1970.)
On the 20th of November 1942, Thelma LANE married Bethel Ormand STACE at St. Peter’s Church in East Maitland. They had two daughters; Marcia Irene STACE (1946) and Bethany Thelma STACE (1949.) Thelma worked at Arnott’s for some time.
Unfortunately, at the same age as her father and her grand father, Thelma passed at the age of 44. One 14th of September 1962, Thelma died from the failure of a heart valve. This valve was weakened by Rheumatic fever infecting the heart.
E3 – Arthur Charles LANE. He worked at Newcastle Glass Works in Hamilton and married Cecilia OTT around late 1950’s. In 1960, they had a son, Gregory LANE. Unfortunately, Cecilia passed away in 1960, when Gregory was just 3. Arthur employed a house maid called Norma, who helped raise Gregory. In 1984, Arthur passed away at Newcastle.
E4 – Stanley Kenneth LANE. Commonly referred to as “Ken” never married or had children. He later lived with the house maid called “Norma,” who helped raise his nephew. On the 7th of November 1989, Stanley passed away in Newcastle.
