Achievements :
Believed born in the UK possibly Lymington, Hampshire and
was married while on leave in the UK
- 1815/1816 possibly. We are currently trying to
verify this.Lieutenant Jonathon Warner Esq. JP. Joined
the British Navy as a midshipman in 1800. Transferred to
the British Army in 1807 and served until 1830.
Commissioned as an Ensign [2nd Lt] in the York Light
Infantry Volunteers 20th July 1808. Promoted to
Lieutenant in the York Light Infantry Volunteers 16th
November 1809. Put on half pay list 20th May 1817.
Appointed Lieutenant in the 1st Royal Veteran Company on
November 18th 1824. Appointed as Lieutenant in the 1st
West Indies Regiment 8th April 1825. Appointed Lieutenant
in the NSW Royal Veteran Companies 0n 24th September 1825
Arrived in Australia on the
"Orpheus" on the 12th September 1826 via Rio de
Janeiro with 213 men,
- women and children of the company. . [There is
some discrepancies re wife travelling with him. Family
history has Jonathon and Mary travelling with two sons
and the third William was born on the ship and three
months old when he arrived in Australia. We are trying to
solve the mystery as he could have been in Australia with
his wife prior to this]. In 1828 served as Assistant Road
Surveyor on the Great North Road and Wiseman's Ferry
district.Granted in 1830, 1280 acres of Land along Lake
Macquarie which became the present day Warner's Bay named
after Lieutenant Jonathon Warner .
Appointed Brisbane Waters
Magistrate in 1833 as resident magistrate,travelling to
Gosford by horseback
- from Warner's Bay and also served as a magistrate
at Newcastle when it was still essentially a convict
settlement.
He married Mary Dunkley and had
ten children and there are many Warner descendants today.
