DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM LYNE 1781-1854 AND SARAH nee BISHOP, VIA TASMANIA
The relationship of this family, if any, to the Lyne family primarily subject of this site is unknown to the site author.

The largest Lyne group in Australia is descended from William Lyne 1781-1854 born Little Compton, Gloucestershire, and Sarah nee Bishop 1786-1873, arr Hobart Tasmania 1826 with their 5 children. According to Burke's Colonial Gentry 1891, William was son of John Lyne and Betty Curtis m 1775, John being son of Thomas Lyne of Lyde and grandson of Henry Lyne of Little Compton. It has been said that Henry was at Little Compton by 1680. There have been numerous descendants in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales (including a State Premier).
