Thank you for your reply,and for spending time "looking up" for me
These people look like the correct family
I have taken the following childrens birth year from their ages on Elizabeth's death certificate, 27March 1886
Jane born Liverpool 1838/9
Mary Ann Liverpool 1840/41
Elizabeth ? ? ? ? 1843/4 Born Aust ?
Sarah dec'd " "
James Francis 1848 " " ?
John Frederick 1851 " " ?
Christian Parker 1860 Castlemaine Aus
I will have to check which children were born in Australia
The Edwards seemed to have done very well in the Hepburn Springs Area of Victoria, James Francis was working as a miner with the mining board,,,,but as Mary Ann was married in the "Residence of Mr Edwards in the rites of the Wesleyan Church," I would guess that he was not just an ordinary miner.........
I,m looking forward to extending my knowledge of this family, who are ancesters of my partner, as I had been "stuck" for a long time
Thanks again Ann.
Regards Ann
