oh dear

think you're going to have dig deeper before you take that as gospel.

You say that John went to Australia and you have "everything" after that -- do you have any Australian certificates that might give you more info?

[DEBSM]

have john jr papers 4 when arrived in aussiie in 1846 on the palmyra said was 18 and tried at leicester 4 stealing got marriages and death ones nt much on them

[Annie65115]

No names of parents on the certificates?

Does it say when the offence was committed or the trial held? You might be able to get something from the criminal records that tells you more - where he lived for example.

said stealing beef and handkerchiefs on 31 dec 1845 frm nicholas higginson shop highcross street and took it 2 all saints church yard  jst says tried leicester quarter sessions 5 jan 1846 no parents names

I have copies of Queensland death certs from around 1900, and they give the names and occupations of the parents of the person who's died, as well as the details of their marraige and children, even though the dead person was an adult and was born and married in England before emigrating.

Have you got nothing like that for any of John's descendants?

[Annie65115]

What occupation did John take up once he was in Australia?
