Hi Pat
How can we in Australia help your search?
It does not sound as if you are seeking descendants in Australia

Perhaps you need some information on the board so any possible relatives can identify your family.  There are a couple of John POLLOCK's in NSW in the same era.

Is this your family

Marriage - no E on BROWN
2930/1872
POLLOCK John
BROWN Margaret
District Newcastle

I would suggest purchasing transcript of this cert if you haven't done already.  Details of his age and parents' names including his mother's maiden name would be helpful.

A little more about the surfing accident at Kiama - John went to his wife's aid but succumbed to a heart attack and she was rescued but in a critical condition http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article101174387

Well various mentions of Pollock family in Kiama - probably not all your family http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=%22pollock+kiama%22~8

Just adding to the death of the John POLLOCK in the surfing accident, there is mention of a 13 year old daughter who raised the alarm.

The last birth listed for John and Margaret is in 1886.

A search of BDM lists for NSW shows a number of female births to father John POLLOCK and mothers of various names, but not Margaret.

Attempting to move you on in  your quest for descendants, one of the sons of your couple married

A search of the online index will show you their children to 1912. (including a son John J. )

Additionally to this couple -

1915. POLLOCK, Emily I. #40190 at MORUYA
1918 POLLOCK, Anastasia. #6827 at MORUYA
