Yes, if he came from Melbourne to Sydney, it's also possible he moved back there. I'm told that one of the Sydney universities has paperwork relating to businesses in Sydney - will have to see if I can track that down as it may give an indication how long he was in the matrimonial business in Sydney. Will print out this thread later, extract the information and put it into sequence/context - I'm away from home at the moment so a bit limited with what I can do. It just occurred to me that the "Thomas" in an earlier post could just be a clerical misrepresentation of Theophilus.
