Re Matilda McDOWELL

Vic BDM
1871 birth William ASHCROFT, parents as John and Matilda (Dowdall) #10783
1876 birth George ASHCROFT, parents as John and Matilda (Dowdall) #23098
1887 birth Louisa ASHCROFT, parents as John and Matilda (Dowdall) #10106

Likely Louisa's birth cert will list all her older siblings names/ages in 1887, and the details of when and where her parents were married, and her parents origins etc.

John Thomas ASHCROFT was born , not at Benalla, but at the small settlement of Durham Ox

This is his marriage when he would have given the information himself.  It is therefore likely to be accurate

ASHCROFT John Thomas (Born DURHAM OX)
MCKEAN Margery
Year 1887
Reg   6679
 
This is his death and gives his mother's maiden name.
 
ASHCROFT John Thomas
Father John Broom
Mother Eliz Helen  GREENLEES
Death Place BENALLA
Age 87
Year 1950
Reg Number 22487

His birth is not registered in Victoria, but age at death makes him a year or two older than Francis ASHCROFT If it is accurate.
