This research is mind blowing. I'm very appreciative to all you Rootschat experts. Your industry was only matched by John and Elizabeth. I had no idea that they had such a large family ... 14 at the last count! One of the elder sons, Matthew died in Brisbane 1859 aged 28. It will take some time to absorb all this detail about the family and descendants. But back to John Langtree 1806-1876 apart from the obituary, I don't see any other reference to him in the Trove Newspaper Archive. His offspring had a higher profile.

Apologies ... I've just noticed that when I changed the spelling to Lanktree, the Trove newspaper Archive delivers the goods.

It is interesting that LANKTREE brings up so much on Trove.
It is definitely more than a newspaper typing error and it appears to have been completely interchangeable with LANGTREE.

Some family notices, including the death of wife Eliza in 1884, use the surname LANGTREE.

Much of John's employment and professional items use LANKTREE.

His will, which you can download, is in the name John LANKTREE.
11 surviving children at his death in 1876 ::)

Yes, there is an issue with the name spelling. This is common with Irish/Gaelic names which were written phonetically when anglicised and thus leads to many variations. But it's surprising in an English name such as Lanktree. It sometimes appears as Langtree or Langtry.

John's Will is the icing on the cake. I can't wait to read it. Unfortunately it won't download and the advice is that long files may be better downloaded outside office hours.

Perhaps as an aside …

Slight variation in some of the information…
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/13487765   SMH 19 March 1881
LANGTREE-BOWLER
March 16, at Warrendine, by the Rev Canon Dunstan,
M Campbell Langtree, son of the late John Langtree of Victoria to Adelaide Minna, second daughter of A.C.R. Bowler, of Forbes.

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/5983212 Argus, 22 March 1881
LANGTREE-BOWLER
ON THE 16TH INST, AT Warrendine, Forbes, New South Wales, by the Rev Canon Dunstan, M Campbell Langtree to Adelaide Minna, second daughter of A.R.C. Bowler. 

However, if it is significant for recording on a family tree chart, I am fairly certain that it should be A.C.R. Bowler, as in Adolphus Chorley Robert BOWLER.

Meticulous research, Jamjar. Amazing detail unearthed. My original hope was to learn something about John Langtree 1806-1876 and this has been surpassed. Thank you all.

It’s amazing what you can find using only free sites.  ;)

I would have liked to pin down the marriage for Robert Gordon.
