Totally stuck Geoff.

No births, not ages at death to give a clue when children born and Edward died.

The 1872 Braidwood marriage should be on film at State Library.

One tree does not include daughter Elizabeth.

Still can't find the right death for Edward Dunn.

Seems James Dennis was a convict from Kent.
