Thanks Geoff.

The marriage is correct.

I know nothing about his father being in Australia.

I know nothing about his father being in Australia.

At least one agrees it needs to be checked..

No birth on GRO 1848 +/- 2 with mmn LUKE or LAKE

Yeah, a bit dodgy, trees are unsure if William H was b. 1837 or 1844, none mention c1848 as far as I can see.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Age 14 in 1862 and age about 66 in 1913 so it says. I've tried from 1840 - 1852.
