Steve Do you have any other Hoffman names other than Martin's? I have them in my tree too, in or around Brisbane in the early 1900's. Mine include William Hoffman (or Hoffmann, it was spelt several ways in documents), who married Harriet Lucy Oxford (haven't been able to ascertain the date) and had children named William Phillip Hofmann (born 1906), Herbert Charles Hoffmann (born 1908), Elsie May Hoffmann (born 1910), and Charles Rudolf Hoffmann (born 1914). As I said, alternate spelling between Hoffman and Hoffmann. Please contact me if any of these names ring a bell. I don't have a Martin, but who knows?

Hi Maureen, I'm afraid I don't have any of those names. Martin's son John Thomas moved to the Atherton Tablelands and had 3 children, Inez, John Kendall & Kitty. This is my wife's line. John Thomas had several brothers and sisters but none of those names. There was 2 brothers, Edward Martin (1878-1940) and Albert Everard (1881-1963), who lived long enough to have children but I have no details if they did.
