    3. Daniel Berry did have a brother, John, who was transported on the ship "JOHN' in 1829 for fourteen (14) years for stealing fowls. They were both Sawyers. They both were granted T.O.Ls based on the Brtisbane Waters district and were issued with Certificates of Freedom in 1843/1844. In correspondence to the Colonial Secretary, 1847, a John Berry, Sawyer, and his family, plus his brother and his family were located at Gosford. My Grandfather John Berry, a Sawyer, was born to a John Berry, a Sawyer, and a Jane Fletcher in 1851 at Brisbane Waters. I have not been able to locate Jane Fletcher and/or her association with the above John Berry (or any other John Berry) in order to establish the family linkage. I suspect that she may have died after my Grandfathers birth as his mother is listed as being Elizabeth (Murund ?) on his marriage certificate in 1875. However, Jane Fletcher is the key to my family line. Does anyone have any knowledge of her? My Grandfather, John Berry, is reported as being involved in the management/ownership of sawmills in northern NSW and south east Queensland in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Is the any records of the Jarrett /Daniel Berry families being involved in the timber industry in these areas. Regards Scott Matthews Caloundra Queensland email: [email protected]
