Thanks so much both Lisa and Michael for responding, and I think Michael is right as I completely overlooked the fact that John of 1894 being only 13 years. That will teach me to put more milk in the Weet Bix for breakfast. Thanks so much, I still cannot locate more about that John of 1894 though, but if his brother was using the name, I dare say he has died in infancy and I just have not located him. Okay,, thanks to everyone again. Margaret ************************* Margaret Bauer Qld, Australia bauerm@tpg.com.au *************************

Do you have a copy of the will? That should confirm the relationship between Edith and Tichborne/John If you don't you could check the NSW state records for a probate package though not all cases seem to have been stored there. I was recently looking for probate/insolvency records and I found them in the lawyers office in Dungog where they were dealt with more than 80 years ago. Lisa
