Thank you Laurel for your interest. I have read that article and will investigate it further. The John Ovens I am interested in married my 2xGAunt Georgina Green, who died only a few months after their marriage. The 56th Regiment left for Madras in 1831 and I suspect Lt Ovens may have left with them. The Green family returned to Australia in 1836 and I was wondering what happened to Lt. Ovens. ..· ´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- -:¦:- ((¸¸.·´*.` Jenny McCarthy Brightwaters N.S.W. on beautiful Lake Macquarie
