Dear Listers, After so many of you have replied regarding the marriage details of John Brooks and Martha Plush......he is not the right John after all! Sorry about this but have found out that the John Brooks here was born 1839, with a father named Thomas.. whereas mine was supposedly not born until the family had arrived in South Australia in 1847. I was wondering if perhaps somehow the family had lived for a while in another State where he was born? Once again thank you all for taking the time to reply, trying to help me. This elusive John Brooks is getting as hard to find as my William John Boyce. Many thanks, Sieglinde.
