Hello listers, Is anyone researching the family of Francis BURNS and Margaret LYNCH? Looking for birth and marriage place of this couple. They were first sighted in Box Hill when child no. 5 died, but no clue where they came from. They had 8 known children with the last two born at Cranbourne and Koo Wee Rup where the family remained until at least 1907. Margaret died in January 1924 at Coburg and is buried at Fawkner but not with Francis. Her probate says that Francis was still alive in 1924 and I'm trying to determine (without buying the death cert) if Francis is the same Francis who died in Benalla. I know I could get all the answers from a later child's birth cert but trying to avoid this. Jenny
