Hi John, good luck with your research on the Wood, and great news about Malcolm wasn't it. I wonder if your Rowe family is connected to mine - Henry John Rowe born Prahran 1857 to William Rowe and Sarah Jones. Other children of William and Sarah - Elizabeth Rowe and Sarah Jane Rowe (b 1859 and 1861) Henry married Catherine Haeffner in 1881 and ran the Star Hotel Beechworth during the 1890s while Wm Carrol was owner. regards Denise > whether they might be connected with the WOOD family below with which I > have a connection.
