    3. Len I took a wild guess and came up with this which is a possible match [not sure if they are yours or not, but just in case.] John HAMLYN died 27 Mar 1895 Toowoomba buried 28 Mar 1895 aged 77 - at Toowoomba & Drayton Cemetery s/o Wife Sarah died 2 Nov 1904 aged 76 Toowoomba buried 3 Nov at Toowoomba & Drayton Cemetery They could have died near Toowoomba, because at that time there were not too many cemeteries around and lots of people who lived nearby gor buried in Toowoomba & Drayton, which is the oldest Cemetery here You will note that John's age matches almost with the immigration one I sent. Maybe the " Single" bit was a mistake. See other deaths here https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/ and https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/ The John Drewe HAMLYN who died 18 Nov 1890 died at Mayborough, after a long and painful illness, was the eldest son of John HAMLYN, of Harley Vale, Geham. Geham is about 20 klms from Toowoomba, so it maybe that the John who died 1795 is that John and that he would have died geham [perhaps] then buried in Toowoomba. Darling Downs Gazette 29 Jan 1879 Also 20 Jan 1879 at the Albert Mills, Highfields [my Note: nr Toowoomba]by the rev. T. Thatcher, of Gympie, Thomas, second son of John HAMLYN of Hartley Vale, to Emily Elizabeth CROCKER, daughter of the late John HAMLYN, of Devonshire, England Regards Bev -------------------------------------------------- From: "Len Heyward" <lhe6246@bigpond.com> Sent: Monday, December 10, 2018 7:31 PM To: <beverley@yourisp.com.au> Subject: RE: Hamlyn > Thank you Bev; > > Afraid I don't know where this John would fit in. > > Being aged 54 and single (unless he was a widower) I don't think there is > much chance he would have married in Australia.
