Thank you Peter Booth in Australia, very familiar with Australian history, thanks anyway. I am searching JOHN WATERS origins in UK. I am hoping someone with access to Parish Registers for Ludford, can confirm if the John WATERS who married Sarah Bridgwaters there in 1810, remained there, so that I can eliminate him as a likely candidate. If some kind person with access to those Registers could please check for me, I would be sincerely grateful. Thank you. Kind regards, Dawn (Tasmania, Aus.)
