Hi Selwyn,
Are you talking about Rockhampton in Queensland? If so, it might help if you mention 'Australia' in your title. There are a number of very good Australian researchers on here who may be able to help you.
Good luck,
Peter

Hi Peter
Thanks for the tip. I have added "Queensland" to see if that might help.

Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as a Mitchell.

Thanks for that.
I have quite a bit on the family going back.
The problem is finding the children - now adults.

I do not know any of the children's names.
There is a story that some years later father Bill Cox played tennis against one of his daughters and was not aware who she was.
Family remember he was a staunch R.C.

If you purchase the death certificate it should have the children named together with their ages at the time of mothers death
