Hi,
I'm trying to find out information about Elizabeth Woods (Sarah Ann Chapple's mother) and her second husband John Mills (born London, approx 1820, occupation recorded as tailor on marriage to Elizabeth Woods in 1855, later recorded as 'gentleman' on son Matthew;s wedding certificate in 1888). It appears he disappeared off the scene not long after their youngest son Matthew (our family link) was born in 1867.  Elizabeth remarried to John Holmes in 1869.  As far as I can tell John Mills was still alive for some years afterwards.

we'd love to know if anyone has any information/links/snippets regarding this John Mills.

Cheers,

JL

Hi JL66
Do you have the marriage certificate of John MILLS and Elizabeth CHAPPLE/ (nee WOODS later HOLMES later TAYLURE)?

It should show the names of the father of both parties.

This would assist in searching for John’s death

Thanks for the quick reply

I do have the marriage certificate and it shows John Mills parents names, although his mother's surname is unclear.  I suspect he may have left Victoria as I have not been able to locate a death certificate in Vic.  I shall have to broaden my search. I'm curious about the circumstances surrounding their separation - I've looked for divorce records but not yet found anything in their names.

I'm assuming that the seven children they had together were then brought up with Elizabeth's third husband John Homes, and that they remained in Avenel.  Various descendents of the seven children have truned up still linked to Avenel.  The original John Mills is however quite elusive!
