John Thomas Lankfer marriage to Mary
« on: Saturday 04 November 17 14:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
I am trying to find out more information about someone in my tree who moved to Australia. I know that he was born in 1860 in Cambridgeshire, England. The last English census I have found him in is in 1871 in Leicestershire with another relative.
Some time after that, I don't know the date he moved to Australia and married Mary (maiden name unknown) and had 3 girls. Details of his wife and children appear in an obituary in the Sydney morning herald in 1928.
I know that he was a butcher and sometimes was just Thomas rather than John Thomas.
I would like to find a marriage record for him. He could have got married in England or Australia.
And I would also like to find birth records for his children as I don't know when they were born.
Their names are Elizabeth Mary Lankfer, Henrietta Lankfer and Florence Lankfer.
Any help or other information about them would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much
Vicky

Looking for a remarriage for Henrietta .... but I think it must be a mistake on BDM   Husband is John Barry EVANS
