I am looking to see if John Guest b1845 in Wolverton, Staffordshire, d1928 Geelong, Victoria and his wife Martha b1847, Greater Boughton, Cheshire, d 1908 Geelong, Victoria are possibly first cousins.
John is the eldest son of Charles Guest (1823-1862) and Maria Turner (1826-?) and came to Australia arriving in Sydney in 1862.
Margaret Martha Guest is the daughter of John Guest (1818-1883) and Sarah Proctor ((1821- 1869) and came to Australia arriving in Melbourne in 1857.
John and Martha were married in Victoria on Oct 8 1871.
I am wondering if there is a connection between Charles Guest and John Guest, his son's father-in-law as both have the father John Guest on their respective marriage certificates.
I have found a baptism record for Charles Guest in the Denbigh baptisms showing his parents as John and Ellinor.
I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you.
