The stepson aspect is an interesting aspect. Family stories tell me that there were 2 illegitimate children in the family. I found one of them today; not this one though. I will pursue that line now too.

I keep coming back to the marriage between Joseph and Margaret Miller too. The children are available on Ancestry so I'll put them back in my tree (I took them out in case I was going down the wrong track).
Thank you for the other documents. It's all building an interesting story.

The GPO electrician is definitely the wrong man. My Joseph John Symons' siblings are William, Emily, Jane, Sophia, Sarah, David, Laura and Arthur. Sorry, I probably should have said that earlier.

Magnificent, thank you.
I've trawled Trove looking for Joseph, I was obviously not searching with the right words. That is definitely the right family. I will go back there and look for more.

Thank you. I did find those records too but I'm not convinced it's the right person either. I will keep searching.

My friend has asked if I could help find information on her family member. We can find information on his family but I’m finding information on Joseph John Symons very thin on the ground.
Joseph John Symons b. 1855 Douta Galla (Essendon) Melbourne
His parents are;
Father: Joseph Samuel Symons b. 10 Oct 1834, Lambeth St Mary, England, d. 6 Oct 1890. Gipps Ward Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (buried Kyneton Victoria)
Mother: Jane Esther Hall b. 22 Mar 1833 Cumberland, England d. 13 May 1905 'Windmill Farm' Edgecombe, Victoria, Australia
I can’t find a death date, a wife, or any children for Joseph John. I do know that he signs his Fathers probate papers in December 1890, in Kyneton I think. And that’s it.
What am I missing? Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Can you please identify your source for these statements -
"... Yes Jane Christina migrated with Jane and her father James Taylor".
Where are you seeing this?. What ship did they arrive on?
"....... In 1850 both James (Brand TAYLOR) and his son (Allan Alexander TAYLOR) died".
BDM VIC death
1850 / 4822 TAYLOR James Brand parents UKN / UKN died Melbourne age 27
Can you please identify the death of the son.
Did Jane Christina TAYLOR possibly arrive later than her parents, and in the care of other family members to Melbourne?
Do you have death certificate for Jane DICKINSON to see how "years in the colony" are recorded?
1929 / 6925 DICKINSON Jane Christina Anderson parents TAYLOR James Brand / Jane (Anderson)
This is the information I have used for their arrival.
