John CORBETT of Cranbourne Victoria

Sue thank you - no the one I found isn't relevent. First find of the day I got a bit excited.

I think Merlins find is the one I'm looking for. Thank you Merlin.

I found 2 trees on Ancestry with Margaret Corbett and her children on them. Both people have replied to my message. I wonder if one of them could have a photo of him.

You are all helping so much and now I feel I know more about the man who is buried in a lonely corner at Cranbourne cemetery.

Thanks for your offer Judith - as you can see from what Sue pointed out and what Merlin has found it is more likely they came to Port Phillip.

Cheers Ted

Thanks Merlin, yes that is Jane.

She married a man called Joseph Howarth Smith before she married Reuben Bran.  She had 1 child with Joseph also called Joseph Howarth Smith who I have no idea about and she had 6 children with Reuben.

This info I recieved word of mouth.
