John MASON

[Noandra]

I am trying to find more on this family - John Mason was born 1842 (place unknown) married  Elizabeth Ann Salmon RANGE b 14-10-1856 Obi Obi, , Queensland, Australia. Both died in Allora, Queensland, Australia. They had 13 children.
I am trying to find their ancestors and where they came from, I think John's parents were Thomas & Frances (nee Swede).
 
Elizabeth Ann Salmon RANGE's parents I think were John Range and Maryann Salmon.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Year. 1871/C93 John Range
Father  John Range
mother - Hook ** born England
Aged 46 years

Their ages are well aligned

A chap whose name was JOHN RANGE was a convict tried in NORFOLK.

He got his Certificate of Freedom in 1855 I think.
Issued at Moreton Bay.

Perhaps someone with better knowledge will confirm this.

I wonder if he is the same man?
