John BENT - Tasmania

[GeorgeRP]

Hi every-one,

Could someone please help with any details of a John Bent, who I believe married an Allison Vincent, 1912 in Zeehan Tasmania. What I require is who was John's parents, and was he born in Tasmania. He and his wife [Allison], had 3 children she died in 1942.

Any help would be appreciated.
