John, George Howard
« on: Saturday 02 March 19 02:43 GMT (UK) »
Looking for further info on John, George Howard according to his headstone he was born 24 Sept 1861 and died in 1939. He died in Brighton Victoria and no parents were named on the death cert, so I obtain his marriage which gives me the following info: John George Howard was aged 24  his new wife Elizabeth Annie Davies was 19 yrs old, he was a labourer and she a servant they were married at St John's Kerang, her father is named as George Davies (Bricklayer) mother Mary Ann Rowe, where his father was named as John George Howard (Lawyer) mother Maria Rankin.
The witness were Simon Long and Hettie Gorman the wedding took place on 16 April 1884.
I'm trying to find out where they came from and about their family background.
Any further help or suggestions would be great.

There is an on-line family tree for this man.  As we all know on-line trees are not to be relied on but are sometimes correct and at least give a starting point.

The Australian birth index has this entry, which has some similarities to your man but the birthdate and mother's name are not exactly as you have given

1859, #4742
John George HOWARD
Birth Place: Myers Flat,
Parents: Jno Howard, Martha Cohune

There is a death which may be his mother and which gives her a second forename of Maria - perhaps this is how she was known??

Victoria 1862 #7312
Martha Maria HOWARD, 46 (Birth Year abt 1816)
Father's Name: Cohoone Robert
Mother's Name: Martha U

Can you transcribe the gravestone information plaese?
