Dorchester/Beaminster look up

[jalrose]

Hello, hoping someone can enlighten me.  I have Bertha Matilda Jeffery Saunders born in Dorchester in 1887 (5a/339) to John & Amelia Saunders.   Using Jeffrey as a clue, I found a John Saunders & Amelia Jeffery married in Beaminister 5a/703 in June qtr 1878.  Bertha definitely has siblings: William, Herbert, Elizabeth/Maud, and Victor.  At some point the family come to Australia.  Unfortunately I cannot find any more info in Aust about John, but Amelia died in NSW 1943 and the death notice indicates John already deceased.  Too many John Saunders!  Could someone check some census or something, which might provide some clues, perhaps his parents names or something.   Many thanks.  Sorry UK having such problems with covid.  Aust now going downhill at the moment, people too complacent here.
