John’s parents are John and Flora nee Cooper, Brown of Weerite. Sadly John died while serving in World War One. I was wondering if you have anymore history on Johns service in WW1 or have any contacts of any relatives/descendants of John that could help out.

Maybe the gret grandmother was Neil? I know that there were six sons & a daughter. Alan, Wesley, were two as far as I recall, daughter was Evelyn. It is my understanding that Evelyn was my grandmother - My father Gary was illegitimate - if you have any insight - I would be sincerely appreciative.

Great info, thanks.<br />I was interested in the photo of John and Mary Ann. My cousin a few generations back is an Andrew (Daniel Andrew line, John's brother). Is the photo of John Mary Ann's father? As far as I have confirmed so far Mary Ann married David Leed in 1891 in Victoria.

The privy in the background, the cistern raised up on crude logs, and the outdoor boiler fire reflect our ancestor's hardships and their fortitude.
