Hi,  I'm trying to track down where John Henry STEVENS came from and who his parents etc. were, and when he came to Australia.  His first marriage certificate dated June 14 1869, states he was 23 yrs old and a bachelor and he came from Surrey, England.  His father was John Henry Stevens a Gardner.  His mother Hannah maiden name unknown.  He married Mary Ann Harber in Fitzroy, Victoria, Australia.  Mary Ann died in 1875 in Victoria, Australia.  John later married Evlyne Whitmore in 1875 at East Bylands, Victoria.  He was widower with three children.  The certificate also states he was b. Surrey, England and was aged 29yrs.  His father John Henry Stevens a Gardner.  Note: Mother Mary Ann Unknown.  (there is a note on the certificate stating that Johndidn't know his mother's maiden name as he was very young when she died.)  John Henry Stevens died 1931 Albury N.S.W. he was 83yrs old.  Parents John Henry Stevens Labourer and Mary Ann Smith?  Informant was a Matron at Albury District Hospital.  Certificate states he was b. Doncaster England and he lived 60yrs in N.S.W. and 21 yrs in Victoria.  Any help would be appreciated.
