• Interesting that you have the same name as myself! I've also been investigating this branch of the Saint family that emigrated to Australia; I've posted more information at http://saintfamilies.com under the "Sherbourne Saints" tab, and the full Saint family tree at WorldConnect database=dorsetsaints.

I am hoping to find anyone who knows of a family named Marks who lived in South Petherton in the early 1800's. John Ernest Marks died and his widow~ Jane~ and a number of the younger members of the family migrated to Australia to join a son who was alredy there. Another son eventually settled in Australia following army service in India. Several of the older children of the family remained in Somerset and eventually married and had families of their own. **If you know anything about this family I would love to get an email from you.
