I just cant seem to narrow it down enough to order the certificates. His name is William James Rowe, Died 1902 Western Australia aged 57. Born in Cornwall.Parents are William James Rowe & Johanna Drains. Her name is Mary Jane Uren, Died 1924 Victoria aged 79. Born in Cornwall. Only have her fathers name: William Uren ( a coal miner). Their daughter Mary Jane Rowe, Died 1923 Victoria aged 60. Born in Cornwall England According to the death certificates I have, they all say that they came over to Australia in 1864. They where in Victoria. But I have searched all through passenger lists and cannot find them. Thanks

	I thought wed done this one recently? I remember that marriage. Are you saying there are too many choices for their birth certs? Have you looked on freebmd? If Mary Jane Rowes birth year is accurate as 1863, this is the only one born then in Redruth: pretty swiftly after above marriage (very common) June 1863 ROWE Mary Jane Redruth 5c 309 You may have to take a chance at some point, order from GRO for £7 and give pointers - ie. the parents or fathers name for all of them. You at least get £4 refund if it doesnt match.
