I need some help on john hedley.
All I know about him comes from his marriage. 7 mar 1859, ballarat, Victoria, Australia. John hedley, 31, b.1827 in Newcastle on Tyne. An engineer, son of Alfred hedley an engineer, and Mary Walsh.
Bride was Mary Mack, a servant age 23 (age is quite flexible) born cork, dau go James Mack a carpenter and honorah Sullivan.
Mary had a bunch of kids with Richard sheean (spelled many ways) from 1864-1872, marrying him in 1874, claiming to be a widow since 1871.
On the births for Richard and Mary's kids, there are listed Mary ellen b.1859, George b.1861, and Jane b.1862. They are john hedley's children.
Can anyone find john hedley in English records? Or a death? I have Mary, his daughter who married under Mary heleanor hedley, she had 2 children. I cannot trace George, and suspect jane died as a child, though the ref I found doesn't quite add up.
