After a break from my Family tree and some recent contact by a family memeber i have started looking at my tree again and i remain as baffled as ever by 1 person and i am hoping someone can help me.
John Mills Born between 1882 and 1884 in london, he moved to Australia in 1911 with his wife Mary Mills Nee Howard.
They had 2 children Vera and Mary while living in Australia.
John died in 1954 in Chatswood NSW. on the record i have found in the NSW BMD his parents where listed as Daniel and Mary Jane.
Now this is where i become baffled, I cannot find a birth Record for John Mills.
On the 1891 census he is living with his Grandfather (Daniel and wife Jane) in Barnet (aged 7)
on the 1901 census he is living in Barnet with His Grandfater (Daniel and wife Jane) (aged19)
I cannot find him in 1911 and i know he was in England until August 17th, I have found 1 potential record, but thats has confused me further, another piece of the puzzle to put together but not my main concern at the moment.
I had always assumed in the absense of a birth record that his father was John Mills b1866, Son of Daniel and Jane.
John (the assumed father) Married Mary Ann Burtenshaw in 1888 and had 2 children
But after finding his death record in 1953 with Father listed as Daniel and mother Mary Jane I am not so sure anymore. I am beginning to wonder if in fact it was Johns sister Mary Jane that had a son out of Wedlock, and or he was bought up beliveing his grandparents where his parents.
Any help or thoughts would be wonderful as I am now going round in circles with this one and would like to figure this out finally.
