Hi Neville
Just found this on the IGI...... it might be your connection
John Roberts Symonds m Mary Williams 04 Oct 1863 Constantine, Cornwall, England (Both age 23) John's father was Nicholas Symonds. It is an extracted record so it should be reliable
The Cornish OPC has a full parish record of the marriage. Jane's christening is also on the OPC

I also found the following children for parents Edward & Mary Williams in Breage, Cornwall on the IGI (Family Search)
Bessey Williams 6 march 1851
Alice Williams age 1, 13 July 1851
Jane Williams 26 Dec 1853
Orpah Williams 26 Dec 1853
I then looked on the census

Thanks Fiona & Sandy,
The OPC marriage of John & Mary looks to be the one I am searching for. Mary's father is shown as John Williams which ties in to the birth record for Elizabeth Sarah Simmonds Williams born to Jane Williams.
I think this rules out Edward and Mary as parents.
Fiona - you mentioned Jane's christening is also on the OPC. I can't find it. Can you please send details.
Regards
Neville

Hi Neville
Do you have a death record for either Mary of Jane? My South Australian death records only go to 1915 and I couldn't find them there. Hopefully that would clear up the mystery of who their fathers are.

Hi Fiona & Sandy,
Many thanks for the help you are giving me in my searching.
Jane Hann (nee Williams) died 26.1.1919 at Campbelltown SA. Details given to me in May 2009 by the Research Co-ordinator for SAGHS:
District of Norwood
wife of John Edwin Hann
birthplace Cornwall
resident of Commonwealth for 50y
age at marriage 20y
I took this info to be the full record, meaning mother & father were not included. I did not get the Death Certificate.
Just to confuse the matter further - the IGI Individual Record shows Jane Bennett Williams as the name with the correct marriage & date of death. One of her 13 children had the name Bennets Hann. I have a John Williams 1830-1874 m. Ann Bennetts 1831 at Saint Merryn on 5/10/1852.
Merry Christmas
Neville
