Just logged on and missed all the fun.
Marquette: First born son of John McCrohon and Emily Banham was John Patrick Mccrohon born Portugal 25-Jul-1827.
No, the DuCroix parents did not come to Australia. We don't even know if DuCroix was Emily's surname.
When the marriage record was found for John McCrohon and Emily Banham it was the first anyone knew that DuCroix was not her name. Julie and I had hoped that the certificate would give a clue if she was single or a window. If a widow then there is a chance that DuCroix was her maiden name.
I am convinced that this is their marriage, especially as John was just back from the West Indies and the first born came alone in just over a year after the regiment was sent to Portugal.
If the certificate says that Emily Banham was 'of the Parish' then she was from St Thomas Winchester. That is a clue. Back to the Hampshire records.
