John immigrated with his parents as Assisted Immigrants in 1871, arriving in Port Keppel, QLD on board the Lammershagen, and Ethel immigrated with her widowed mother in the mid 1880s, settling in Brisbane, QLD where her mother soon remarried. John (a Labourer) and Ethel (a Book Binder) married in 1903 in Rockhampton, QLD and lived at Bajool where John was a Ganger before settling in Yeppoon where John worked as a Labourer.
