John Bynon ( Bynan, Bying )
I am searching for any info on John Bynon( Bynan, Bying, Byning , these are other variations of the name through the family )
John married in Tasmania , Australia, or Van Diemans Land as it was then known.
He married in 1853 . He was aged 20 at time of marriage according to the records I could find. He married Catherine Murphy, a transported convict from Ireland.
As most of the people seemed to be illiterate at that time, I would say the name was written as it sounded through the various accents.Catherine apparently arrived on the mainland in Victoria with her daughter around 1856. I am still looking for more info on her. I cannot find any trace of John arriving in Tasmania, being born there or leaving to go to the mainland .Any help would be much appreciated.
