I have now taken the Australian COOMBE family back a few more generations in Cornwall UK to 1640 Lezant where Thomas COOMBE married 19 Feb 1671 Joan ?( Fiche FP124/1/01)
There are 3 dynasties of this line in Australia and associated with the gold rush.

His brother :
Benedictus COOMBE set up at Clunes Victoria. A nephew
James Knight COOMBE set up at the gold fields Gympie Qld.
Others worked at the mines at Moonta South Australia.
Anyone wishing the family tree etc please contact by email.
