Sarah married John Henry BEST [image] son of Henry BEST and Mary FLYNN on 28 Jun 1873 in Trinity Church, Adelaide. John was born on 19 Jul 1848 in Sydney. He was christened on 14 Aug 1848 in Parish of Alexandria, Paddington, NSW. He died on 9 Sep 1921 in Mental Hospital Parkside. He was buried on 10 Sep 1921 in West Terrace Cemetery. John was employed as Tinsmith, Plumber& Ironworker.
His birth was registered at Alexandria, Paddington NSW, but listed on his undertakers notes as being born at sea.
Family stories vary about John Henry being the first baby born in Australia to the first baby living in the Victoria Barracks in Sydney. The latter being a reasonable assumption as John Henry was born around the time his Father Henry arrived from Norfolk and stayed at the Barracks. Whether he was actually born there or just the first baby to reside there is unclear.
John Henry was 24 yrs old at time of his marriage. He was a tinsmith, iron worker, gasfitter and plumber learning his trade at Simpsons.
In 1894 John took some of his children to Ramco, a new village settlement near Waikerie. Notes from his daughter Florence suggest the 2 oldest children (Henry & Mary Agnes) had left home and the youngest (Walter) had been raised for 3 years by his aunt Agnes Ludemann, but then went with John to Ramco. The book on Waikerie lists John Henry with 4 children at Ramco. We know that Charles and Florence were there, but Henry, Mary.A were not. That leaves 2 children not accounted for, it's possible the number was taken after the death of Charles in 1898 and did not take into account young Walter who may have spent some of his early years in the care of his aunt Mary Anne Morgan.
John Henry was supposedly to marry a single mother sent from Adelaide named Ada CROSSMAN, however it's said she was so unimpressed with conditions at Ramco she left.Sources:
