	Dear All. The quick response has been fantastic. I will now look to trace the Withers line back further. We have an indication that Roberts father (1823) was also a Robert but no details at this time. Thanks to all from Australia. Cheers David

	I have found today that David Withers 1855 was married twice. Trying to locate his other wife now. As Reggie has indicated could be Elizabeth Ann Massey. Robert 1823 his father is locked in and now we look to locate the ancestry beyond this. No luck so far. Cheers David

	My records show that one of David's wives was called Margaret. My mother has confirmed this. Looks like the 2nd one and Elizabeth the first.
