Dear Susan,
Emma Needs' Father William Needs born 1829 married or partner is Mary Hellings. William was my GG Grandfather and unfortunately I haven't been able to gather much information on him, except when he came to Australia and he died in 1868 from an accident at work in South Australia. I have been trying to find baptism or marriage records to find out who is parents were but have had no success. Have you been able to find any other info. I know you posted this a long time ago but hopefully you might have some info. Kathy
