They had a son James Theodore, b. 1861, d 1905, who married AMY GERTRUDE POINTING, b. 1818 England (no knowledge where there yet), died 1959 in Sydney. The only son I kknow of was Alfred Henry James Veen b. 1904, died 1977 Sydney; who married MILDRED AILEEN DAVIDSON, b. 1919. d. unknown; They had three children - my brother-in-law Carl, his brother George and their sister Karen.
