Our John Herman VEEN married Mary PAUL in Victoria 1860.
He said he was born in Leer [ ?] Germany and was the son of John VEEN and Angelina maiden name S[?]ena.
He was living 1870 in Woods Point Victoria, and Sydney NSW where he died 1881.
There was a Threodore VEEN living quite close too in Matlock, Victora but we dont know if they were related or not.
Also there was one Henry VEEN living in 1890 , at 152 Arden st North Melbourne again in business in 1897 VEEN & Co (John H) cigar manufacturer and importer.who lived at pr [ private residence] 35 Havelock St. St Kilda.Melbourne.
Can anyone tell us if he had siblings in Australia or Germany ? and perhaps how one would locate a baptism in leer Germany? many thanks
