William Banks.William married Anne.

Thought I should let you know after a bit of research, that Ruth
Banks ( wife of William Freshwater) was born in Campbelltown in
Australia. The other daughter Ruth that was born in Cambridgeshire
died in 1852 before the Banks family came to Australia. William and
Ann Banks had 2 children after they arrived, Ruth b1858 and John
b1860 Penrith. Sadly John died at 4 years in Penrith. This makes Ruth
only 18 years when married.
