nhartigan50 on 2016-02-21 16:03:42I would suggest you search the NZ BDM website. You should find the birth registration for Sarah Pentecost and the marriage registration for Sarah & John. I would also purchase their marriage certificate to confirm both sets of parents.
Then I would search the NSW BDM for births and deaths. So far I have found four likely children.
It looks like Sarah and Frances came back to NZ as I have found a death entry for Sarah Annie and a marriage entry for a Vera Frances.
By searching the two websites a story does unfold but I don't want to ruin your pleasure of searching. Two other sites that are helpful are Papers Past, for searching NZ newspaper entries and Trove for searching Australian newspaper entries.
Have fun searching and good luck
