Looking for information of John Forks and Sarah Quinn arrived in Australia before 1878 when they were married. John is from England Sarah Ireland finding it very hard to follow with the different spellings of the Surname changing.

His father was Samuel Faux and Samuel's children all had their names spelt differently then when John had children they were all spelt either Fawkes or Forkes. I think it all depended on which official was writing the name for them. I know it's a headache.
