Don't know about Australian records but won't the marriage cert give some details of his father ?

hi

I am helping a friend research her tree and am desperately trying to find information on John Sundah born 11/4/1877 in India John married Janet Kinnersly in 1919 in Warnabool Victoria and he died 3 Feb 1960 in Ararat Victoria.

John and Janet had 2 children that I have been able to find Dorothy May born 1922 and John Kenneth born 1919 both in Geelong Victoria.

I would love to find any information about John's immigration to Australia as well as his parents and siblings if at all possible

Thanks heaps Kerryn (Queensland Aus)
