A death date of 1910 aged 75 gives a birth year of c1835
Married in 1855 aged 30 gives a birth year of 1825

John Cribb died in 1833
Jane would have been aged between 48 and 58 when he was born and there would have been between 18 and 28 years between John and his sister.

Hi Leanne, I haven't been back on Geni for a long time.
Regarding Richard Cribb alias Camden I think I was among if not the first of local researchers to identify him as Richard Cribb who died at Redfern in 1910.
However I wasn't able to find who his
parents were. Others researching at the time pointed out that he had changed his age for
his marriage to Elizabeth Jones as he was quite a lot younger than her.
Both withheld and changed facts on their various registrations etc over the years.
I think his birth at 1835 would be more accurate. His father was stated as John, but which
one and who was his mother? I left off there to research others in my tree.
There was some connection to George Cribb, butcher at The Rocks I think and a Cribb
gang in England.
Kind regards, Susan.

Thanks Susan
I will disconnect him from John Cribb and Jane Starkey
