Hello
Do you have any other information.
This could be her
1891
Langley Common Newland Wokingham Berkshire
Says they were all born in Overton Hampshire except Thomas and Mary
Charles Venn 45 Wheelwright
Elizabeth " 32
Charles " 11
Frances J " 9
Dick " 7
Annie " 5
Thomas " 4 Heckfield Hampshire
Mary " 1 Berkshire
Charles Soper 35 widow lodger
Can look on other census if you think this is her. Thomas might be more difficult because of common name.

Hi Chook,
There are around thirty Thomas Fowlers to choose from without knowing the place of birth. Can you give any further details, ie County, village etc? I think that the Australian death record will say where he was born.
