ok who ate the rest of my post lol?

They apparently went to Australia, I do think it was only Frederick (B 1856), Esther B 1856 (Formerly Leah)and the children who went,Edith, Harriet, John and Marian...If Thomas went this wouldnt have been untill later

I know this ones a long shot as I dont know where they landed.
