This is George's mother Alice who had remarried and also immigrated in 1844 on the same ship as George and Thomas.

24 June 1862, Geelong Advertiser

MISSING FRIENDS, ETC.

IF this should meet the eye of George GRECIAN, stonemason, formerly of Austin street, Chillwell, North Geelong; or any one knowing his address would confer a great favor by sending it to Alice Faid, Rushcutters Bay Post Office, Sydney.


The FAID family are on the second image, George and Thomas on the second last image.

You have the whole extended family together in 1841 - the FAIDs, George and Thomas, and Alice's mother who is also Alice.

Is this young George's 25th anniversary?

No, this George was aged 85 when he died in 1946.  He was the eldest son from the second marriage to Jane.

14533 / 1861
Family name: GRESHAM
Given name(s): George
Place of event:  GEELONG, Australia
Mother's name: Jane  STEWART
Father's Name:  George

So I wonder if. Young Georgewas born in Geelong or even Australia ? My mother says that she was told that a wife and children died by drowning and she thinks it was when dissembarkingfrom a ship . She is very old and can’t remember where she heard this story .

If you look back at the first reply from Jorose, George and Isabella were married in 1850 in Victoria and their son George was also baptised in 1850 in Victoria.  George had immigrated 6 years earlier in 1844.

There does not appear to be a burial recorded for Isabella or young George in the Geelong church registers.  It is not impossible that she didn't die but instead just disappeared into the sunset.

....... on her way to be reunited with her husband George who was living in Geelong Australia.

George's death registration names his parents as George GRECIAN and Alice HILL.  He was baptised in 1819 at Ilderton in Northumberland.  He had a brother Thomas who was baptised in 1821.  They arrived into NSW together on the William Metcalfe in 1844.  That is quite a few years so it doesn't really seem likely that he and Isabella knew each other before immigration.

On George's second marriage, he was widowed in 1853 (no exact date) and had three deceased children.

These may be the sons' birth registrations and my guess is that there is no father named on either.

Mary naming her father as John instead of Joseph is probably because she had no memory of him.

This may be your Arthur in these newspaper items.  His guardian was Michael REARDON who was the licensee of the Royal Hotel in Binalong in 1884.
