You should be able to find the baptisms/births and deaths on https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/indexsearch.doj   A couple of the early deaths do not have the given names so search by the year.  Identified by age and place of death.

Hi Tracey,
I am descended from James Frankfield's uncle, John Henderson.  His father James and my John were sons of Joseph Henderson (Co Down, Ireland) & Mary Jane Rennie (Co Tyrone, Ireland).  Joseph was the son of Joseph Henderson & Martha Hamilton who migrated, with most of Joesph's siblings, to the USA.
I have been tracing the Henderson family for many years and have quite a bit of information about the family both in Australia and in the USA.  I would love to share. 

Cheers,
Andrea Fitzgerald
