Ros, you are a star. So much detail.  I would never have found it without you.  Also a bonus - in looking at the cemetery records I see that George's sister, Sarah Anne, is also buried with them - I knew she went to Australia too but had no idea what became of her. I assume she went out with him and then died aged only 20.  So, two birds with one stone.

I did not know about the last 2 children - am pleased to see one called Rhodes - it being very much a family name still, even though he must have died young.  I wonder if we can find the other children's birth/marriages?

So exciting all this!
