Thanks everyone for your prompt replies. I have tried the Australian newspapers there is a lot to get through but will keep looking :) As far as I know Walter was born in Leicester. It looks like Hannah was married to Henry Fox (farmer) I assume he died out n Australia and Hannah returned to England with the children remarried Mr Norton but in the 1881 census she is on her own with the children has her second husband died?

So you already have that info(and more) from 2014  ;D

The names Hannah and Ann (ie) are interchangeable of course.

Taking into account the information you already have from your previous thread, this is probably the marriage of Hannah in NSW where all related events appear to have taken place,

1924/1859 FOX   Henry
To LOADS   Hannah
At GOULBURN

There is a mistranscription somewhere along the line where LOUIS and LOADS have been confused.

This is probably the death of Hannah's husband

4226/1866 FOX   Henry
Father Henry
DIED GOULBURN
GOULBURN

Hi Wivenhoe,
A lot of information is on the previous thread just linked by the OP above.
I suggest you look at it before extending yourself to further searching ;D
