Do you know how many of the family went to Tasmania and how many, if any, stayed, and how many came back ?

Hi

I only recently found the Tasmanian connection so not sure who went and or returned. Will need to investigate.

Esther is recorded in the Censuses all the way thro' from 1871 - 1901; so if she went to Tasmania, she must have gone and returned between Censuses. Found Henry 1871 - 1911, except for 1891.

Hi emyr

I didn't find Henry on the 1901 census either. He doesn't appear to be with Ester and the children. Did you locate him somewhere else? I think I found Henry in 1891 in Yorkshire.
