Hi
His wife's name is Annie Robson if that helps.( from new GRO index son John Hugh Lishman Gateshead June 1874.)
They married Hexham Dec 1868
Daughter Annie  Maria Mar 1883 Lanchester Durham and sorry I've run out of time to look for others.
A family tree  on Ancestry gives parents Hugh and Annie Lishman nee Snowball.

George Lishman b 1847 Bucks Neck , Ovington part of Prudhoe?

Bucks Nook isn't in Ovington, which is in Northumberland.
It was in the Parish of Ryton, township of Ryton Woodside in County Durham (as ciderdrinker has pointed out, George's birth was registered in Gateshead RD.)

Thats a wow!
My dad thought about going to Australia in 1950/60s for £10 but chickened out.
George was a pioneer. Ann Robson (Annie) was our GGGF sister. So John Hugh Lishman was named after her Dad & his dad. And yes it looks as if everything will Snowball

Try  searching  for him  and Annie in the Australian records on Familysearch (as Gadget has posted while I was typing) which suggest he died in Rutherford in 1920. Also try Trove newspapers (see below).

This is, I think, Annie's death notice"  Newcastle Morning Herald" Sat 27 Jan 1940(nb  Newcastle in NSW!)

On18th Jan at her daughter's residence, Hall Street,Heddan Greta,Ann,relict ofthe late  George Lishmanof East Greta,dearlybeloved mother of Bella (Mrs J Hind,England),Winnie ( Mrs  A Stagg,Tamworth), Maggie (Mrs R Logan,Heddon Greta) Eva ( Mrs A Watt,Lambton) age 91 years.

And on Sat 5th Feb 1821 (same paper)

In Memoriam

A tribute of love to the memory of our dear husband and father George Lishman who passed away at East Greta 5th Feb 1920.... (Inserted by his  loving wife Annie and daughters Bella (England), Winnie,Maggie and Eva.

Looks as though it was George,Annie, Winifred  and son John who emigrated toAustralia(where two further daughters were born,Margaret and Eva). Isabella has stayed in England and married a Mr Hind.

Interesting in that George changed his place of birth a few times.
Newcastle NSW in the end
A gutsy move
