Ellen Keast South Australia

[Trees]

I know James Johns PHILLIPS went to australia onboard the Lady Milton in 1865. He travelled with his wife Johanna nee KEAST and baby son also James. I have found an on line tree which shows that Johanna died in  1879 Cross Roads, Moonta, South Australia, Australia and that James then married her sister Ellen in 1881 Moonta, South Australia.
I would like to confirm these facts and find when Ellen went to Australia I wonder if other members of her family also wentwith her.
I will be very grateful for any help you can give me.

Many many thanks
Now I wonder did James's older brother William also go to Australia He married in 1856 James was a witness I have him on the 1861 census then the family disappear will look through Trove and report back.

Trees,
If you are wishing for assistance in searching for William in Australia, it would be advisable to give more information.

We do not know,
Parents
Full name
Birth date
Spouse
And so on.

Some in the Australian forum have resources not available online.
