Wonder if Henry was related, eg, brother to Thomas Branston who was the licensee of the Studley Arms Hotel in Wellington St Melbourne in 1861?

Hi Merlin,
Many thanks for all the info you have sent. The Hannah being on the Irish Famine Memorial was quite interesting as I was looking at the list yesterday for other members of my family and saw the name but didn't think anything of it!
Thank you so much and it's very appreciated :)
