Thank you all for making an effort. I told Erato that posting my message elsewhere without the posting it was responding to would confuse. It has confused. The newspaper article attached to the original posting -
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/92468353 - clearly stated that Andrew went to America. Maybe he returned later to Australia but I've not seen any hint of that. I'm almost certain he was not buried at Dubbo or near Euroa where there is a museum devoted to his mother. And there's no sign of him in the 1881 US census -

Maybe he went somewhere else, perhaps Argentina, where there have been a number of Forlongs recorded. I don't know how to translate this to a USA forum, but if one of you experts can do it I'll be able to pursue it there.
Well, I take it that you are interested in the surname Forlonge in Australia. I know nothing about Forlonges or Australia. What you could do, though, is rewrite your message and post it on the Australia board. Include the surname in the title so that people will take note and you could include a link to this thread if you think that would be useful.
To get to the Australia board, click on 'Forum' at the top of this page and then go down about 3/5 of the way and you'll see Australia. Click there and then click on new topic and write your message. There are plenty of Australians about so you should get a fast reply.
Topic split off and moved to Australia , link added to TOT board.
