Re descendants of above - see archives.tas.gov.au/Pioneers and find George T.Bossward or Harriet Wellman. Their children reference your (unnamed) G/mother 1881 and my G/mother Elizabeth Jane 1861.

My grandmother Florence Maud Bossward born June 8th 1881 in Tasmania, she was the daughter of George Thomas Bossward and Harriet Wellman and emigrated to New Zealand sometime before she married Edward Beach in Palmerston, South Island, New Zealand in 1909. I have never known why she came seemingly on her own, but I now wonder if she was disinherited by her family.
I was googling  "Bossward Tasmania" and I have just seen on a website about a war cemetery in Kanchanaburi with a Bossward death, warrant officer, died 26th December 1943, aged 24, he was the son of a Samuel Royden Bossward and Florence Maud Bossward. that was the name of my grandmother and she was not the mother of this unfortunate soldier.
I am suddenly curious as to why there were two Florence Maud Bossward's from Tasmania. I do not know the age of this other Florence, but she was the mother of a 24 year old in 1943.
I would be interested to hear from anyone descended from George Bossward and Harriet Wellman.
Any ideas anyone.
