The young girl looks around 12 years old to me.
I think she looks a little more mature - perhaps closer to 15 years.

You could be right.  :-\

There is also the family of James EGGINS at Alumny Creek

James and Mary Ann had the following children:
1869  Elisha
1870  Ernest Edgar
1872  Francis B
1873  James Arthur
1875  Walter
1876  George
1877  Ida
1878  Lily H J
1880  Emily May
1881  Mary Ann

I'm not very good at dating photographs, Neale's suggestion of putting on the dating board is a good idea. The young girl looks around 12 years old to me.

Well found GR2, I spent quite some time yesterday pouring over old maps looking for it, but didn't see this one.  :)

Australia / Re: Census and immigration

Generally speaking the Australian census records that exist and are available are not as useful as those of the UK or USA. This gives a good overview:

The National Archives of Australia is a good source to start with for immigration

What names are you looking for? We may be able to help.  :D

Do you know what was John's occupation? It certainly is tricky with a common name.

I'm assuming neither of the parents turn up with or near children in the 1841 census?

I did wonder last night whether the first word of the 2nd page was the same as the signature.  :-\
