   Hi     Wendy,        Thank you for your information,I am sorry but I don't think they fit in. I have since discovered that he did have a brother Henry born 1864 and two sisters Elizabeth born 1866 and Mary born 1870.  William was married in Melbourne Victoria to a Elizabeth Power in 1892,but I cannot find any details of his birth,perhaps he may not have been registered. Thank you for you interest.
