I was a little unsure of the N/Z in your message as Tasmania is part of Australia. I've looked at the AVRI for Tasmania and there is no mention of a Henry Prestige
There are 2 Prestige marriages pre 1900
Ann 1852
Elizabeth 1897

The only births with this name -  1876 to 1896 were the children of
William Prestige and Mary Jane Hooper.
There is a Henry Prestidge died 1882 in WA - parents unknown.

The AVRI doesn't cover SA (Adelaide) so perhaps the births you are looking for occurred there.

:)Hi Trish, thanks for the reply. That Henry might be My GG/Grandfather. I know he was there because a lady e-mailed me from N/Z and said that I was related to her. Her GGG/Grandfather was my GG/ Grandfathers brother. She never wrote back anymore. As I said in my mail Henry Sailed from Adelaide 25/03/1841.
I know he was a sheep farmer and owned a farm, but I don't know where. I know there are lots of Prestidges in N/Z is there any Land registry records that I could look through?. And can I access them on the net?.

Yours Mick
