Hi there Jean,

Good summary!!   ?I agree with you.

Like cando said about   perhaps they had been 'home' for a visit and...... 

Could it be the ones that arrived on the Henry Gillespie 1852, arrived in Victoria,
had a few children 1854-1857, went back home and came back on Lightning in 1859.
We can only guess.

...and had another child in 1861 [the usual two year gap between births  ] and the mother Susannah died the same year.

I think all we need is the marriage cert of Joseph Powell and Susan A - well if it was my research that would be my next step.

Good outcome

Cheers
cando

Edit - Jean is this your family or are you being a kind soul and helping someone?   Just curious.

Now we have a dau Eveline's birth registered 1864 in NSW but I found a Harry OSTLER  death on free bdm.  There are only four Harry's on the transcribed deaths.
Two  are for infants and the other in 1915.

Deaths Jun 1864 
Ostler    Harry         Wisbeach    3b   416

Unless Eveline was born early in 1864 it may not be Harry William b. 1861

I saw that Wisbeach death too, Cando....but then I wondered because William Burgess Ostler was born in Wisbeach......

Just one more thing - Joseph Powell Ostler was shown as the undertaker on the death registration of John O'Meally, bushranger, who was shot at "Goimbla" in November 1863.

Now that would be an interesting little fact to have written into a family history, Jean.
