ROEBUCK FamilyCOMPLETED

[Mumsie2131]

I have a William Roebuck born Yorkshire 1840 died Australia 1891 he was married to Harriet Coombs.  I have no idea if they had any children but as I am coming to Brisbane to see my son & his family later this year I thought it would be a good idea to try to discover
1    if he had any children and
2    if there are other Roebucks from Yorkshire in Aus to whom I may be related.

(William was my 1st cousin 3 times removed)

Thanks everyone, that's amazing - especially as my son lives in Brisbane - he is off line at the moment but I may enlist his help in the search.
I have saved both web-sites are there any more I should know about.

I've done some more research in this country and have found out they were still in the UK in 1881 - they're on the census with 1 child on the previous census they had 3, they aldest wasold enough to get married but the other one must have died.
His wife was born in Guernsey one of the Channel Islands and she was there in 1861 living with her parents but I can't find William.
