Thanks very much for your replies.
It's been a few years since i worked solidly on my parents' trees but i still do episodic housekeeping and its amazing to me just how thoughtful contributors are in this work - sometimes it's remarkable the efforts that some have gone to.  I am so pleased and grateful.
I've a hospital typed report on Harry Mowat Hamilton Miles' death in the Kimberley.  I too hold that it was only after he died there that his sons organised the emigration of Agnes and her 3 young daughters to Melbourne, where i think there were some family there ie her sons; though that is a somewhat confusing area to ascertain.  The eldest son i think worked with the Freemasonry Lodge to which i think Harry belonged in order to finesse the transportation for Agnes, my Grandmother and the two younger girls.
I know of the 1903 Melbourne census and i i have a good deal on them, although it's never enough in some cases!
Again, many thanks for your thoughtful work.
Kind regards,
Julie,
Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.
