Thank you all enormously for your help.
I think where I went wrong here was that Isaac had a ticket of leave from 1848 which I believed restricted him but, although I had the docs, I did not realise the significance of the conditional pardon in 1949, which lead me to be looking after his certificate of freedom for his first travel.
Judb: Thanks, yes Isaac Tyler and Minnie were his son and daughter-in-law
johngirl: Yes I have seen that link but Isaac and his brother seem to have given rise to lots of family history researchers, but nobody that I have come accross has mentioned the gold rush connection.
Thank you all again for your help.

TYLER Isaac  Steerage    Yarra Yarra    28 Sep 1852    Launceston to   Melbourne    
Moffatt    Conditional pardon       POL220/1/2 p176

He certainly wasn't at the diggings for years as he married Mary BURNS on 30 Aug 1853 at Westbury. I think it is generally accepted that the Vic gold rush was from around Jul 1851 to the 1860's.

OP have you checked the locations of the births of the children?
