Not sure if this is of any interest or if you already are aware of this but ...

It appears that Emma's sister Catherine Cox [wife of Samuel Cox] was also in Australia, sadly dying a terrible death in 1882.

Information on Victoria’s BDM …. Very very detailed, as good as Scottish civil registrations, (perhaps better) ….

Vic BDM images can be downloaded immediately via plastic card spending ( abt $Au20 last time I checked)…
