Hi Clarrie  ;D
 
Do you want census information? I have found Stephen, Hannah and children on the 1841 census, so can post you the info if you would like.

Best wishes
Rowena

Hi Rowena

That is really great. Thanks.

Stephen jr. came to Australia mid 1800s but we don't know much about the rest of the family.

Oh. Eliza married Joseph Prosser.  We know that.
