Apparently William and Frances are my Gr Gr Gr Gr grandparents.
Information I have is:
Daughters Mary Jane and Sarah May arrived in Australia about 1848/9 on the 'Earl Grey'.
Martha Anne stayed in Ireland.

Sarah May married Richard Gore (also an Irish emmigrant) and had 9 children, most famous
of which were Mary Jane Gore, Martha Ann Gore (my great great grandma), and Wilhelmina. These three sisters made model farm animals out of beeswax and fur, examples are on display in various national Galleries. For example:

Any additional information about William Nelson would be appreciated. There is a family legend that he was related to Lord Nelson, but I am thinking that this was fanciful thinking...
