Hi,
I have just come across this posting and thought that I might have some relevant information. Amelia Boland and Henry James Harper are my Great Great Grandparents. I (and a couple of other people) have been trying for several years to find out who their parents were.
From Amelia Boland's death certificate it would appear that she had been born in Stratford, Essex, England. She was 39 years old when she died in Ballarat, Vict., Australia on 15 October, 1858, having been in Australia for 10 years. Now on to Henry James Harper, from his death certificate it would appear that he was born in London, England. He was 63 years old when he died in Stawell, Vict., Australia on October 14, 1876 having been in Victoria for 25 years (he had spent some time in Sydney) His occupation was given as 'Sailor'/ 'Mariner' /'Innkeeper'
Maybe someone else out there can add something to this story.
