Hello. Lancelot Hudson was the brother of one of my ancestors. As such, I have his wife Isabella Wilkinson and her sister, Emma, in my tree. I'm not sure if you've solved this by now, but I'll happily share the information I have researched:
Emma was living with her sister in 1851 in Sunderland. She's listed as unmarried but I think this may be incorrect. I don't have the marriage certificate for them, but I'd be tempted to go with the marriage in St John's in Newcastle 1845 as opposed to the one in London, as there is also a Robert (from Hoxton, whereas the 'right one' was from Sunderland) and Emma Ord living in Shoreditch in 1851.
Their children were Elizabeth Bussell Ord (b. 1845, Bishopwearmouth), Emma Maria Ord (b. 1849, Hetton-le-Hole) and Adah Isabella Ord (b. 1851, Houghton-le-Spring).
In 1856, Robert married Mary Ann Goddin in London and their children were Robert (b. abt 1857, Bow) and William (b. abt 1860 Stoke Newington).
In 1861, Robert and his family were living in Shepperton and he was a manager of rope factory.
In 1871, they were living in Islington where Robert is listed as a shipowner.
Elizabeth married John Richardson, a shipping agent's clerk from Sunderland, in 1867 in the Rotherhithe area. Emma married John Thomas Outwin, a wine and spirit merchant from Yorkshire, in 1878 in the Eastry area. Robert also married a third time (though I don't know the maiden name of that wife) and had more children.
As for Robert's parents, he was from the Ord family of shipowners of Sunderland. He was the son of Errington Bell Ord (1799-1863) and Elizabeth Bussell Ash (1798-1862). I took a picture of his parents grave (well, more like a crypt) in Bishopwearmouth Cemetery. Let me know if you'd like a copy.
I hope all of this helps.
P.S. I knew nothing of the link with Australia, so thanks for that.
