Hi Alan
You're very welcome! Thank you for the kind response though!
It's lovely to get feedback!
If you like I can check the baptisms but I'll read back up the thread and see if there's anything you can't get in Australia.
The trip over sounds really exciting. UYou'll be able to see all these places!
I wonder if there are any indications of a place in Egremont anywhere?
By the way, my own gg grandfather went over to Victoria, three years before your lot. He definitely went for a job as it had been offered him before he left , but it may have been the lifestyle or ambition.
Although they lost one child still born when they first got there, they had five more healthy children including my ggrandfather, all of whom made it back to England nine years or so later when he himself was ill. Meanwhile my ggrandmother's family whop stayed in Lancashire had umpteen children but she watched five tiny siblings die by the age of five.
Australia was definitely kinder than that to them even with the sea voyage!
Good luck with the search!
Best wishes
Emms
