Thanks Sarah.
Yes, the two boys seem to be institutionalised possibly after Elizabeth died. For whatever reason is a mystery. Their father went to Australia where he had several wives and a large family of which I descend from. One of the boys, Joseph also went to Australia. I have no idea what happened to the other boy.
I have the death info for Elizabeth and have it parked as a very credible piece of information. However, I have NO evidence it is actually hers except for the time and place.
I thank you for helping.
