Matilda's family in 1861
RG 9; Piece: 2184; Folio: 14; Page: 22


Edward Plant   46  Frying Pan Maker    Birmingham, Warwickshire
Maria Plant     47                              Birmingham, Warwickshire
Maria Plant          15                              Birmingham, Warwickshire
Resehannah Plant   12                     Birmingham, Warwickshire
Priscilla Plant   7                               Birmingham, Warwickshire
Matilda Plant   5                               Birmingham, Warwickshire

I'm afraid you are not likely to find why they left - as I said it was probably just for a better life.

Cant find anything else.

This is possibly them in 1881, if so it means they were still in England then.

that is quite possible; all my records in Australia say is they had a child in 1884 but that is Australian BDM database so they could have already had kids when they left :-) I was told there is some records for passengers on ships if they had of taken a ship...

this is the message I received from the Ancestory library in Australia:

SA Birth index lists 9 children from 1884 with father named Benjamin LOWE and an entry published in the Biographical Index of South Australia 1836-1885 (BISA) gives birthdate, place, marriage date also names wife and children who were passengers on the ship on which Benjamin arrived in SA with his family

Cant find anything else.

An online tree gives Benjamin's parents as  Benjamin Lowe 1835 – 1901 and  Emma Webb            1833 – 1910.  They dont have him after 1881.

Your Benjamin appears to have had a lot of siblings:

Benjamin Richard Lowe  1854 –
James Lowe    1857 –
Richard Lowe   1858 –
Thomas Lowe  1860 –
Henry Lowe   1862 –
William Lowe  1864 –
Ellen Lowe    1869 –
Emma Lowe  1871 –
Walter Lowe  1873 –
Alfred (Frederick) Lowe  1878 –
Ada Lowe   1880 –

There are passenger lists, but as I said they dont start from here until 1890. You might be able to find more from your end.
