Thanks I will look, I know his birth date varies...He may of arrived in 1840 according to info from the historical society doc in MaCarthur, Victoria Australia. (have not found a entry so far) I also found a entry in a local book called "BORING - NOT LIKELY", written by Simone Dalton which states it is thought he went back to London to go to University his obit states in 1907 he was 86 ???

He was baptised 26.8.1828 so where did you get 1823 as his birthyear?  No birthdate shown on baptismal record

His birthdate was 15 March 1823 per the original baptism register.

He was 86 in 1907, this is from his will, death notice and marriage.....

From university college London website, they founded the first engineering courses in the uk in 1841, at that time civil and mechanical  engineers were seen as one profession.
