Looking at generations.  In the Observer, Adelaide, Saturday 17th November, 1906 is a photo of 5 generations.  I am the same generation as the youngest in the group but nearly fifty years younger. 
James -Victoria, Australia originally from Keynsham, Somerset.
Janes - Keynsham and Bristol area.
Heale/Hale - Keynsham, Somerset
Vincent - Illogan/Redruth, Cornwall.  Moved to Sculcoates, Yorkshire; Grass Valley, California; Timaru, New Zealand and Victoria, Australia.
Williams somewhere in Wales - he kept moving
Ellis - Anglesey

On OH's side, she has Irish convicts arriving 1828/1831 on one side of the tree. On the other side, she has free settlers arriving either 1839 or 1848.

I am a first generation Oz. As I used to say at work when they tried to annoy me, I am Australian by choice, not by accident. That tended to shut up most of the pests. :D
