I found a tree on family search
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01u8l/
and had a look at the sources for William; there is a Buenos Aires Census 1869 sourced which looks like the 3 brothers together, census image

Thank you
willsy! That 1869 Census is a fantastic find. It perfectly matches the siblings we saw in the 1851 UK Census.
A few interesting details I noticed in that image:
The Ages: They match perfectly with the birth years we found for Henry (c. 1832), Joseph (c. 1834), and William (c. 1841).
- Henry’s Status: He is listed as a Widower (V - Viudo). This suggests he might have married and lost his wife before 1869, possibly in England or shortly after arriving in Argentina.
- Occupation: They are all listed as 'Hacendados' (Landowners/Ranchers), which aligns with the social standing of a Solicitor’s family.
This confirms that the brothers emigrated together (or followed each other) to establish themselves in the cattle business.
Since they were 'Hacendados' by 1869, I suspect there might be land records or a probate file (succession) in Argentina. I am currently contacting local archives in
La Pampa and
Guaminí to find William's death record.
Thank you again for linking the family so clearly!
