George Joyce Head Unm 45 ? [25] Farmer of 4-6 acres Kilmersdon
Hariet Joyce mother widow 65 Independent Kilmersdon
Hannah Ford sister 28 Farmer's wife Kilmersdon
Sarah Florence Ford niece 2 Bath

One tree has a death for George as 24 Oct 1893, but no place.

I'd like a look up please for George in 1871 and for his death. I can only find a George born Wells married with a 16 year-old son in 1871. That does not fit.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,
http://www.dayborohistoricalsociety.com.au/img06.htm

In 1868 Ford's brother-in-law George Joyce selected another 160 acres block adjoining Portion 7 about 2 miles above Whiteside Station. Joyce did not marry and died in 1893.
2 of Thomas & Hannah's children married into local families. Mercy married Gregory McLennan and Sarah became second wife of William Henry Bond.
cheers
Val

George was in Queensland by 1868 so he arrived 1861 - 1868. I can't see him on the Assisted to NSW or to Queensland list.
