Thanks gibbo.

I have an unusually large number of Methodists in my tree, mostly Wesleyan and rarely Primitive. :biggrin:

There is probably a death for a child George, the one on the passenger list, as another son born in 1858 is named George.

How curious re his father John. Googling 'Rev. J Leadley' gives very few hits and nothing about him in England.

Florence Matilda Crozier
Christening Date 14 Jan 1866
Christening Place Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia
Father's Name Elias Crozier
Mother's Name Ann


That's an error with William as father's name so the informant assumed 2nd spouse was the children's father.

That's the only place Ann has a middle name Jane if she did remarry. No birth in NSW for an Ann J.

We have no parents for Ann FRYER or birth/baptism yet.

We are also missing a birth in Victoria around 1857 for Elias junior:

Rev. Elias Crozier, word of whose sudden death at Mudgee was received on Friday evening, was a native of Victoria
as well as the death before 1858 for George born England.

So many Ann Fryer's, i was hoping the 1851 census might have had another Fyer family member with them to make it easier to find the right birth for Ann.
