Arthur was the brother of my paternal great grandfather, Sam Dean.
Arthur was born March qtr 1868. Census says Hoyland, registration district Barnsley (England and Wales FBMD).
I have located him on the 1871, 1881 and 1891 census. Parents are Thomas Dean (with an (e) in the 1891 census) and Sarah Evans.
My mother spoke about an Uncle of my paternal grandmother living in Australia. Arthur is the only male sibling of my gt grandfather I cannot locate.
There is an entry on Ancestry of an Arthur Dean aged 27, sadler departing London 20 September 1895. Date of birth abt 1868, Ship Austral.
There is a record of Arthur Dean, labourer arriving Sydney on the Austral 2 November 1895. I have searched Ancestry and state records - lots of Arthur Dean's but no clue to link to my Arthur.
There is a Fred Ibbotson listed below Arthur on the outgoing manifest - he is 23 and a miner. Arthur came from a mining family and a mining area. Not sure relevance of this. He becomes Fred Ibbotson labourer on the incoming manifest. 1891 has a Fred Ibbotson, miner, living in Hoyland so I think they may have come out together. I have tried to find Fred in Australia but nothing to lead me to him.
Any help appreciated. Thank you
