I came across a relative who'd married in Ireland (Clare) around the 1860's - then she appeared to come out to Australia under her maiden name with her mother - no hubby (cant find him as yet).
But hubby advertised in paper looking for members of family - and they went on to have children together.
We may have another instance where another came out with children, but no husband, and went on to have more children with him when she arrived.
Does anyone know if it was in fact cheaper to come here as a single than married?
