I have just embarked on my maternal grandmother's family which although at first light looked very daunting - she had 18 uncles and aunts - I am extremely reliably informed by my mother that my grandmother only had one cousin and she had no children! So that's that generation done! Whisk backs to 2xG grandfather's siblings. It appears that this family like the 'odd' middle name so I'm having some fun there.
However brother Septimus seems to have diasppeared probably to Oz as on family history online he comes up as an insolvent in Geelong in 1863 and 1864. (In my naivety I'm making the assumption (bad word!) that there were not lots of Septimus Moxons around!)
I've tried looking on the Victoria site but it keeps crashing on me so I have no idea when he and his wife Emma went over or whether they had children.
Septimus Moxon was born in Hull in 1824 and married Emma Gould in St Mary le Strand Westminster on 28/7/1851.
If anybody could give me a push in the right direction as to where else I look for Australian info I'd be grateful. I get lost in the wiki! (Bear of meagre brain me!)
Many thanks
