I know nothing about Australian records!
Have just had a hot match on GR, who tells me that my man and his wife went to Australia, which explains why I cannot find them in 1891.
They returned to England, he died and by 1901 his widow has remarried.
Their children were born in the UK - they left them with grandparents - and judging by their ages, the couple left England about 1886 and had returned by 1893 at the very latest - widow remarries in 1894.
Is there any way of tracing them in OZ? I would like to know when and where they went (and why!).
My GR contact seems reluctant to divulge the information. Possibly because she is not interested in my side of the family and I therefore have nothing to exchange.
