I cannot help you with the Australian end but I can send you info and newspaper articles from the UK end for Andrew. I would love to know what happened to him because I dont believe he returned to the UK. My email is holmesedward33 at gmail.com Incidentally his birthday is 21st Aug 1831. He was born in Newcastle but his parents came from Berwick upon Tweed. The were semi-succsessful Boot and shoemakers. Heres hoping, Edward.
