I am sure we did quite a lot on this family just recently for someone. Will see if I can find it.
OK, it was a previous post by Chis
http://boards.ancestry.com.au/localities.oceania.australia.q...I remember now that the boys were all jockeys, Thomas and Edward married sisters in Victoria and Thomas lost his family in a fire.
This is from my notes but I don't know if I ever posted it because it needed more research.

Married in Victoria to Alice Harriet JONES, lived Wodonga/Yackandandah/Gundowring, died in 1948, death registered Albury district NSW with parents named as Edward and Alice. His age on his headstone at Wodonga confirms his year of birth.
Thomas RHEESE born c1878, had been a jockey at Tumbarumba in NSW, married in Victoria to Cecilia Agnes JONES who was the sister of Edward RHEESE's wife Alice.
