Everything you say about Robert in England matches my family tree. His mother's name, is sister Mary Ann and all the dates. I'm so pleased to have tied all this information up together. My tree goes back to 1771 when Robert's three times great grandparents Robert Bye and Sarah Cotterell married in Burford Oxfordshire on 5th May 1771. Throughout the generations, all the families have worked the land but it wasn't till 1936 that my grandfather became a land owner, he bought a farm in Curbridge Oxfordshire. I still live in the village. This has been a great help to me. I will get a copy of Robert and Emily's marriage certificate if I can and post the details but I'm confident that's it's all right at the UK end. Things still look confusing at the Australia end.
