The eldest child is OH's direct relative. I found him on ancestry's London records and then found 2 more in Middlesex. There was an odd gap in the births which I couldn't fill.
I don't know when OH's relative came to Australia but he could have been on the 1841 census so I started checking. Couldn't find anything on the 1841 but then I found the sister Ella living with another sister I knew nothing about in 1861. The new sister was born in Surrey. The other children came from there. It also helped to realise the alternative spelling of Payn.
Thomas was a cutter in Merton. the London entries didn't have an occupation.
