William Sayle became a butcher. He married Matilda Scott in 1859 (she has an interesting history which can be followed on Trove). He died of pulmonary phthisis at his home in Blackwood st North Melbourne aged 32 years. I have found his will, if you would like that sent.
Thomas (probably) died in a mining accident in 1870 near Egerton Victoria. The news report stated he had relations in Ballarat, and that 'he is brother to Mr John Sayle, squatter, Lillydaye, nr Melbourne.'
James (possibly) died 1905 (suffering from hydatids) in the Berima District Hospital in NSW. Described as a tramp, he was buried as a pauper. The NSW death reg states his father was William, his mother, Ann.
John's issue:
1. Thomas Maunsell seems to have been in a droving partnership with his brother Reginald. He was declared insolvent in Palmerston (now Darwin) in 1888. Reginald took all the horses, outfit and cash to the Kimberley, Western Australia, leaving Thomas destitute. This may have been a clever ploy, as I later picked them up gold mining in Mt Magnet WA. Thomas must have returned East as he d.14.09.1943 at 50 Bowen st Camberwell

. Reginald Athol was farewelled from Mt Magnet in 1900, heading East on the train. The newspaper said he started out overlanding as a drover, from the Clarence river NSW taking cattle through Queensland, into the Northern Territory, then on to the Kimberley gold rush, the other gold rushes in the NW of WA, then to Mt Magnet. He must have returned to WA as he married Mary Jean Jeans 4.10.1905 at Fremantle. He died 16.07 1944 in Perth, WA. No children mentioned in the obit
