Hi Lib. On the 1851 Cenus at Elizabeth is with her unmarried children. Ten years after this her son John was sponsored by his brother in law John Thomas Sloman and arrived in Aus 16 May 1861 on the "Nile". John (actually called Jimmy like his father) never married. So I feel Betty either lived on with her unmarried dau Elizabeth or she died. Unfortunately while the Milverton death register is supposed to go up to 1890, it goes from I think Feb 1860 then March 1890. So either a big gap or a mistranscription and only to 1860. The Betsey you found in 1841 married to Benjamin the publican isn't mine. I think Betsey in the Censuses of 1861 and 1871 are the publican's wife, not my ag lab James wife. I don't think my ancestor would have property, but the publican's wife would.
