Hi I am not related but found for you info re Thomas and Harriet. They had wm Herbert 1875, Thomas Morgan 1876, Walter 1884, John 1887, Grace Amelia 1893, Violet Ada 1891-1891. In the 1909 electoral roll Thomas and Harriet are living at the "Billabong" Mildura Victoria and he is listed as a labourer. Regards Marion
