Well so far I can't find him again so he may have come out as a young man.

I've found a possible Martin in 1861 therefore not all the family came out.

1861:
Ellen Manning abt 1845 Stafford, Yorkshire, England Servant Castle Church, Staffordshire

Image is born Sheffield. I wonder if she went back to her mother's home? [If this is the same Ellen, but it is a coincidence.]

So this looks like his family & I'm pretty sure that he may have moved to Oz on his own as a young man, probably after 1871. Does that fit in with births of children?
