I am trying to find details of Robert Embleton's marriage, children & death details in Australia. Robert's parents, Thomas (1828 Tynemouth Northumberland) and Eleanor Richardson (1832) were married in 1850 Cathedral of St Nicholas. Thomas & Eleanor emigrated to Victoria, Australia arriving July 1856 with their 3 children (Robert, Elizabeth & Mary Hannah). Thomas & Eleanor both died in Bolwarrah, Vic.

Found a death in 1931 for
EMBLETON, Robert, 79yrs
in Melb. S (Reg. No. 10711)
Father .. Thomas
Mother .. RICHARDSON, Helen...? ? Eleanor ? ?

The age puts this robert birth abt the right year, depending on whether he'd had his birthday or not.

If you buy this certificate, it should also list all his children with their ages.
It should also list "How long in the Colony" .

Hi Julie
Thank you so much for your help. I will buy the death certificate to confirm the information. Interestingly my ancestors (direct line) changed their surname spelling to Embelton, other lines in the family kept the spelling as Embleton. I have never found out which family member changed the spelling.
Kind Regards
Lyne

The info which I have given you about deaths etc in Victoria, the mother's name is Helen Richardson, which fits with the marriage which Margaret gave you.
