Thank you everyone.

MarieCeleste, your entry (death of William Nancarrow) corresponds closely to William's age.

If this William was Isabella's husband then the 1928 William Narcarrow was not connected.

However, if the Narcarrow was Nancarrow travelling between NSW and WA (I know writing was often difficult to decipher) then Mrs Narcarrow travelling with two children under 12 would have to be their grandmother as Isabella would have been 62 in 1912.

My money's on William who died age 32 in 1880 in SA.

Thank you, again.

Would anyone be able to tell me whether Isabella Nancarrow (b Isabella Harland in 1850 at Durham) and William Nancarrow (born abt 1847 at Liskeard, Cornwall) emigrated, please?

The family's lost track of them and can't find them beyond the 1871 Census when they were living with Isabella's father Thomas Harland and her brother Cutter Harland.

One or two descendants of Thomas believe Isabella and William emigrated to Australia but they're by no means sure.

Any help or a prod in the right direction would help.
