Trying to find Clay

I am trying to track down some information on CHARLOTTE BEESTON who was born in Australia somewhere around 1900. Her mother, ELIZA CLAY, died when she was 9 and her father remarried 7 years later to a younger woman. Her father, RICHARD BEESTON, worked as a sawyer at a sawmill and they settled at Killarney, near Warwick in Queensland Australia. Her father came to Australia in 1886 on the Quetta, followed several months later by his wife on the MacKerra. Their first child, RICHARD MacKERRA was born on the ship. Eliza Clay's father, WILLIAM CLAY, came from Preece, near Crewe. Eliza's mothers name was ANN AUSTIN. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate dates and events and further family. If anyone could assist, that wold be fantastic! Many thanks, Jenni
