Can anyone please help! Ive been searching for any connection to my ancestor Henry Whitby Jepsons parents. Been seaching through the boards at Ancestry and found Richard Parsonage Jepson born c1812 in Wellingborough brother of Henry Whitby mentioned in a thread. I knew birthplace-Wellingborough,Northamptonshire and parents John Jepson and Mary. The parents matched and birthplace for Richard and one of the threads mentioned Henry W Jepson. It said on the thread that Richard Parsonage Jepson moved and married an Australian woman-Catherine Collins(nee Foran) and lived in Victoria-Australia where he had 2 sons.
Can anyone help with this and does anyone have records for Australia-census and could look this up for me?
Any help would be so much appreciated been stuck on this for a while and finally have a breakthrough!

It is a hideously annoying site. You have to click from there through about 4 pages to get to the search form.

I searched for death -- Richard Jepson, and got this:

You may view 2 matching records as 1 separate pages.
Each result page not previously viewed in this session will cost $ 0.99 to view.

-- don't know what the date(s) is/are, but it might be worth the dollar to check it out.

I got the same result on a search for death -- Catherine Jepson, so it looks promising.

have you been in touch with sian who wrote the original message in 2005? - if you click on her name it gives you her email address - she may have more info since writing that message.

you could do the same with gavan - address again at ancestry by clicking on name.

gavan and sian's email addresses are australia based - they may be from that line.
