I know the Burrell family were in Adelaide 1855-7 because two of the children were born there. I don't know when they went out there; however, the family was back in England by 1859 for the birth of their daughter. Can any of you good people find them in the record prior to the 1861 census? In fact I can't find them in 1871 either, so they're a bit of a mystery.
