BUT in 1911, Fred & Mary Jane, all their children, married and unmarried, packed their bags and emigrated to
Melbourne, Australia!
June 2002 -
They travelled out with the P & O Line, on the "S.S. Geelong"
These details are from from Maureen via the OzShips Mailing List. The date is the arrival date in South Australia
so add a few more days for Melbourne:

N.B. I have added full names in brackets.
Fred & Mary Jane's married daughter, Ethel Ann MORRIS, with her husband and children also emigrated to Australia
soon afterwards in late 1912.
Fred [Jnr]'s wife, Louisa and children, Guy & Neil, sailed out on the "Port Macquarie", arriving in April 1914.
I have just found that a Fred CAWTHORN was landlord of the "Three Tuns" Public House in the village of Doddington,
which isn't far from Chatteris - but this was in 1912.
Fred died 11 February 1946 in Sale, Victoria, Australia. Mary Jane died 7 July 1950, also in Sale, Victoria, Australia.
My everlasting thanks to David Collyer in Ballarat who, in March 2000 found the above details in
the On-line Victoria Death Indexes.
As Fred's Death Registration also gave the names of his parents - William CAWTHORN & Anne TROWER
- my first real breakthrough in trying to prove the link between Beth and myself.
