George Biddington aged 20 arrived Oct 1863 on the Theresa with Annie Biddington aged 18 and Mary Ann Biddington aged 17.

George Biddington from Gloucestershire wed 1869 #439 to Louisa Roberts who was born in Melbourne, possibly daughter of Jane Lane and Thomas Roberts. The children were born at St Arnaud, after 1880 at Beechworth. See my Victoria before 1847 List page - it is growing too much to be specific.
