» Hello Rebecca,
»
» My interpetation of George's family, in Preston, was that he was one of 9
» children,and that may have given him good reason to leave home. (?)
» Usually speaking all people that came from overseas to Aust.in those days
» were looking for GOLD. To a certain degree the Victorian fields began to
» taper off by the late 1860's. But, rumours of Gold strikes in NZ led to a
» large number of diggers going there, from Victoria as well as from
» England.
» There was at least one other group of Marland's that I know of, who went
» from England to NZ a few years later (1879) and returned to England,
» empty-handed.
» So, I guess that George decided to try his luck in Victoia, at least
» before going home.
» George's children, registered at Sandhurst and White Hills, places him
» right in the middle of the Bendigo mining area, and it seems to me that he
» prospered there.
» I think tyhat you have the right Gothenburg!

Thank you again Ray!

Each piece of information that has been provided by you or by Cathy has allowed me to find more of my own.
I found that Marlands are burried at Avoca as you said and also Barkley which is also near Ballarat in Victoria. I will post those names and the source later.
I found this article on Emma Sunderland (nee Marland).

Also, I found quite a few Marlands on the Ancestry.com.au website but I am not sure who they all are and don't think they are my line of Marlands but they may be related to others on this forum. Will post those later too.
Looking forward to learning more...
