Would someone please be able to confirm some information that James Carpenter and his family emigrated to Townsville, Queensland, Australia.

Looking at the census records and births of their children i would say between 1896.......1901

James Carpenter 1858 Beaulieu Hampshire
Agnes " 1866 Lymington Hampshire (Wife...Nee White)
Mary " 1886 Lymington Hampshire
Sylvia " 1896 Lymington Hampshire
(Possibly a son Ernest born 1889)

Thankyou............PH

I thought Sylvia had been mistakenly transcribed as Lilian but it definitely says Lilian on the image. Can't see the original image on ancestry.
