Hello there

As far as I have been able to find out, Jane did not have a known reason for travelling to Western Australia, other than her Step uncle Richard Henry Tyler was already in Fremantle having arrived in the mid 1890's, and Jane travelled to Fremantle with her step aunt Catherine Porter and husband John William Porter in 1892. Maybe she was searching for a new life in a new country.

Jane's father was Thomas Pritchard and mother Elizabeth Edwards. Jane married Henry Priesthouse in Fremantle Western Australia and they had three children. Of those three children, 1 daughter died in infancy, 1 son married but never had children and 1 daughter married and had 2 daughters of her own. I do have a contact of one of the grand daughters and have written a letter requesteing more information, but have not had a response. It's a shame, I'd really like to conclude my chapter on Jane.

Debra.
