Dear Jessica
Well that was the original story perhaps but I never heard of the brother saddler.
What began to unravel, at least in our branch of the family (that along with a line of cousins ran the factory in Homebush NSW)was that William actually came to Oz to find his father who had been transported and in fact did in the Hunter valley area.
William began the bread and biscuit business near Newcastle ina small town whose name I forget....where are you located and what vintage because you say "My grandfather" which woould make you over 100 years old unless you mean Great grandfather.
I grew up in Sydney and am just over 60 !!
