Yes, Henry Ward Mason arrived in Melbourne, Australia some time in 1838 to the best of my knowledge. He had a store in Collins St, Melbourne and also owned land in the Sth Yarra area. He was involved in a long-running insolvency court case in the late 1840s and 1850s (I have copies of the court judgements) and returned to England eventually, then returned to Australia at a later stage. He died in Melbourne in 1883. I know he and his wife, Anne, were in America in 1854 as they had a child born there. Their remaining children were all born in England prior to their return to Aust. I hope the above makes sense!
If you have any further information I would love to hear from you.
