Eleanor,I have found a little bit more info fro you
Cornelius Cook REED and wife Ann SCRIMSHAW had more children in victoria as follows
Fanny Elizabeth REED born 1854
christened in St. Stephens church of england, Portland, victoria
also another child
Cornelius Cook REED b. 1857 Portland
not sure if the other chld Fanny aged 1 who came with them had died as no record of her death]
It states on the index that the above Fanny Elizabeth REED was born in Portland so must be a different child and they re-used the same name
It was not compulsory to register births, deaths & marriages in 1852 and often they were not recorded
The other child Fanny must have been born c. 1850-51 in england
There are no other children listed born in victoria to Cornelius and Ann
information from victorian pioneers bdm index
