Osbornes from UK to Australia in 1800's
I am seeking information on John Osborne and Ruth Healey who migrated to Australia sometime after 1850.Three sons (James, Francis, William and Harold) were born in the UK (England I think) and George (my grandfather) was born in the town of Rosewood in Queensland Australia around 1889. In the 1880's the family moved to Mount Alford where they took up a selection and remained.Many of the descendants still live in the area.I have been told that before migrating to Australia, the family name was Osborne-Jones, but, as yet, I have been unable to find any references to that surname.Before tackling the UK census, I hope for some information from other Osborne researchers who might be able to help isolate this family to a particular region of the UK.
