I am having trouble tracing one of my ancestors.

The details I have are:-

Harry Lee Butler - born Oct-Nov-Dec Qtr 1863
District - Headington
County - Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire.

His parents were:- Edmund Butler & Maria Allen

I have found him on the 1871 census in Oxfordshire, listed with his parents & six othe siblings.

I cannot trace him anywhere on 1881, 1891 or 1901 census.

I know he emigrated to Victoria, Australia but don't know when or on which ship.

He married Mary McDonald (born in Australia) and their first child was born in 1903 in Victoria, Australia.

I would appreciate any help on what happened to him between 1871 and 1903 or how to find which ship he came to Australia on.
