Another daughter:
The South Australian Advertiser, Monday 28 January 1861
January 19, at Searle's Grove, Reedbeds, the wife of Mr. J. Searle of a daughter.

Son Edward's obit:
The Advertiser, Friday 21 November 1930
OBITUARY
The death of Mr. Edward Searle on Friday, November 14, at Willow Park, Mimbadoggie, has removed another fine old pioneer. Mr. Searle was born at Reedbeds on June 11. 1848, and went to the north in 1875, taking up the land that he was living on at his death. Mr. Searle was a great lover of horses. It was said that with a team of bullocks he could go practically anywhere. He was a wheat farmer practically all his life. He leaves two sons, E. L. Searle and W. T. Searle, of Mimbadoggie, and two daughters, Mesdames M. H. Modystack, of Wilmington, and J. Shepherd, of Jamestown. His wife predeceased him a few years ago.

I think this might be Julia:
The Advertiser, Friday 29 May 1891

Hi Ann

There was a John Edward SHEARSTONE in Victoria around this time but no Chas sorry.

Is this Frederick?

MUNDELL Frederick Ernest : Service Number - 2704 : Place of Birth - Portsmouth England : Place of Enlistment - Townsville QLD : Next of Kin - (Mother) PARSONS Louisa

No Chas in Qld either. Also tried NSW.

But here is Frederick's death in Qld:

Hi Cherilyn,
thank you very much for looking for my elusive Charles I wonder where he went? Also thanks for info on Fred
Ann E

Hello Cherilyn,
Wow, thank you so much for all of that information you have found out about James Searle for me - you are fantastic!!
I'm going to sit and quietly read it now & digest all the info that you have so kindly given me.
It must've taken you so long to do all of that for me, you are really kind.
Thank you loads & loads.
Regards, Sue

Hi again Cherilyn,
Through the info you gave me, I came across a website that had a mention of my James Searle and it stated that he was acquitted of a charge of manslaughter of George Smith on 10th August 1853!!!
Is there any way you (or me if I knew how) could find out anymore about this ie a newspaper article?
Sorry to be a pain!!
Sue

Thanks for the info on the frawley family, They are my family I will send for richards certificate thanks again cathleen

Hi Sue, my pleasure. Unfortunately I can't see anything about Searle and Smith regarding manslaughter. I only tried the NLA Newspapers site. Worth a try yourself perhaps! :-)

Hi Cherilyn
I did have a quick look on the newspaper website that you gave me, before asking you but it looks like the South Australian Advertiser's records do not go back as far as 1853.
I didn't know if you had any other records to look at?
He sounds a bit of a lad, doesn't he? :-)

Hi Sue
Maybe try Kerri's thread as she has some early SA stuff. Or you could contact SAGS.
He was quite a character I'd say! :-)
Cheers
Cherilyn

Hi
Oh yes, I forgot you said about Kerri's thread - I will do that.
Without showing my ignorance too much, what's SAGS?

Just Google it!

Good luck!

Thank you, I will x

Hi Cherylin, Could you please try to find a birth for one ada kathleen larner c 1870+-. She married a Patrick Francis Moran in 1896 in qld, but this doesn't necessarily mean she was born there! I've been contacted by somone on ancestry today, claiming that ada is the daughter of one james nicholson larner and elizabeth brown of ballarat east, BUT I don't believe so. James is my husbands gt gt grandfather. Regards Linda :)

Hi Linda

No sign of her birth in Qld, NSW or WA.

The only possible match in Vic is this one:

Surname: LARNER
Given Names: Kate
Event: B
Father: James
Mother: Elizabeth BROWN
Birth Place: BALL
Year: 1871
Reg Number: 7043

Mind you all the other chn had 2 or 3 given names so is a bit odd poor Kate only got the one!

I will see if I can find her death or marriage in Vic.

Yep here she is and it seems your Ancestry contact was correct:

Surname: MORAN
Given Names: Kathleen Ada
Father: Larner James
Mother: Unknown BROWN
Death Place: CAMB
Age: 90
Year: 1962
Reg Number: 24851
Event: D

Age fits with b. 1871 as well.

Haha!! Methinks she has added the name ada to her boring old one name of kate, as you say, all the others had 2 or more!! I did ask if they had any birth details but no reply as yet, so my hubby has some more cousins to contend with!! Thanks so much for looking, regards Linda :)
