Great to hear from you and I’m glad you found my blog.

I have found a Henry Tissott who was born around 1833 and died in 1900 at Timor, Victoria, Australia. He married Emma Sutherland in 1853 and they had around nine children. Henry was found drowned in a dam. This is a link to the article http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article28676565 .
Does this sound like your Henry?

Regards
Merron

I just found your blog from geneabloggers and I’ll be following it. My father’s family started on the goldfields when Gt Grand-dad Henry Tissett finally managed to leave VDL and married in Portland in 1853.

Cheers,

Rosemary in Tulsa, Oklahoma
