My little Tasker Family were from Banbury, Oxford, England. William Tasker married a Sarah Ann Barrett and together they had 17 children. 5 were born in England, which were Mary Charles, William, Thomas & James. They came to Australia on the Forest Monarch 1858 from South Hampton. Sarah married William in 1847, Neibington, Surrey, London.
William Tasker's Mother was a Sarah Banwell and she died 1857 along with her youngest son Henry who was about 14years old at the time. So I guess William decied that he would bring his little family out to Australia, maybe the prospect of a new land with new opportunities and a chance to be better off. For whatever reason they moved here they settled in Bombala, New South Wales and died there. Many of the children still live in this area, but some have moved away to other parts of the country.
