Henry and Georgie Martin

TLM-P visited his sister-in-law and her disgraced husband Henry in England in July 1882. He described her and the children in detail, presumably for the benefit of his wife. There was:
1. Willie, about 2 months younger than Meta, and not so stout and strong as his siblings;
2. Sissy, 7 years old, a similar age to 'lost litttle Emeline' and a 'stout, clever child';
3. Hilda, about 5 years old and 'a stout little girl, very strong full of life and good looking, puts me in mind of one of Rose Patersons girls (Rose was another sister of Nora's and Georgie) with dark eyes'; and
4. Claude, about 3 'a fine sturdy little fellow full of health'.
TLM-P was pleased that 'They all made friends with Uncle Tom'.
Georgie he found looking 'well and very nice, quieter than of yore' - not surprising given the disgrace she had faced when her husband was accused of embezzlement after they left Queensland.(4 July)
