Notes

Note N4911

Richard died in October 1851, this information from the marriage cert of Sarah who remarried to George Lloyd Allport in Collingwood in 1855. Sarah died in 1882, George Allport in 1883.

I can find no record of what happened to Frances, but as she is not mentioned in Sarah or George's will so assume she died childless. Robert did not marry and also died in 1893
The details that you have of Mary Ann and Edward Oakley's children are correct, though I can add a few more facts. 
Edward Lloyd born 1867, died unmarried and chilless in 1908,
Walter Hewett born 1869, married Nellie Davis in New Plymouth in 1898, she died in 1906. He abandoned his three young children by her and returned to Melbourne. He remarried to Emily Lewis in 1914 and died in 1927.
George Clive born 1871, died 1874, 
Mary Augusta born 1873 married John Stranger in 1903 but died childless in 1936,
Lucy Blanche born 1877 never married and died childless in 1944
and finally Percy Allport Oakley born 1883, married Flora Lobb in 1913 and died in 1955 leaving a son Edward Percy and a daughter Lorna who married a Tribe. Percy was a leading Australian architect in the 1920's to 1950's and designed a number important buildings in and around Melbourne including the premiers house.
As there are so few desendents, I am keen to make contact with any of the Austrailan clan to learn more about our common ancestors. 
Happy for you to add this to your site if you wish, with my e mail address.
