Noel - it may very well have been our great-grandfather, who emigrated (as did two of his siblings) in the 1880s (I think - didn't get to that info last night. His son (our grandfather) was born in Oz and worked in various collieries (including Balmain, under Sydney Harbour) before his accidental death in Bulli Colliery, where he was a manager.
Anyway:
William Henry Broadhead b. 4.5.1853 Swinton Yorkshire d. 8.4.1914 Thirroul, NSW Australia
Married 10.6.1877 Kilnhurst Yorkshire
Elizabeth Ann Harrison b. 17.11.1858 Brierley Yorkshire d. 24.9.1936 Thirroul, NSW Australia
So our fathers would have met their grandmother, albeit briefly.
Cheers - Kent
