Hope you are still online Richard and Godfray. I have various De Lisles of Guernsey in my (mainly Le Pelley and Carey) tree, but just found a tantalising snippet ofinformation.Nicholas Carey b 1806 GSY, a wealthy landownder, arrived in Western Australia (briefly) and built Avondale Homestead on land originally assigned in the 1830's to the first Governor of the Swan River Colony, Captain James Stirling RN and Harbour Master Mark Currie RN.He was assisted by his grand-nephew William Herbert De Lisle. I am unable to find William (son of Herzel) in the UK or Channel Islands after 1881 and wondered whether he may be related to the Australian line.
