In 1846 Louisa died, and for a period Louisa's mother (Elizabeth Champion, formerly Edmonds, nee Holland) lived with the family - she is listed in the 1851 census.    A few years later Francis married a second time, to an Ann HORWOOD. [Thanks to Judy Wiles, formerly Rogers, for this information].   They had two girls:  1853 Ann; 1855 Alma.  The family emigrated to New South Wales in 1855, on board the "Kate".    The Index to Assisted Immigrants to NSW shows the family:
