I have found a record for a child of Francis Pogson and Caroline Barton being born in Hobart, Tasmania in 1849. The parents names are specifically given as Frank Pogson and Caroline Barton. The name of the child was Caroline Bertha Pogson and she was born on 26 July 1849.
Presumably this child died since by 1851, Caroline Barton had given birth to a second daughter called Caroline (my great-great grandmother).
Was Caroline's return to England associated with the death of Caroline Bertha? The mystery of why she left Francis continues. I am glad, however, to have proof that Caroline did go to Tasmania with Frank.
