Hello Kathryn (& Murray)
As a photographic historian I have an interest in Daniel Metcalfe, who was a NSW and Queensland photographer. He was born in 1841 in Maryport and following his father Joseph Metcalf's death, his mother Elizabeth Gates married Thomas Skelton Glaister. They emigrated to America and Thomas worked as a druggist in Illnois and elsewhere but then took up photography in New York and migrated to Australia in 1852 where he ran a studio in Melbourne, then he moved to Sydney in 1855 opening his own studio and was joined there by his family. Thomas went to Sonoma in California in 1870 therefore meaning your ancestor John Metcalf, who was the son of Joseph Metcalf's brother George Metcalf and Ruth Ismay had his aunt Elizabeth already living in California when he moved there from Maryport.
Daniel continued to work as a photographer in Queensland, for a while partnering his half brother Thomas Skelton Middleton Glaister, who married Murray Wilson's relation. Daniel's uncle John Metcalf came to Queensland and died here but I have not found out his arrival or whether he married.
I visited Maryport last year and have accessed the baptisms and in the last few weeks I have been studying the censuses on line to enable an updated version of the tree you have submitted to this forum.
A few variances include the extra child I found of George Metcalf & Margaret Hall named Eleanor. Also Sarah Metcalf nee Ismay was widowed in the 1861 census so her husband must have died before this. You give death dates for him and Sarah of 1872, but Sarah is clearly listed in the 1901 census. George and Thomas Metcalfe married sisters Ruth and Sarah Ismay (the family that founded White Star Line).
I am happy to hear your thoughts.
Cheers!
