There was a Frances Louisa M THORLOW baptised in Melbourne in 1848.
Her parents were named as John William THORLOW and Jane.

THORLOW is a typo error and should be THURLOW.

Looking at other birth records I expect the parents of Frances will be
John William THURLOW and Jane HODGSON.

I can find no record of a Susan RAUNGLAD.

May be of some help.

A few more details for you.

Jane THURLOW, nee HODGSON, died in 1860 aged 30 years.

Looking at the birth records I find a John THURLOW and Susan FROMENT having a son in Collingwood in 1861. They named their son John William THURLOW.

I could not find a marriage for John and Sarah, but I do expect this Susan FROMENT will be the Susan RAUNCLAD you mentioned being the mother of Frances.

May I ask where the name RAUNCLAD come from?

Will have a look for the death of Frances Ah POO, nee THURLOW today. With a bit of luck we should be able to confirm her mother was Jane HODGSON.

From the Victorian Death Index.

Surname: POVES.

Father: John William THURLOW.
Mather: Jane HODGSON.
Year Died: 1913.

This will be the death of your Frances. They must have changed their surname from AH POO to POVES, or the informant got it wrong. The death certificate will give you more information.

Found five children for Frances and Ah Poo.

Hello, susan Ranclaud was the 2nd daughter of James St John Ranclaud from the 56th . I THINK. I will confirm this . I will go into my family tree i have just miss placed my folder with all newspaper notices and get back to youu ASAP.
Can you point me in the right direction where i may be able to find photo's of Frances at school. i have been trying to find schools back in Belfast but with no luck as i am only a novice at this.
My dad who is william Arthur thurlow grandson of ah poo ah poo and frances louisa Maud thurlow, told me his father Edward William Ah poo changed his name to Thurlow after his grandmother as chinese found it difficult to fit into society. Most of his siblings on birth records are named Ah poo but is very hard to find much about them before this as they seemed to have a lot of secrets they did not want anyone to know.
hope you will be able to help

The chances of finding a school photo for Frances in that time frame are very slim.

I suggest you contact the Port Fairy Historical Society. They may be able to assist you with a few more details. Have a look at their site below.

Yes l am willing to help do you have any photo,s.
Sadly the Thurlow/Hortin side are all very sectretive, hence why l made my tree private. I am willing to share with anyone willing to share wit me.
I have loads of information.

Regards Diane Thurlow married name Young

Hi Diane,
I'm not related to the Thurlow line, but I am part of the Hodgson clan. Frances' mother was Jane Hodgson, daughter of Edward Wilson Colton Hodgson and Frances Keswick from Cumberland, England. Edward was a convict transported to Van Diemens land for forging notes.
Cheers,
Jill.

Hello, I'm Dorothy Rosa Thurlow's Great Grand-daughter. I'm adding to my family tree at FamilySearch.org and trying to find information on Edward Wilson Hodgson's parents. Can anyone help? There is an interesting record of his arrival in Tasmania here but it's very hard to read! https://stors.tas.gov.au/CON31-1-19$init=CON31-1-19P118

Simon Ah Poo of Victoria appears to be unrelated to George Ah Poo of NSW.
