check out London England Births & Baptisms 2 July 1820 at Hackney St John - Robert & Mary Pymble parents.
has - reported Born 7 April 1818

They also did
Robert Pymble reported born 1 June 1820
James b 17 March 1813
George b 23 March 1815

Looks like it could have been a requirement for arriving in the Colonies. as they arrived in 1821

Group Baptism.... big party

No arrival in Tasmania in the Arrivals database.

Departures from Tasmania:

Family Name Given Name(s) Title Rank Ship of Departure Date of Departure Port of Departure Where Bound Ship to Colony Status Remarks References
Edwards Elizabeth Steerage City of Melbourne 22 Oct 1851 Launceston Melbourne Angelina Free by servitude POL220/1/1 p455
Edwards Elizabeth Passenger Swan 3 August 1846 George Town Port Phillip CSO95/1/1 p345

Neither of those.

We know both children ended up in Killara area so looking for Eliza plus 2 around 1849.

Robert and his family arrived in the colony as free settlers aboard the ship 'Marshal Wellington' arriving 24 Jul 1821. The decision by Robert, his wife Mary and 6 surviving children to emigrate to Australia was partly prompted by Mary's frail health. The family arrived with £1500 in capital, jewellery and personal possessions.

Hello all,
This James EDWARDS and family belong to my families and they ended up in Queensland. So the James Dave is looking for was not part of this family line.
Starkwood is actually Stockwood, Froam is Frome, Gileyzeam is Gillingham, but the other one of Harliton Marish/Marsh has me stumped. The closest one I can find is possibly Charlton Marshall.
Any helpers most welcome on this one.
