If the family were having her baptised in Australia, it rather implies that she hadn't been baptised in England. You don't normally baptise a child twice.

I agree and no baptism can be found in NSW for eldest son.

Joseph Cluff Moores
Born 22 Nov 1814
Baptism: 2 Jun 1816
Father: Edward Moores
Mother: Elizabeth Moores
Parish: St Mary, Newington
Borough: Southwark
County: Middlesex

Arrived free on the 'Lord Wellington' 20 Jan 1820 with mother Elizabeth and sister Ellen.

I can't find any evidence the two children arrived with their mother on the convict vessel.

If an image of an early muster/census can be found it might list some children as BC and others as CF. But it may not name the children. They may be listed in a particular column with an age range heading.

B.C. for Born in the Colony.
C.F. for Came Free.
F.S. for Free by Servitude.
A.P. for Holding an Absolute Pardon.
C.P. for Holding a Ticket of Leave.
C. for Convict.
C.S. for Colonial Sentence.
G.S. for Government (or Assigned) Servant. (4)

There are two versions of the 1828 census - Australian copy and TNA copy both on A....

FS also has the 1828 census but it only lists 2x and neither the one I want.

Edward Moore per Asia 1820

Edward More per Batavia 1818
