Thanks gibbo.

Didn't have that.

I looked on SP and didn't see the marriage.

That looks as though she arrived married with son William ??

No birth on SP 1826-1834 for a Martha virg*

Not easy after 1855 finding the right births on SP.

Death CLARK ANDREW 9915/1893 CHARLES UNKNOWN NARRANDERA

 

[DaveHam9]

Three possible births for Charles in Midlothian but can't match the district for Andrew or William.

1861 census might help. FreeCEN has no coverage of Midlothian in 1861.
