Thanks for the look up. I dont have his parents names. I am confident that he was born in 1835 as his wife  Martha Bool (née Geard) was born 5th May, 1835, Baptised: 27 March, 1836, South Petherton, Somerset, England. They married i Australia

Hi Allie
This is what I have
George Bool, Baptised: 20th June, 1835 - Baptist Church, Montacute, Somerset, England. Died: 28th October, 1900. Emigrated to Australia in 1854 on the "Tantivy." Also his wife b Martha Bool (née Geard) Born: 5th May, 1835, Baptised: 27 March, 1836, South Petherton, Somerset, England. Died: 30 January, 1922. Emigrated to Australia in 1859 on the "Wellington."
I have found Marthas family on the IGI and I  that Ruth Geard on the 1851 is her mother with sons James and Immanuel. George is a blank !
Thanks
Andrea
