On IGI there is a marriage that also states they married in Derwick Grove,Via, Maitland, New South Wales, Australia. Maybe it is like a old railway sideing, or a like a old Stock and Station stop.
Sorry not much of a help.

Hi Liz
Just had a look in my Gregory's nothing on Derwick Grove probably as Liz says a property many many years ago, could have been renamed now.
The links below will also provide further historical information on Morpeth, Maitland & surrounds:
Heritage Office of NSW
http://www.heritage.nsw.gov.au/index.html
State Library of NSW
http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/
Perhaps these two web sites could help you l don't know.

Hi Liz,
How do you know they were married there?
Do you have a certificate ?
If IGI is the only source, it may be doubtful.

As Sue asked.. do you have a certificate that actually states that?
I have a CD of NSW BMD and it says she was Roman Catholic and the Parish was St Mary's Sydney.
Also I grew up about 15 minutes away from Maitland (still live within 45 minutes of it) and I have never heard of Derwick Grove.

Hi Liz,
Have you had any luck tracking down "Derwick Grove" in Maitland?
Q1. Who was your GGG Gandfather/Mother working for in 1831? [My ancestors were working for Capt. Francis Allman at Rathluba East of Wallis Creek, My GGG Grandmother was assigned to Emanuel Hungerford prior to 1831].
Q2. My ancestors where also Catholic. I understand that the first catholic church in East Maitland was build in 1832.
My ancestors got married in 1831 in CofE ceremony at the school house 27NOV1831, and again in 1832 in Catholic church cerimony. The first child baptism record shows the abode a DERWICK Grove, Maitland.
Q3.Do your certificates refer to:
a) Derwick Grove, Maitland
b) Derwick Grove, Via. Maitland
c) other
I will keep you posted if I find anything, I am currently going through old maps to track things down

Hi genefinder
The NSW parish records (pre civil registration) are available on microfilm at most state libraries and lots of other places around NSW. I had a few problems finding specific records (microfilms sometimes give me grief) but they are there. The code you have for the baptism V18312293 125 helps to find it on the film. THis will be explained if you visit one of the centres to look at the records.
Details of the locations in NSW for ARK(includes the early parish records) are here
http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/archives/access_to_the_records_2826.asp#ArchivesResourcesKit
Hopefully the register may show the place where the child was born/lived, as well as where baptised.
Hi Ian
Welcome from me as well - RC is a great place for researching Family history
