Hi everyone,

B. 27 Nov 1814  (d. 2 Nov 1845 in Adelaide SOUTH AUSTRALIA)

Married:  Mary Ann  (?) Shropshire 15 Dec 1833 possibly in Whitchurch?
Mary Ann was born abt 1816

Frederick & Mary migrated to Australia on the ORLEANA  - Departed London 24 Feb 1840

Family Search has a baptism of a Frederick Firth in Nov 1814 at Whitchurch with parents Thomas and Elizabeth.  Edit - there are possible siblings with the same parents

Thanks Kay & Garstonite... very helpful and I will go and hunt a bit more with those links.  The lass who is interested is very happy just having the surname of PRINCE.. the rest no doubt will be a bonus
