Thomas Vidler married Mary Jemina Ellen Spilstead b-1822 Sedlescombe, Sussex, England d- 7-March-1877. Stroud, New South Wales, Australia.
Thomas & Mary Jemina Ellen Immigrated to Australia. 7-July-1841 " Burhampooter “
I also have Stephen Spilstead Immigrated to Australia 19-April-1841" Burhampooter “
I hoping for some help with right shipping date for the, " Burhampooter “ to leave England, I have the parents of Stephen Spilstead but not to Mary Jemina Ellen Spilstead are Stephen & Mary Jemina Ellen related,you would think so with both leaving England after both marring in 1840 England

The marriages both took place in Battle registration district in June qtr 1841 Do you have either marriage certificate. 'Mary Jemima Ellen' is shown as just Jemima on the marriage index
Passenger lists from the UK are not available this early. Presumably the dates you have are for arrival in Australia. The census in 1841 took place 6th June

Interesting. Not that I can help but James Munn was on the Burhampooter (from the link August 1841- quick turnaround time? )
From what I have been able to find James Munns mother was a Mary Vidler. I wonder if these 2 families were cousins?

There is a marriage at Ewhurst in 1812 for Stephen Spilsted to Ann Baker which may be the parents.

With Stephen Spilsted & Anne Baker being Jemima Allen Spilstead parents, I don't suppose someone could add are bit more information on the lives of Stephen Spilsted & Anne Baker, the help given so far have been a great help to me Thank you.

I suggest you join the Sussex Family History Group as they have a lot of online records for members and it is not expensive. They have numerous Spilsted/Spilstead entries listed. Stephen and Ann seem to have had at least eight children, though some died as infants.
I wonder if Jemima's second name was Ellen? There is another child named Jemima Ellen baptised in 1862, daughter of Alfred who may well be your Jemima's brother.

There are entries on the Land Tax Redemption for 1799 for Sedlescombe. The first for William Spilstead as occupier of lands for which the proprietor was William Brabary. Next entry is for Step Spilstead as occupier of lands for which the proprietor was John Boys Esquire. The Sums Assessed suggest that Step Spilstead may have had quite large areas of land. In his case the sums were £6 18s 9d. The Sums Assessed for William Spilstead were £1 1s 7d.
There is a Stephen Spilsted from Sussex showing as having been transported as a convict in 1832. This was on The Lord William Bentinck to Tasmania. He was convicted at Sussex Assizes on 30 July 1831 and sentenced to 7 years.

I can only keep saying how much I appreciate your continuing help for the information on Spilsted name. Perhaps someone in the Sussex Family History Group may be unable to help me with my Spilsted’s inquires it’s been suggested it’s not expensive to join, I am not certain how much the Age Pension payments are in England, but in the Australian pension does not allow for a lot of extra.

The SFHG is only around £1.50 a month. http://www.sfhg.org.uk/
UK pensions are not much either! I did look at the entries for you but there were so many that it was far too great a task to do and it is much more rewarding if you can do it yourself.
