Hi and welcome to Rootschat  :D

This is your first post, and I remember that there's an RChatter who has been searching for information along similar names to you.

You need to make a couple more posts before you can make direct contact via Personal Message with that RChatter, so perhaps just reply here, even just to say 'Hi'

Here's a live link to one of the threads that mention those names.

There are several 1887 newspaper articles about the marriage between Champion and Polly. But please know that the language used and the things discussed are quite distressing...a very shameful part of Australia's history.
