Not quite clear whether you're looking for earlier information or after they came to Australia.
Anyhow, here's some UK information, which you may already have. There is a tree on Ancestry but, it seems to me, there's quite a few mistakes.
Baptism: 25 September, 1823, All Saints church, Northampton
William Freeman Campion, s/o Thomas (victualler) and Jane Campion of Bridge St, Northampton
1841 census, Great Russell St, (St Giles parish), Northampton
Joseph Beasley 40 shoemaker, born Northamptonshire
Catherine Beasley 40 laundry, not born Northamptonshire
Sarah Beasley 11 born Northamptonshire (as were all children)
Joseph Beasley 8
Mary Beasley 6
John Beasley 3
Moran Beasley 8 Mo
Marriage:
Nov 8th, 1849 by licence, at St Giles, Northampton ( my son was baptised there!)
William Freeman Campion, full age, bachelor, living in parish of St Sepulchre's, occupation: gentleman, Father: Thomas Campion, cabinet maker
Sarah Agnes Beasley, spinster, 19, residence: Great Russell St, father: Joseph Beasley, shoemaker
William signed but I think Sarah made a cross. There is no mention of who gave permission for her to marry under-age, however Joseph Beasley signed as a witness.
