You mention the 1787 marriage begat at least 10 children, I suppose you can't link any of them going to Australia can you. Bit of a long shot, but you could be correct that the 1787 Michael could have been my William's grandfather

Brain's not in gear, I was thinking Stow Willcock was born 1835 but he was married then, so he and Mary Cade look favourites so far. All I've got to do is get them to Australia by 1841.

It's all about clutching at straws, but I've just done the calculation and if Michael Willcock married at 16 he would have been 70 when William was born - a bit unlikely.

So it looks like back to the drawing board. Of course William's father might have been Australian.

Thanks Jacky

I've seen the Stow Willcock and Mary Cade entry but that was in 1835; his son William was born 1841, so he's out. William is my Great grandfather and it's his parents I'm after.

The 1787 entry looks interesting but when did they travel to Australia to give birth to William?

William was also a Chelsea Pensioner so I guess that will have to be my next port of call, but it's so much easier to sit and press keys to get an answer.

Hi Geoff
I have an entry from UK census for 1861 of Stowe Wilcox born Long Sutton, Lincolnshire. Can find no other entries, but I have a marriage certificate for William Wilcox, born 1841 in Australia, married 16th July 1871 in London England to Charlotte Ridout born 1848 in London . The certificate shows William's father as Stowe Wlicox. Can you help please?

Thanks
Ray
