The marriage of Daniel Lifford to Mary Coleman is in Pallot's marriage index for 1820.

My Joseph Lifford born Betchworth 1797/8 was a bricklayer on all census forms. He died 1873 as did his 2nd wife Elizabeth. His first wife Jane Mekoms(various spellings of) I assume died before 1837. I cannot find her death.

Hi Jessie,
Sorry but have no info about parents of Mary.
Looking at the Daniel side of Betchwoth Liffords, I wonder if the name Lifford has now gone from that side.
Daniel born 1787 had 5 sisters but only one brother, William born 1789. William died in 1869 but had never married.
Daniel's father Daniel born 1758 hade 3 sisters and 1 brother William born 1760. I have no further details of that William. Do you know anything about him, marriage and children? If he had no children then the Lifford name has been lost from that branch of Daniel born 1728 and Elizabeth Smith.
 
That is of course unless any of the females had children out of wedlock.
My Lifford  has come through the female line.
Joseph , born 1797 in Betchworth had a daughter Jane who had a son James John Davis Lifford born out of wedlock 1849 , hence he took his mothers surname.  We are his decendents.

Food for thought. Do you know anything about William born 1760 ?

Glad I was able to fill in extra facts.
My Joseph was the son of John and ann Boltwood born July 7th 1797., a distant cousin of Ann Caroline.
I have futher details of James and Ann Caroline, marriage, death, occupation etc. Do you have these?
I notice that Mary died in 1830 at West Ham. This is the year that her last child was born and died aged 7 weeks.
Daniel Lifford married Mary Coleman in 1820 at St Mary, Whitechapel.
I have details of Daniel's siblings  and parents if you want them.
I am UK based so sorry cannot help with the Oz relatives.

I have a Lifford family tree which states

Daniel Lifford  born 1797 died west ham 1854 married Mary ???? born c1792 died west ham 1830
Children to Daniel and Mary :-

  Ann Caroline  b1821  died 1900
  Daniel  b 1823 died 1824 (16month)
  Sarah   b 1824
  twins died 4 days old
  Matilda  b 1827 died 1897 Tasmania
  Daniel  b 1830  died 1830 aged 7 weeks

I have not confirmed any of these but my side of the family has been very accurate
I am decended from Joseph Lifford born Betchworth 1797 bricklayer.
I have considerable information about the Liffords from Betchworth and have examined  Betchworth church records
