i would not think the Bendigo geo society would have any idea of what records were not forwarded to melbourne - it was something they mentioned to me when I was in bendigo researching

hope this is of assistance
children thomas and margaret
Richard Chaplin b 1855  Elizabeth Ann 1857 Edward Thomas 1859 Emma Jane 1862 Thomas 1865 Albert Jonathan 1867 Martha Maria 1870 Alfred Herbert 1872 Arthur Henry 1876   no Rose or Matilda

You could contact Bendigo gen soc and they will search for you for a small fee as I said not all were sent to melbourne

guess u have marriage and children details of Matilda and Alexander
Thomas Knight was christened 27/11/1831
Parents Richard Knight and Ann nee Porter   Richard b abt 1811 Irton Cumberland d 30/9/1844 age 32

Residence 1841 Census Millhouse Irton Farmer   they married 17/4/1831 by Fred Shaw Curate of Drigg   witnesses Thomas Knight, Hannah Porter and Reuben Birkett

Ann married a John Statter after Richard's death

Richard's parents would be a Thomas and Ann who had a Richard about the same time and also a Thomas and both were christened at Corney Cumberland    I have been told that Ann's parents were Lancelot and Esther but this does not fit in with the birth dates from the census reports however just before Richard's death Ann had twins and once was called Lancelot!

anyway hope this is useful and anything you can find out on richard and ann would like to hear

note that all registrations in Bendigo were not forwarded to Melbourne Thomas and Margaret lived at Goornang in Victoria (outside Bendigo)  I have quite a bit of info on them at home and will dig it out and forward to you - Thomas and Jonathan had a brother John Porter (my relo) their parents were Richard and Ann (nee Porter) and they lived in Irton Cumberland
