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
