Many thanks rathmore and Kiltaglassan for your interest and time in finding info on this Henstridge family. I have unearthed quite a bit by various means since posting. The obits are useful ,had just the Findagrave only. Thankyou.
I actually come from the same Wiltshire village South Newton as this couple and discovered their route to Adelaide 1850s quite by chance. They had at least seven children,eldest Henry[Harry] born 1849,before they left Wiltshire.
Very interested to confirm the sailing details, as its an early one.
The many branches of the seven children all stayed mainly in South Australia,still finding more.
If you have a few minutes to find the Lady McNaughton sailing details,if any, would be grateful/
Looks like the ship started in Ireland before embarking the English passengers in Plymouth.
Found today that the Workhouse site has info on sponsored emigration to South AUS from 1850 onwards,from parish workhouses.Wilton sent some,no lists of course anywhere this end.
Very interesting,thanks again,Brionne
