Welcome to Rootschat Jason

Everyone is very helpfull here . Firstly when did Elijah and Eliza arrive in Australia? . This will help anyone finding them on Censuses.

Have you purchased Marriage Cert? This will identify parents of them.
Although you have marriage date it was not reg. til March

From www.freebmd.org.uk


Elijah Filcock
March 1840
Stoke on Trent
17 159
On same page is Eliza Brundett


Also someone else is researching this family from Australia

I will let you find it for yourself as it is more exciting they have another generation back on both sides and siblings of Elijah;

Google,   filcock genealogy + staffordshire

It is a posting on Rootsweb you are looking for.

Cheers,

The info from above postng has them arriving Australia 1856.

If so someone will be able to find them 1841/1851 census . Sorry I have no access at present to census details.

EDIT; have checked out all info on posting and traced info on Familysearch.
Elijah is down as baptised 28 April, 1811, Hanley., parents George and Elizabeth ORME

Thank you Trish i have not found Elizabeth's Maiden Name Before so a great start already. Looks like the other information you have found is correct. I have a lot of records at the  moment but only back to Elijah onward in Australia only not back to England

Ok,
So we have George Filcock ,, baptised 12 May 1776, Gawsworth, Cheshire, parents Peter and Sarah .

If you click on the batch there appear to be no other children born to them there .

Then checked for marriage for a Peter  1776 +/- 10yrs, and come up with;

Peter FILLcock to Sarah DEACON, 5 Sept. 1769, Astbury, Cheshire ( extracted record) this looks likely

So we have Peter and Sarah, son George  marries Elizabeth Orme, and their son Elijah marries Eliza Burdett and off to the Australia 1856ish

FILLCOCK - on the Royal Charter, April 1856 into Port Phillip:
Elijah, 45 yrs
Eliza, 43 yrs
Joseph, 11 yrs
Henry, 8 yrs.

Hope that helps

On my searches I noticed a lot of Filcocks in Cheshire .... they probably all connect up with your Filcocks Jason.
