[carrey56]

John Wimbeldon Pitt m Mary Sparrow at St Mary's Newington Surrey 20 February 1816 (Family Search)
It also seems John was christened 1 June 1788 at Southwark Surrey the son of John and Alice.

Annie was born Scales as this was her mother's first marriage, Pitt was her maiden name. so Annie's children listing thier mother as scales is correct.
Shipping records are not always so easy to trace as many came out as just mr or mrs and at the time the gold rush was in full swing so it was hard to keep people to keep records.
It appears Jemima came out some time between 1854 and 1859.

Thank you so much for all that information! Who knew from Ballarat to London in one short day!

Thank you for such a wonderful Christmas present This information is so valuable, it's lovely to have someone with experience - I have decided half the battle is knowing where to go next (and having access to it!!!)

yes this is correct, however there is a lot more on the CD. such as occupation, who else is buried in the grave, address at time of death etc.
Of course the online index is still a very handy asset!
