I would love a grocery bill of just $24 for the week.

Baked beans are very underrated

I suppose the question becomes

Do you really need Ancestry membership to do family history research when there's so many free to search live links at the various RChat resources Boards    ?

This link works today and has Henry DAVEY from Worchester???  Not very helpful at all.

RE marriage certificates.....sometimes a couple were not truthful if either had deserted their lawful spouse in another state!!

At this stage I'm inclined to think your 1809 Henry b Gwennap married Elizabeth CRAGOE in 1834. They are listed in the 1851 Census with him being 44 and born there.
Also from memory Mary Ann SMITH was bpt 1816 and marrying Henry bpt 1818 is a much better "fit" (this is not good research, "fitting" people though).
There are very few Henry Daveys born in Cornwall, 1800 to 1810.
Anyhow, I'm off to see what's for dinner, baked beans -mmmm- or maybe pasties.

Ooh Essie, I meant to add maybe he was born elsewhere such as Devon. But Worchester, hmmm.
So there are two lines for Davey...are they the same family then, I wonder?

SIBELLA 1848
DAVEY, Henry (from Worchester), wife,
DAVEY, 3 children and another born on voyage on July 1st

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/48727628 South Australian Register 19 July 1848
Henry Davey wife three children (one of them a daughter, born at sea on 8th July)

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/158926343 Adelaide Observer, 22 July 1848
Henry Davey wife and three children (one of them, a daughter, born at sea on 8th July)

I am not sure about fares to South Australia, but to me, 'children' indicates that the fare paid was for a child .... I wonder at what age would a lad or lass need to be, to be noted as 'single male' or 'single female'  rather than a child, part of a family if travelling in 1848 from the ports of London or Plymouth.....   

The newspaper cuttings do not give the gender of the two older children.... 

Did our OP's family actually arrive on that voyage

Many married at 16 and earlier.  Perhaps Mary Ann wasn't present at her dau's marriage hence the misinformation.

Cando

I took it that the recording of witnesses on the certificate being Mary Ann DAVEY and William Henry (no surname) was the bride's mother and William Henry LUKE

I note the date of this marriage is a few months before the marriage of Mary Ann and William Henry LUKE given as October 1853.

Henry has a middle name 

from that 1853 marriage for his 16 year old daughter Elizabeth

Attaching a snip, as the initial could be hard to decipher
