Their children were Samuel 1848 .Mary Joanna 1850, Eliza 1852, Anna Valentine 1853 & Rebecca born abt 1855 all in Norfolk
I know they immigrated to Victoria Australia then had children Charlotte 1857, John Thomas 1857, David 19 March 1859, Archer Leonard 1863, Agnes Charlotte 3/6/1865, Eva Grace 1868, Ernest Autum 1870, Harriet 1871
