Hello mcgrice

According to a submission to the IGI Robert & Catherine were married in Australia - 4 Feb 1858 in Penwortham, South Australia. There doesn't seems to be any other information about Catherine.

Hello McGrice,

The two Pedigree Resource Files at FamilySearch.org have submitter’s names. One of the submitters (Lucas) has a website with an Australian email address here http://www.angelfire.com/folk/parkerfam/

There is an arrival year for Shackamaxon, 1853, and for Macedon, 1853. Assisted immigration lists to South Australia are here. http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/austr ... dindex.htm

If the family information on the passenger lists etc matches to what you have it may be worthwhile making contact if you’re unable to verify the information supplied on the birth certificate.

Hope this helps,
Alan
