Hoping that someone can help me.
John Roberts Tuthill was born c 1820 in London, married there in 1841, had at least 5 children up until 1852/1853. He was also known as John Roberts Stephens.
He came to New South Wales c 1853 without his wife, and started a new family with Anne/Annie, first known child Henry Archibald Stephens, born 30 July 1854, Sydney, NSW. He went on to become a respected billiard table maker, as was his brother who remained in England.

NOT, from

STEPHENS John, Lady Clarke, Dec 1841, Farm labourer from Devon, Wife Mary Ann, 29, House servant, Son John 6 and other family members
STEPHENS John 29 Ship Sarah 1849 and wife Mary Ann 37, Coachman from Gibraltar, wife House servant from London
STEPHENS John 23 Ship Panama 1850 and wife Ann 20, Farm labourer from Dunass, Clare, wife House servant from Holyhead Anglesey

STEPHENS John 30 Lady Ann 1854 and wife Martha 20, Farm labourer from Davidstowe, Cornwall, wife from Redruth, Cornwall
Nothing at all comes up with TUTHILL/variations, but now I have located the year more accurately to 1853, I wonder if there is anywhere else I can look? I have very little knowledge of Australian research, my family mostly from UK.
