Forebears of MITCHELL family who emigrated to NSW in 1838

[Anchor425]

I am trying to find the ancestors of Charles & Harriett MITCHELL (nee HUNTLEY) who emigrated to NSW on "Westminster" in 1838.   I recently started a new topic on the Australian forum on the history of this family in NSW, with the last response appearing on 22 Feb.

To the best of my knowledge, Charles was born in Sandhurst, Kent in 1799 and married Harriet HUNTLEY in Mountfield, Sussex in 1821.   His parents were Charles MITCHEL born 1774 in Sandhurst, Kent and Catherine SOANE, who had married in the same place in 1797.   Harriett HUNTLEY was born in Salehurst, Sussex in 1801 to John HUNTLEY (1756-1819) and Mary BENE (1757-1837).   Charles Sen. died in 1855 in Cranbrook, Kent.   His parents were Edward MITCHEL and Anne EVANS, who married in Newenden, Kent in 1772.

Does anyone know more about their family history?
