Hello Emma, sorry for the delay in answering. It’s over 10 years since I did a lot of work on the Millerchips. They really are interesting and difficult both from the family history but also on social history.
Looking at my old notes it does appear that I had decided there were the 4 brothers. They were 4 of the children of  William Millichope and Sarah Rogers who lived in Broseley  (Ironbridge  area)
The Richard born to Thomas & Ann  in 1753 died in 1754, but they had another Richard in 1759!!
Have you seen the webpage Genealogy.com?  There are quite a lot of Millerchip entries, Mainly of some correspondence I had 10 or 12 years ago. The entries are still there but I’m not sure whether the site is sdtill active.
Hope this helps  I  will send some more .later,

Thanks for the replies, I have checked out 2 or 3. I have downloaded the marriage but it doesn't give much more info.  What I found on his death is that his father is also recorded as John., but in the space for his mother it says "died in Sydney" Will look at some of the others during the week.

Thanks  Neither my sister or her husband could recall any significance in the date.  !                                                 I also notice that my father's name is marked with a red star!!

Hi Alexander, Bit on how they got to Australia. If you search for "Jemima Cox + Kidderminster" there is an  extract from National Archives "letter from Henry Saunders" He was clerk to the "guardians" It looks that the Coxs got their fare paid.
