Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Re: George MIDDLETON born wilts. about 1814?

As you can tell, I'm only new to this.  I will apply for a copy in a few days, and post the details when it arrives  Do they email or post the certificates?

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for that Tati.
You mentioned that George and Anne's marriage certificate would show the parents names etc.  How do I go about getting a copy?

Thanks,
The family settled near Port Adelaide at Tam O'shanter Creek.  I believe two of the girls drowned in a dam on their property a few years latter, but I don't have the details in front of me now.
I noticed there was no Richd, or Elizabeth on the ship.  Had they died?

Thanks,
This is great info.  Yes, the ship left london for portsmouth March 1851, then Portsmouth for Australia 24th March 1851.  The ship MARION was wrecked on Troubridge Shoal a few hours from Port Adelaide, South Australia in July 1851, but all crew and passengers were saved.

Thanks
