Elizabeth Minister - Cambridge

[arana 80]

Hello Members,
Help required
Thomas Gooch of Long Melford, Suffolk came to Victoria, Australia as 1st Mate of the Sacremento, which was wrecked at the entrance to
 Port Phillip Bay on the night of the 26th April 1853. Elizabeth Minister of Cambridge was also a passenger on the ship.
Thomas and Elizabeth were married on the 19th Sept. 1853 at St. Peters Church, Melbourne.

In the Church Register, Elizabeth records her father as Edward Minister - Carpenter, her mother as Elizabeth Amey.
I also that her birth year as 1825.

Any help re edward Minister & Elizabeth Amey would be greatly valued
