CARD Family

[AussieCard]

Hi,
I am in Australia hoping someone could please help me out with an enquiry.
I believe an Abraham Card (F: Willam Card, M: Marry ) was born in "Rodney Stoke" Somersetshire in 1825. He travelled to Australia where he married an Eliza Baldock and had a son Abraham Henry Card.
I was hoping if anyone had any information whatsoever on any of the mentioned people here. It would be most appreciated.

no way of knowing for sure without buying the cert or looking at the parish records as it doesn't give ages on the BMD indexes this early.

Thanks for the help JC. Many of the things you have here helped. This is where things stand now:

WILLIAM CARD was born 1781, and died in Rodney Stoke .  He married MARY EVANS, daughter of JAMES EVANS and MARY.  She was born Bet. 1790 - 1791 in Draycott , and died in Draycott.

More About MARY EVANS:

I also know of their other children, but in particular i am after information on  ABRAHAM CARD, b. Abt. 1825, Rodney Stoke
Baptism: 30 January 1825, Rodney Stoke
Census: 1841, Not listed with mother and siblings in Rodney Stoke SOM

Is there anyway of finding where Abraham was from 1841-49 and what he was doing, or if anyone has any information what so ever about this family i would be most appreciative.
