POINTON Lavinia Rose

The B on the reg indicates the marriage was registered in Brisbane. Someone is sure to correct if that is incorrect

fatherAaron mother Mary Maddock

I found a bit about  this couple on  the internet

"This particular branch of the ADSETT family concerns the descendants of Aaron Adsett, sixth child of John and Ann Adsett. Aaron was born at Ewell, Surrey on 16th May 1832.
He arrived in Moreton Bay as an assisted migrant in February 1851. The immigration lists show that he was a labourer. Within three years of arriving Aaron held enough property to qualify him for the vote. This early property was held in the Breakfast Creek area.

On 9th September 1854 he married Mary Maddock who was born in Callington, Cornwall on 11th February 1836. She had arrived in Moreton Bay with her family in 1848 aboard the Artemisia.

Sixteen children were born with thirteen surviving to adulthood. '
