Hi
I have just looked for any Thoroughgood marriages pre1837 in Sussex and there are only 5.  This would imply that it is not a Sussex name and you may well need to look  elsewhere.
When did he arrive in Australia?   Might his first marriage be post 1837 and appear on www.freebmd.org.uk?

Thoroughgood/Thorogood are still roaming around Sussex, I know of atleast two in the area. Although it may not be a Sussex name, some have stayed in the area (not far from Brighton either).
