I’ve added to reply #10.

I too wondered if Mary was Margaret.

My Belfast/Port Fairy ancestors were Welsh.  :)

Finding him on a ship could be difficult, with such a common name.

Jamjar

His brother also come out, so if they were on the same ship that might help and his name was Edward Tiffin Reynolds.
But I was also worried that it would be very hard without a year or anything else to go by to be able to find him as well

Presume you know how William Quill fits in and do not want any help with this?

No I don't have any information whatsover on a Williams Quill, so would be very interested in knowing more

Re ship for john Reynolds, here in NZ for a time the death certificates had a section for 'how long in NZ?" This could give a rough clue about the time they had arrived and so we can look at shipping lists. 

Not sure if the death certificate in Aus for John Reynolds would have had this.  Also information on death certificates is only as good as the recollection of the informant (unless the deceased was like my mother, an avid genealogist, who had it all set out before she died so later searchers would not get any wrong leads from her death certificate!) Sometimes an obituary would have how long in Aus.

@shanreagh I have not yet seen records in Victoria showing how long they were in the colony (though that doesn't mean they don't exist), but I believe they do show that in early NSW records.

@Jamjar That is very incredible to see a record from the US from those days, thank you very much.
It is so hard when working back this far, because I don't really even know where to begin when it comes to finding that sort of record from that long ago!
I really appreciate your efforts here very much

I think it would be worth copying and pasting the US marriage onto the US board.

It would be nice if someone could find births of children to them.

Maybe on an 1841 census, if there was one.

I think you should ask the moderator to move this thread to the Australia board.

There are folk there who have access to resources you won’t find online.
