Found this...
ARRIVAL OF THE UNION The Auckland Chronicle March 25th 1843 The "Union" barque, Mark Todd, commander, arrived here on Thursday evening, direct from London, with emigrants. Cabin passengers --- Mr and Mrs Bolland, Mr Philip Wright, Mr Henry Govett [became Archdeacon of Taranaki in 1858], Marianne Reay, Charles Reay, and Jane Reay. - Intermediate, --- Mr and Mrs Hardy and child, Mr Wilkinson, Mr Lewis Williams, and Mr Christopher Wiltshire. Twenty-six bounty emigrants, and twenty-two steerage passengers. The vessel left Gravesend on the 18th October, and by stress of weather was compelled to put up in Cowes, where she left on the 29th October. We have London papers to the date of the "Union" leaving Cowes, but later intelligence has been received by the "Glenverbie", at Sydney, and the "King William", at Hobart Town.

There were a couple of other clergy on that sailing, Philip Wright and Bolland were also priests. CMS must have made a bulk booking!

Quote:
 And Ireland will make sense of why I cannot find them in 1841. The birth of Robert in 1839 is not registered in England, maybe he was born in Ireland. If I could just work out why he was baptised in Shropshire I could start making some sense of this itinerant family!

If you can get an image or full transcription of that baptism, Chris, it might have extra info to explain it, and it should at least show the family's "abode".
