So, William's mother Mary, also emigrated in 1855 (the tree says straw bonnet maker on a doc re the emigration), so she should be on the 1851 census?

Sorry Merry. I should have said Joseph came to Australia in 1832 as a convict and his brother as a free settled a little while later. I really know very little else. Just helping someone going through convict files.

The tree has this for the second marriage:

Marriage
13 Jan 1850 • St. Marys Catholic Church in Bristol, William aged 31, a widower of Folly Lane St Philip & St Jacob, son of William Wilks who was also a labourer. Caroline Wilson Stanton aged 24, a widow, living at the same place as William
Vol 11 page 212

Caroline Wilson DEARE
(1824–1885)

There's a GRO ref for this that I missed the first time round.

It would be helpful if anyone knows any reported ages for Mary Wilks after she arrived in 1855 (and if 1855 is correct).

Maybe they were baptised at the same place and time as my 3xg-grandmother Ann Sage who was supposedly born in the parish of St Philip and St Jacob around 1815. I have never managed to find her baptism although there are some for some of her siblings.

it seems others have found the Bristol records hard to access.

But that would have been before the parish registers and censuses went online, though.
