You've probably obtained a copy of the marriage certificate for your ancestors who I see were married in 1810. This certificate might show the parents names - early ones seem to be slack in this regard. If you've not done so, go to http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/searchHistoricalRecords.htm. Will cost $29 and, if you are in NSW, take from 3 days to 3 or so weeks depending on work flow. Another big help is newspaper records see the online resource of the National Library at http://trove.nla.gov.au/. Look at http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/68206970?q=%22richard+podmore%22&l-australian=y&c=article Also check http://www.easystreetretreat.com.au/australianroyalty/individual.php?pid=I77687&ged=purnellmccord.ged I wonder if there's any joy for you in the ships passenger list? Have you seen - Gillen, Mollie. The Founders of Australia: a biographical dictionary of the First Fleet. North Sydney: Library of Australian History, 1989. See also

Heaps of stuff there (that you've probably seen). You have a much easier job than me as my lot (convicts) were fond of aliases - makes it hard to track them.

Good Luck
