He married Rebecca SUNDERLAND in 1820. If anyone has any information about these two individuals or can help point me in the right direction for discovering more about their past history I would be very grateful. I believe they had six children between 1822 and 1844 in NSW: George, Charles, Thomas, Elizabeth, Sarah and Richard. Kind regards Maddy Duke

Thank you, Lesley and Rosemary for all your extremely useful information. I am researching the family of a friend, Stuart Palmer, who is descended from Sarah, daughter of William Townsend and Rebecca Sunderland. Sarah married George Spicer in 1855.
