I am searching for information on George and Sarah Retchless married 27 Sept 1853 at Sutton St Nicholas.

Sarah Ann Adams was born 11 Jan 1834 in Long Sutton. Before leaving for Australia in Nov 1856, George and Sarah had 2 children who had died and had a daughter named Charlotte that eventually died on the voyage. Sarah was pregnant when they left England. If anyone has any information about George and Sarah, in particular George and his parents, I would be very grateful
