Bake-Bergen ancestors

My ggrandmother was Mary Hannah Bergen (born 1853) who married Francis Walter Hugh Bake - born 1859 - (not sure if that was in Australia as I can't find a record for this marriage in Australia). They lived at Hill End, New South Wales, Australia and had children - Walter, Mary Alice, Ernest, William, Christina and Augusta. I am told that Francis' father was a sailor from Scotland, who came to Australia at one time with a load of silk from China. Maybe he liked it so much he talked about it back home and his son decided to settle here. Christina married my grandfather, Harold Olman Mackney at Coff's Harbour in 1914. Can someone help me with any information on my ancestors along this line?
