Looking for any information on James PHILLIPS. He married Susannah LUCAS in Crayford in 1818 and died in 1845 in Dartford. They had 11 children. Susannah married again in 1848 to Thomas Tebay and migrated to Australia as assisted immigrants together with her youngest son John James PHILLIPS and his wife Lydia CLEMENT (my 3rd gr/grandparents). Would particularly like to know where he was born and who his parents/family were.

No ages given and no family as witnesses which is a disappointment.
