Margaret Berresford-Australia

My aunty says that she has linked us up with the Waterford crystal ppl, but I want proof as I am inclined not to trust her info.
The Margaret Berresford post of mine that I am replying to to add info to...says that its spelt BERRESFORD...but on her marriage record with bdm in nsw Australia it has her as BERRESFORD but on other info it is BERESFORD.
Then again the same record that has her maiden name as BERRESFORD also mispelt her husbands last name as RISH...when it was really RISK.
I dont know what her parents names were...it only says in the Father box Died 35yrs and in the Mother Box it says Died Sydney...mind you that could be info about the parents or info about herself as I think they sometimes wrote extra info about the person in the space for the parents if they didnt have info about the parents...so that info could apply to her or to her parents.
Please read my post that I am replying to...
So...Thomas Risk married Margaret Beresford in 1858 OR Thomas Rish married Margaret Berresford in 1858 or anything similar lol.
So...you Beresfords and de la Poer's....was there any of you who came to Australia...and do you know their offspring?Was there a Margaret perhaps?
They could have came to Australia alot longer ago than 1858, but if your relos came to Australia in the early part of the 1850's than that would certainly give me a more solid clue...but ANY info would be great!
Like I said I have no names for the parents...and I have no birth for Margaret Ber(r)esford...but since she married in 1858...well around the 1830 to 40's might be about right for her birth...what do you think?
