Hi Here is what I have....
Aylmer Edwin Campbell B. 17/5/1818 ? maybe Scotland or Ireland...immigrated to Australia 1835....prior to this he had spent some time in Indis....he was a mariner....he married Catherine Alexander (Irish) in Sydney 4/3/1839....had several children...
John Thomas b-1837 ( our line )
Aylmer Edwin b-1836
Annie b- 1840
Eleanor b-1841
Catherine Charlotte b-1843
Netterville Barton b-1845
Edwin Septimus b-1847
Emma b-1848
Alexander George b-1849
Emma Jessie b- 1851

Believe his parents were John Campbell and Eleanor Sourke and he had at least one brother John Keating Campbell and possibly a James and Septimus and a sister Emma.
In Brisbane he was Captain of a boat called The Experiment which went to and from Brisbane and Ipswich.
He died in Brisbane 11/1/1854.
And this what I have found so far...hope it helps. Would love to confirm parents and place of birth and go further back.Read somewhere his father had a title which Aylmer turned down when he wanted to immigrate but not sure about that.
