Hello,
I too have a Walbridge/Wallbridge connection coming to Australia. Though it doesn't appear to be your line.
My ancestor John Walbridge arrived in 1856 and settled in Kempsey,NSW,Australia. His mother Diana and brother Alfred also came here in the 1860's , settling around Kempsey.
The surname appears to get an extra " L " added to it after Federation. This may have been the original spelling as these families turn up in the 1851 Census for Crewkerne, SOM with it spelt that way.
Nice to see there are more Australian Walbridge/Wallbridge researchers around.
Yours Sincerely,
Sarah Davies-Rooke.
