Benjamin FOULGER bn c1829 + misc

Surnames: FOULGER
I have several Benjamins in my family tree (descended from Lazarus FOULGER bn c1860) but have recently found one (not mine - yet!) which someone may be searching for. The information I have found is:

Benjamin FOULGER age 25, his wife Anne age 24, and son Benjamin age 1, arrived in Australia on the Samuel Boddington in 1855.

Benjamin snr died the same year (age 27) in the parish of Camperdown (inner Sydney) and I believe is buried at the Church of England church, Newtown.

Can anyone claim him? I would love to know who his parents are and where he came from. I have not been able to find further records here for baby Benjamin, and suspect he and his mother may have returned to the UK.

I have also found the following records on NSW BDMs which may be of use to someone:

DEATHS:
1893 William H FOULGER, and Henry FOULGER, father John, mother Lizzie, at Leichhardt (Sydney) (twins?)

MARRIAGES
1885 William N FOULGER to Jane ROSENTHAL reg Sydney
1926 Walter FOULGER to Ethel SPROSTON reg Burwood (Sydney
1944 Ronald George FOULGER to Bethea Ellen MACDONALD reg Manly (Sydney)

Could be Benjamin 1830 Coltishall Norfolk [Norfolk Parish Records]
Farther John 1785 Horstead cum Stanninghall Norfolk [1851 Census]
Mother Rachel 1787 Attlebridge Norfolk

Three others in family
Jane 1835
William 1827
Sarah 1824

The 1851 Census has the family but not Benjamin so this could be our man
