The ROCHE family Western Australia

Hi, I am researching my Roche family that arrived in Australia from Ireland on board the ship THAMES in 1855. Arriving in Victoria. This was John & Ruth Roche with infant son John.
The stayed in Victoria for a couple of years then went to New Zealand. John had a Hotel called "Roches Hotel" at Lake Hayes.
I have not found John's Death but Ruth died in Perth in 1902.
Please feel free to contact me if you think we are connected.
The other family names i am reseaching are: MURNANE, MARSHALLSEA, CROSS, BANFIELD, GODDEN, WHEELER, SMITH. All these family names have some connection to my Roche family.
