William Wiltshire of Ansty, Dorset

William Wiltshire of Ansty, born c 1823 and William was transported to Australia in 1844(for sheep stealing from Hilton, Dorset in the company of William Stickland and William Mullett).
I am trying to find William Wiltshire ancestry and also what became of him in Australia. William Wiltshire shows up on the 1841 census of Ansty, in the household of Priscilla Wiltshire born c 1799. Also in the house is Mary Wiltshire born c 1825. Priscilla still appearing in the 1881 census. On his transportation order papers he is also known as William Gillham.
I have located a marriage record for a Priscilla Stickland and William Wiltshire Gillam in Hilton 23 April 1821.

I’m try to learn more about the Wiltshire part, and information welcome.
