Notes |
- !On the 18th. Sept 1875 John and his wife(who was registered as 18years old,
but beleived to be only 16), set sail with assisted passage on the "Gauntlet"
from Gravesend bound for Australia. They were accompanied by John's eldest
sister Mary,her husband and their six children. On Dec. the 28th. 1875 the
Gauntlet was towed to anchor off the quarantine ground at Peel Island where
they remained until the 30th. Jan. 1876 because the ship was a "fever ship".
Conditions on Peel Island were appaling, Accomodation was scanty and
insufficient for the three hundred on board. Peel Island was closed soon after
this.
John and Sarah settled on a farm at Emu Creek, about 12 miles north-east of
Crow's Nest in Queensland. They later owned a general store in Crow's Nest on
the corner of Thallion Street and Recreation Terrace. John became known as "The
Little Wonder" and his shop had the same name, he owned the shop until his
death with his sons helping to run it in later years. Besides the name of John
in the Crows Nest cemetary records are the words " The Little Wonder" and in
later years when his great-grand children had a marker placed on John and
Sarah's grave the same insctiption was added to ensure that a piece of history
survived.
Sarah was cared for by her daughter Edna ( wife of Frank Barnes) and also spent
quite a bit of time with her son Stephen and his family. Sarah died aged 82 in
1941
