bullet  General Notes:

John was living at Blight's Row, Redruth with his parents at the time of his marriage.

John and Elizabeth emigrated to South Australia on the Storm Cloud an iron ship of 907 tons, under the command of Capt. James Campbell. They departed Plymouth on the 12th February 1858 and arrived at Port Adelaide on the 28th April 1858. Their infant son John travelled with them and another son William Henry was born on board 2 days after their arrival, but obviously before they had disembarked.

They lived at Kapunda and Moonta in South Australia. They left South Australia, probably at the same time as John's parents about 1862 as they were in Chiltern by then, and Morses Creek (Bright) in 1864-66 and Harrietville by 1869. John was a butcher in Harrietville in 1875. John was a ratepayer and had cultivated land at Stoney Creek on the northern boundary of Harrietville in 1879.

Their religion was Church of England.
