• Notes

  Mary Ann followed Daniel to Australia in 1854, She sailed on the Hornet (a clipper ship built in 1851 by Westervelt & Mackay, New York. Dimensions: 207'×40'×22' and 1426 tons - it caught fire and burned 03 May 1866), under Capt Alexander Shand. She would have boarded on 29 July 1854 at Liverpool, and they sailed with the tide on 01 Aug 1854. It was an 81-day voyage. The "Hornet" arrived at Geelong on 23rd October 1854. The arrival of the "Hornet" in October 1854 meant that Mary Ann also landed in the biggest crisis the colony had ever faced. This was the revolt of the miners in Ballarat against the arbitrary nature in which their licence to mine was enforced and the corruption of the local officials, which culminated in the Eureka Stockade rebellion, which was crushed on the morning of December 3rd 1854 at Ballarat. As this mythic event in Australia's history. They later settled in Williamstown. The 1903 Electoral Rolls show them living in the Melbourne Ports District in Williamstown North at 7 Mariner Street. Daniel was still working as a blacksmith. Mary Ann's place of birth is under debate (Bermuda) as her father was serving with the 96th Regiment of Foot in 1826 and the regiment was based in Bermuda at that time. He was discharged in 1828. buried 28 Mar 1910 in the Presbyterian Section of the Williamstown Cemetery in Williamstown, Victoria, Australia - Plot: PRES C 17 003 - married 4 Dec 1846 in Denny, Stirlingshire, Scotland -
