George Munn
The MUNN family travelled from Plymouth on board the Forfarshire to
Port Adelaide leaving Plymouth on 16th November 1873 and arriving at
Port Adelaide on 8th February 1874. Over 500 people were on the boat. 4
died during the voyage including Thomas Munn aged about 11 months. There were
also 7 births . The boat produced 280 gallons of fresh water per day and
burnt 10cwt of coal in producing the water. There were 70 children on board.
The families were assisted emigrants to the "new" colony of South Australia
which had been settled by the British in 1836 as a free colony. All other
parts of Australia were first settled by convicts and garrisons.
See detailed biographies of George
Stephens Munn (1833-1877), Caroline
Munn (1864-1945), George
Stephen Munn (1867-1953), Harry
Munn (1869-1945) at the excellent website

Tom and George Applegate
The Applegates were brothers
who lived near Hartley Green, where their father James rented a
cottage for 3 shillings a week from Fairby Farm. Tom (b 1871)
and George Stephen Applegate (b 1889) both emigrated to the town
of St Catherine in Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada. George
married Hilda Stanley, another emigrant from Britain, on 12 April
1916; while Tom married Florence Sarah Hills (b 1880) on 5 October
1912. Florence was the daughter of Henry Hills and Mary Doodney;
Mary was born in Hartley in 1853, so there is a good chance Tom
knew the family when they were in England.
Jesse and James Martin
Another pair of brothers who
both tried their luck in Canada, and again at St Catherine, Ontario,
strongly suggesting the families were in touch and encouraged each
other. Jesse (b 1886) went out first and had settled at 121
Queenston, when brother James (b 1883) arrived to stay in 1913.
James had travelled steerage on the White Star SS
Cymric from Liverpool on 27 February 1913. He is described
in US immigration records as being 5 feet 7 inches in height with
dark complexion, brown hair and brown eyes. He was one of
the poorer passengers with only 25 US dollars to his name. He
had presumably disembarked at Halifax, Nova Scotia on 9 March before
the ship arrived in Portland, Maine on 11 March as he and 3 others
are struck through on the return. In Hartley the family had
lived at 2 Black Lion Cottages, Ash Road.
John Treadwell and John Cooper Treadwell
John was born
at Fairby in Hartley in 1833, the son of William Treadwell and grandson
of Francis Treadwell. He emigrated to Melbourne, Victoria,
Australia in 1852 at the time of the gold rush, where many of his
descendants live today. His nephew John Cooper Treadwell (1868-1907)
emigrated to Wellington, New Zealand in 1890. For the full
story see the Treadwell
family website.
Albert Clealand Packman and Sarah Packman
Brother and
sister were born in Swanscombe and Greenhithe respectively. But
they were the children of William Packman (1790-1868) who was born
in Hartley, and his wife Mary Ann Cheal (1793-1887) who was born
at Ash. Albert (1846-) emigrated to New Zealand in 1865 and
shortly after married Sarah Ann Southgate at Blenheim. Sarah
(1843-1928) married George Gibson at Stone and later emigrated to
New Zealand and also lived in Blenheim. (Further
