All Rights Reserved For more books on CD from Archive CD Books Australia, see the web pages at www.archivecdbooks.com.au FOR E WORD : This story would not have been possible without the continued supporting work by the committee of the "Family of George Johnson Association Inc". This organisation was established in 1985 out of an interest to research the genealogy of the family. David Prime and Malcolm Jaunay had been undertaking this study for many years and had infected other members of the family with the desire to know more about their forebears. Out of this grew the committee and attempts to write a history were formalised. From 1847 until the present day, information has been gathered from formal records, newspapers and reminiscences. Our family has not been noted for keeping written records although a wealth of photographic material exists. Thus the task of following up the stories of our pioneer men has demanded much researching and ingenuity. Several points have only emerged after resifting through the huge amount of data that has been collected. Some issues have not been clarified due to the passage of time. Here the work is largely speculative. Where this occurs the points are qualified in the text. The life of our pioneer women was rarely recorded other than as scant references within the Birth Register. Like all women of the day, their life was one of subordination to the men and, in our family, of extremely hard work. While the men laboured on their farms, their wives kept the home, the kitchen garden and looked after their large brood of children without the assistance of the most basic of home appliances. Members of the committee have taken on varying roles according to their skills. All have been involved in researching their own family branch, while the more inclined have also followed up branches which did not have a representative on the committee. The writing of the book has been overseen by the whole committee who have acted as proof-readers and critics. These hard working people were:- Ruth Hooper Jean James Malcolm Jaunay Wendy Neumann David Prime Jack Prisk John Shiell Colin Whitters. Unfortunately Jack passed away before he could witness the product of his efforts. I must make special mention here of the tremendous amount of research undertaken by David Prime. He has consistently come up with the answers to most of the difficult questions I have put to him. From beyond the committee I would have to acknowledge the input by Andree Prime. The retention of her father's records led us to Phoebe Lamer, the Cannells and the Dickersons. Andree's research into Capt. Dowsett in particular was also invaluable. Reg Carpenter spent a day showing us the Houghton, Hermitage, Glen Ewin, and Highercombe districts and the places of interest to the family. Thank you to Glenys deWit, Elizabeth Jaunay and Sigrid Whitters for proof-reading the manuscript. I have been conscious of the need to write an appealing book which may interest readers beyond the family. Hence the book does not always follow the usual family history format.

They were about to undertake a great adventure. A venture which would take them to the other side of the earth in a tiny sailing ship subjected to the whims of the weather and elements . They were destined to be the pathfinders of our family in Australia - pioneers in a strange faraway country. Who made up this little group and what was to be their destiny? George and Jane Johnson, George and Phoebe Dickerson , Sophia Johnson , Sophia Spooner, Thomas Cannell and William Dickerson made up this group and this is their story... There are no personal accounts of their arrival in South Australia. Signed documents show that they were illiterate. However , contemporary records of conditions at the time paint a very clear picture for us of the circumstances our pioneer ancestors found themselves in from the time they took the decision to migrate to the colony of South Australia. Free passage to South Australia was usually granted to those who , married or single , were under thirty years of age. Older individuals over thirty years of age, like George and Phoebe had to pay their own way - £20 for those travelling steerage and up to £100 for cabin passengers . George 's land purchases in the colony indicated that he had access to a considerable amount of cash. Just where these funds originated from is lost in the passage of time, but free emigrants were also expected to be chiefly agricultural labourers, shepherds or servants and not intending to buy land or invest in the colony . This requirement would have also obliged the Dickersons to pay for their passage. Whether the Johnsons emigrated with the intention of purchasing land is not clear, but they certainly obliged themselves of the free passage. The Surgeon 's Daughter That very decision to become colonists is not even recorded , but by delving into the records of the family 's personal circumstances one can draw some possible reasons. The family lived in Lincolnshire, England along the coastline of The Wash in the area of the towns, Holbeach and Long Sutton where they worked as farmers. Enquiries reveal that there were in fact three George Johnsons born in about 1820 in the immediate area. We do not know if any of these was indeed our ancestor. The George born to George and Elizabeth on 27th January, 1820 at Burton upon Stather, Lincolnshire seems a likely candidate.

Signature of Candidate i Abstract The Hydrogeological Context of Cemetery Operations and Planning In Australia by Boyd B. Dent The purpose of this research has been to evaluate the potential contamination impact of cemeteries on groundwater. A comprehensive study of the groundwaters in the unsaturated and saturated zones of nine Australian cemeteries has been made, with most sampling between October 1996 and August 1998. Periodic sampling from 83 wells or ponds yielded 305 complete samples which were tested for at least 38 inorganic and 5 bacterial analytes. Other, partially complete samples were used for metals and bacterial analyses. The soils of all sites were tested for a range of analytes that might reflect or affect the presence of human decomposition products. The within-cemetery sampling has allowed inorganic chemical characterisation of cemetery groundwaters to an amount of detail not previously attained.

I consider it a great privilege to continue to serve as the Chair of the Centennial Park Board for another year. The tail end of this financial year has certainly brought challenges, but we were still able to celebrate many achievements throughout the year. This year Centennial Park recorded a deficit of $451K, significantly better than the budget, and after distributing a liability guarantee fee of $636K to our owner councils. A deficit was budgeted in anticipation of the introduction of new accounting standards that require a significant portion of the income received from Interment Rights to be deferred and brought to account over the entire period of the Interment Right. A commitment to sound financial discipline ensured that Centennial Park delivered a better result than budgeted, despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Centennial Park is an important place for our community and those with loved ones resting here. It is not just a place of mourning. It is a place that connects people through beautiful gardens, services, events and stories. The leadership team at Centennial Park continue their work to future-proof the Park to ensure it meets the needs of our families and the broader community.

  • The Knott Family Were Involved In
    THE FAMILY OF GEORGE KNOTT IN AUSTRALASIA FROM 1874 Introduction: The history of the Knott (also spelt Nott, Note and Nuth in English) family dates back many hundreds of years. In the 7 th century a person with the name Cnotta was used in England to describe a thickset person. There are early recorded names in England with a name which resembles the form we know. One was Robert Cnot, a Knight Templer (Crusader) in 1185. The name also has German (spelt Knothe, Knaute, Knode, Knotel, Knodgen ) and Scandinavian origins (spelt Knudsen, Knutsen and Knutsson). By the middle ages it could also be used to describe a person who lived near a hill or projecting rock as the word knott was used to describe a hillock. By 1740, when I found the earliest of our forebears, the name Knott was relatively common across areas of England. Our family came from Kent in the south east of England and were largely agricultural labourers. KENT ENGLAND: 1740: Birth of James Knott. He married a lady called Mary and they had a son they named John in 1761. 1787: On the 20 th May of this year John Knott married Judith Maley in Dartford Kent. 1803: Birth of Richard Knott, the father of George Knott who was to immigrate to South Australia. 1825-27: Somewhere around this time Richard Knott married Mary Overton and they had their first child in 1827. They went on to have 7 children, 6 boys and a girl with our forbear, George Knott born at Wingham Kent around 1831.
