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.

6 Chapte r 1 G rea t Ex pec ta ti ons

In August 1847 a little family group stood on a dirty Southampton dock . 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. Other members in this family had familiar names.1 However , we have some information that indicates our George may have been born in Bristol .2 Regardless , our George was at some stage living in the Holbeach area of Lincoln . George and Abigail 's eldest child , Sophia was born at Lincoln House , Holbeach on September 14th, 1844. In reality she was the daughter of Thomas Brett, a surgeon and resident of Holbeach .3 It would appear that this gentleman was not only responsible for securing the marriage of George to his wife, Abigail and so 'legitimising' Sophia 's birth, but he may also have been the prime motivator in the family's shift to South Australia.4

1. George Johnson , son of George and Elizabeth was christened at Burton-upon-Stather , Lincoln on 1st Sept. 1820 - see the end of chapter 2 for names of brothers and sisters. 2. Recollections of Mavis McLeod (nee Johnson), grand-daughterof George. Research indicates that a George Johnson was born in the Bristol area at the appropriatetime..." George Johnson, son of Thomas and Elizabeth was Christened at Tewkesburyon 31st Oct. 1819". 3. Sophia Cannel! Johnson'sBirth Certificate. 4. There is no evidence for this argument. Economic circumstances of the day may just as easily been the motivating force behind the decision . By the time Victoria was on the throne, the style of farming had undergone a radical change. The gentry now owned the land. The farmers rented it and the labourers worked it. The numbers of yeomen working their own land had declined following the collapse of the [over]

23 into Spencer Gulf with a party to survey Point Fergusson near Port Pine. This journey resulted in the locating and naming of Port Augusta.6

Captain Dowsett certainly led a very rich seafaring life along the South Australian coastline.

The Unfortunate Rutts Edward Isaac's mother, Grace, was the daughter of George and Anne Rutt. She was born in Kempton, Surrey in 1824 and arrived in the colony with her parents and six brothers and sisters on the Hooghly on June 17, The Hooghly, built in 1819 with a mere 5'8" of head room below decks , had up until then been a convict transporter . This vessel had made four voyages transporting convicts to Australia prior to this voyage , the first of four to Adelaide carrying migrants.

The main reason for immigration was to provide adequate labour and little concern was given to the living conditions these people experienced. The Rutts, like many other labouring families of the day, fell upon hard times immediately on arrival in the colony. As if a large family was not enough , ill-health and the death of the bread-winner devastated this family. Within a year of their arrival, both parents and two of the children were dead, killed by gastroenteritis. Of the remaining children, two were committed to the Orphan's Ward and the eldest four had to fend for themselves.

Grace married Edward on July 25,1843 and her illegitimate daughter, Mary Ann, was raised as a Dowsett.

Edward Isaac was born at Edwardstown on December 5, 1844. He had little education as he spent much of his boyhood days with his father. This only ended with his father's death when he was sixteen and he then obtained employment with the S.A. Carrying Company and travelled practically all the long distance trips that the firm engaged . Much of his work was involved in cartage for the Burra Mines. He began his own carrying business in 1875 and was responsible for carrying the stone for the Marine Board Offices and the Customs House at Port Adelaide. He also carted the material for the building of the viaduct on the hill's railway line.

As with all ports, the cartage of goods was a prominent industry. The traditional type vehicles used were the two wheeled dray and the four wheeled trolley which came in a range of sizes for the larger loads. Single horse trolleys had a capacity of about a ton, while the large five horse trolleys could load up to 4 tons. Tipping drays were used extensively for excavation work associated with the formation of new docks . A less common vehicle was the jinker which was used for the carriage of long lengths of timber.

Edward was very active in the Labor Party and his Union in the very early years of the movement. He was Chairman of the Carters and Carriers Union throughout the Great Strike of 1894. Despite his lack of formal education , Edward was fully involved in public life and represented Portland Ward in the Port Adelaide Council in 1893/4.

6. The surveying party consisted of Alexander Lang Elder, John Grainger MLC, and Messrs. Peters, Stuckey, Henderson, and Harris. They first sailed to Port Lincoln with Archdeacon Hale on board and then followed the gulf north to Point Lowly and across to Point Fergusson. They then followed the gulf further north, discovered and named Port Augusta. Captain Dowsett 's diary was given to the Archives by his grandson Oswald . It records that on May 24 , 1852 they "... went ashore to look at a lake to see if it was salt or fresh (salt). Erected on the beach a flagstaff . Gave three cheers , three times three and named it Port Augusta . Came on board at noon . Made sail and beat down the gulf .." 7. The Hooghly was one of the 150 odd ships to use Port Misery during its short three year life before Gov. Gawler established the port in its present location.

196 Getting around this CD

Navigating Archive CD Books CDs All Archive CD Books products can be navigated easily using the handy bookmarks on each CD. The table of contents in most original books, and the original book index where it exists, can provide additional ways of finding the information required.

Searching Text on Archive CD Books Australia CDs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology has been developing over the years as a useful mechanism to convert images (as Archive CD Books pages are) into text which can be searched. The quality of the OCR can still vary, and hence the searchability can vary. Around 95% or 99% of the words in books with good type are searchable—or even higher with very good type. OCR is now a wonderful searching aid in many instances but there is still no substitute for reading the book!

Different Versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader Adobe Acrobat Reader 4 or later should be used. Adobe Reader 6 (as it is now named) in fact has considerably better searching options and is recommended. • Acrobat Reader v4 has both a “Find” and a “Search” tool. Those tools are two *totally* different things. Our CDs (that are searchable) work with the *FIND* tool • Acrobat Reader v5 has only a “Find” tool (not a “search” tool). Our CDs (that are searchable) work with the *FIND* tool. • Adobe Reader v6 has only a “Search” tool (not a tool labelled “Find”). HOWEVER — what is called “Search” is the same as the tool that used to be called “Find” Our CDs (that are searchable) work with the *SEARCH* tool

Tips For Searching and Getting More From the CD Books • update to Adobe Reader 6 for more versatile searching options, including the ability to bring up a list of all instances of the word you are searching for — across multiple files on a single CD in a single search request. • enter the MINIMUM number of characters needed to bring up the search results required. • use Adobe Reader 6 to do some trial searches to try to identify the characters that may be misread. These can show up in the extra text in the search results list (Adobe 6 only). A few minutes trial will help you to avoid using characters that are more prone to being misread, e.g. try entering “rederi” if you want “Frederick”, but find that the letters “F” “c” and “k” are sometimes misread. • use the “Match whole word” option to eliminate unnecessary items in your results list, e.g. to eliminate all the blacksmiths and tinsmiths etc when you only want the name Smith. • use the “Match case” option to eliminate all the occupations “smith” if you only want the name “Smith”. • don’t just search for names. Search the book for other names, places and subjects of interest: › look for others of the same name › look for others who lived in the same place or street › who was the postmaster or police officer in the town? › how often and at what time did the coach arrive in town? › what churches were there and what time were services held? › what other activities were there in the community? › look for others who had the same occupation of other interests • all of this and more may be available in a seemingly mundane book such as a directory. You can learn much of the background of life at the time, even if your ancestor is not listed there. • Many CDs have only one file, but some have the book content spread over several files. Adobe Reader normally searches in the file that is open at the time. If you wish to search ALL files at once choose the "All PDF documents in" option and select the CD drive or directory the files are in—Adobe Reader 6 only. ADOBE ACROBAT SEARCHING IS A WONDERFUL FIRST FINDING AID. BUT DO NOT RELY ON IT TO PICK UP ALL THE INFORMATION YOU WANT
