Clipped from a web forum: there are a few errors but some other leads to follow.Cianne Note: Jonas Greatwiks; Jonas Greatrex; John Greatrex; John Greatrix; John Grotrix; Jns Greybrigs: I believe these are all the same person - Jonas Greatrex, my 3x great-grandfather, who lived in Ashfield, Sydney during the years mentioned. Jonas Greatrex (1806-1870), his wife Mary Owen and their daughters, Mary Ann (1829-1905) and Catherine (1835-1894) arrived in Australia in 1839 on the "Forth". Catherine - my great-great-grandmother- was born during the voyage. In 1862, Jonas Greatwiks paid deposits John Greatwiks aged 28, his wife and 4 children aged 10, 8, 6 and 4 from High Street, Limerick City. John was a tinplate worker. The Parish Priest of St John's, Limerick provided character references . The family arrived on the "Ocean Empress". [Greatwiks - Did Jonas have a speech defect - unable to sound ‘r’?] In 1863, Jonas Greatrex paid deposits for James Enright aged 31, his wife Eliza, and their children Belinda aged 7, Thomas aged 3 and Joseph aged 1. Also in 1863, John Greatrex paid a deposit for Johanna Mara, a servant aged 22. In 1963, John Greatrix paid deposits for Daniel McCarty (McCarthy) a labourer aged 18; and Mary McCarty (McCarthy) a servant aged 20 - both from Ballingarry, Co. Limerick. Character references were from the Ballingarry Parish Priest. Note on the immigration book for this ship: Daniel and Alice, travelled separately on this voyage. Alice gave information that she had a cousin, John Grotrix, in Ashfield, Sydney, NSW. Daniel had a friend, Jns Greybrigs, in Ashfield, Sydney, NSW. In 1876, Edward Greatorex paid deposits for James Greatorex, a labourer aged 17. He arrived on the "Earl Dalhousie"; and Ellen Greatorex, a servant aged 40 - no record of her arrival. Both were from 6 Mary Street, Limerick City. Character references were provided by James Sinright from the same address. [James Sinright is possibly James Enright, who was sponsored by Jonas in 1863, and didn't arrive here.] The Immigration Book for this ship and voyage gave this information on James: In 1877, James Greatorex paid deposits for Ellen Enright, a servant aged 48; and her son, Joseph Enright, a baker aged 16. Both were from Mary Street, Limerick. Their referee was William Delaney from John Street, Limerick. |

50th Foot - Excerpts from "The History of the Fiftieth" by "The 50th Regiment received orders to hold itself in readiness to embark for Bengal, to relieve the 49th, on the 11th December, 1839. The head-quarters and first division of the regiment embarked at Sydney, under Major Anderson, K.H. (Colonel Wodehouse, commanding, having been invalided), in the ship "Crusader," on the 29th January 1841, and the second division under Major Ryan, in the ship "Lady McNaughten," on the 30th of that month, leaving one company under Brevet-Major Sergeant to follow with the recruits expected from England. This last party was afterwards shipwrecked in Torres Straights, and the ship "Ferguson," which carried them, became a total wreck." |
