PAGE family arrived South Australia from 1850
I’m hoping that someone may have come across one or more of these members of the PAGE family of London, England and may be able to throw some light on their life in Australia. At least three of these men were brothers:
James Page – arrived 1850 on board the ‘Jane’(?) Born 1825 I have been told that a directory gives his birth 18 Oct 1825 in London. He died 30 Sep 1913 age 88 in Mitcham, South Australia. He married Susan Elizabeth Allen 18 Feb 1851 in Adelaide. Although the SA marriage records usually provides the bride and groom’s fathers’ names, annoyingly that is not the case with James Page’s wedding. The couple had 9 children: Alice 1852, Helen Hogg (?) 1854, Clara 1855, Horace James 1857, Ernest Henry 1859, Laura 1860, Harriett 1862, Hilda Maude 1864, Halder Alfred 1868. James Page was a merchant, agent and for a time consul or vice consul for France and Switzerland: quite a prominent citizen, it seems.
William Page – arrived 1850 on board the ‘Jane’(?)
Horace Page – arrival date unknown, though possibly also on the ‘Jane’ 1850. Horace had the curious middle name Haverhill, which he may not have used in Australia. Worked for a time as a clerk at McClaren Wharf, Port Adelaide (he was there in 1859). Born 1828 (parents = Henry and Jane)
William Henry Page - arrived on the ‘Marion Moor’ in February 1853. No further details known. Born 1831 (parents = Henry and Jane)
Thomas Page – arrived Pt Adelaide 15 Sep 1850 on the ‘Jane Morrison’ from London. On 21 June 1861 James Page placed a personal ad in the South Australian Advertiser appealing for information regarding Thomas Page’s address. I suppose it’s possibly he might have moved on to another part of Australia. Born circa 1826 (parents = Henry and Jane)
If you have any information or suggestions regarding these PAGE men, or in fact any Page in South Australia in the mid-19th century I would be mightily grateful for any leads
