I wonder if someone could help please. I am looking for a Nicholas Boys Bull b 2.9.1794 Stanway Essex. He married a Mary Tanner in the UK. From family info it appears he left Mary and their two children and then disappeared. He had been a mariner with the East India Company. I have found a record showing a Nicholas Boy Bull joining a Freemasons Lodge in 1842 in South Australia aged 32. I have also found a Nicholas Boys Bull with wife Mary (not sure if it is the same one) arriving in South Australia in 1839 and a child Susanna De Maltoss being born to them on 3.11.1839 in Adelaide. I have found a death of Nick Boys Bull in Adelaide 1846 aged 46 informant wife Mary. I cannot find and further records of Mary returning to the UK, she is shown living in the UK with her two sons from the marriage in 1851. I cannot find any further info on Sussana De Maltoss either. Any help would be greatly appreciated on any of them.

Nicholas Boys Bull appointed Sub-Inspector of Police, Adelaide, 1838
In 1839 he was made Superintendent of the Park Lands of Adelaide, and here he is refered to as 'Capt. Nick Boys Bull' - so he was a captain in the Royal Navy(?)

Yes, its great finding details like this. I'm wondering though if Mary stayed in Adelaide?
This looks like the daughter's marriage
Aust. marriage index
Susana Bull marr. William Williams
Adelaide 9 November 1863
father Nick Boys Bull

Thanks for the Marriage. Yes I think she may have done as the real wife Mary was living with the sons in Lambeth in 1851 and died in Lambeth 1860. But that doesn't explain her arrival in Australia unless she was another Mary and just called herself Mary Bull his wife.
