South Australia: George PICTON, born 1839, Manchester

[BAC3]

Hello,

George PICTON, the son of Edward PICTON and Elizabeth PICTON (nee SOWERBY) was born in Manchester in July/August 1839.

He was transported to WA aboard the Corona, arriving Fremantle 22/12/1866.   He was awarded his Certificate of Freedom on 27/06/1870 and then migrated to South Australia a little while later.

Could someone help with details, if available, of George PICTON in South Australia please.

Thank you,

BAC3

Thank you garstonite,

I had managed, hopefully, to have completed a full narrative for George PICTON prior to his transportation.

Although I live in Australia it is not my area of expertise.

But Catherine that Aussie33 found as possible Wife for George may have been a Widow.

Excerpt from entry below;

Frederick Lintott died on July 3rd 1875 (aged 46) in Greenough***.  Catherine died ??

Thank you for the details.

There appears to be every reason to accept that this may be the same person and I shall carry my research from this point on in the understanding he returned to WA.

Hello,
the Evening Journal (SA) 27 Feb 1883 reported in Shipping News that a passenger Mr George Picton had arrived into Port Adelaide onboard the 'Annie Taylor' from Esperance Bay.

Don't know if it is connected to your George, but thought I would add in to the mix.
Regards
Jen
