From on Thursday, 28 August, 2008

I have been doing research about Dr George Playne (1802-1885) and Daniel Jennings (1795-1872) - who were both cabin passengers on the 1839 voyage of the William Metcalfe to PP.
Daniel Jennings was quite rich and a bit eccentric. They were business partners and squatted at Campaspe Plains Sta (1840-51). Jennings also was involved with a number of land transactions - sometimes in conj with Henry Miller. The Jennings couple also employed Rhoda Nowell (not Newall) who also came on the same ship. Daniel's first wife and Rhoda returned to UK in 1842, to follow her husband who had hurriedly left Melb in Dec 1841. He came back with a new wife Ellen in late 1843. He and Ellen stayed in Vic until 1851 when they returned to England.

Eliza Jennings 16, 25 single woman, Nursery maid, Canarvon, RC, came Jul 1840 on the Theresa
From Rootsweb, In July or August 1840 a vessel "Theresa" arrived at Port Philip with immigrants presumably from Britain. Amongst the passengers was Eliza JENNINGS approximately 15 or 16 years of age. I believe she spent time in the goldfields area (prior to the discovery of gold) before ending up on Kangaroo Island about 1846. I am trying to discover any details concerning her origins or family. Did she travel alone (possibly as a servant) or was she with family. At some time she "married" Thomas JOHNS(T)ON(E).

From on Sat, 25 Aug 2007 and Tue, 11 Sep 2007

I'm trying to find out what Eliza was doing between her arrival at Port Philip on 28th August, 1840?? and her giving birth to a son by one Thomas JOHNS(T)ON(E) on 26th August, 1847 on Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia. She and Thomas had several children and Eliza died in 1880 and is buried at Hog Bay Cemetery. You obviously have an interest in and knowledge of early Melbourne & environs so any help or suggestions as to what Eliza did, how when and where she met Thomas and in fact how she got to South Australia would be of immense value to me. I understand there were a number of single young people on the Theresa. Would they have been assisted immigrants destined to become servants or farm hands aka ag. labs.? It strikes me that there was no real government in Port Phillip to be offering assistance and I'm not too sure that Sydney Town would have been all that interested!
