John Mills brewer wife Hannah dau Emma born 10 Jan 1838 baptised 9 Mar 1838 by Rev James Forbes Presbyterian
John Mills witness to wedding 18 Jun 1838 of Richard Tancard by Rev James Forbes Presbyterian
Mrs Hannah Mills (wife of John) gave consent for wedding 25 Jun 1839 of Emma Hale to William Sidebottom at St James Cathedral, Melbourne
In 1839 his young sister-in-law Emma Hale, who lived with John and Hannah Mills, married William Sidebottom, licensee of the Golden Fleece in Bourke Street. It would be hard to put the gloss of respectability on Sidebottom who had been given a life sentence (later commuted) for highway robbery, and whose time in Van Diemen’s Land included twelve months on Maria Island where he was given 100 lashes for stealing from an off shore brig.
Mr (John) Mills, in Oct 1839 employed William Bell aged 41, Farm Overseer, and Thomas Bell aged 18, Farm servant, who both came on the David Clarke
John Mills, in Jan 1839 employed Peter McSwiney aged 32, Cooper, who came on the Hope John Mills at the early age of thirty-one, died in 1841 at Somerset Cottage in Collins Street
John Mills departed 3 May 1841 from Launceston for Port Fairy on the Fox - source Launceston Courier 10 May 1841
From the first, Emma’s inheritance brought trouble. Her father bypassed his brother-in-law William Sidebottom as an executor, choosing two members of the Wesleyan Church, John Jones Peers and William Witton, to be co-executors with Hannah Mills. Five months after her husband’s death Hannah married again, and her new husband, said to have been a clerk in the brewery, took control of the Mills estate. Thomas George Washington Robinson was an associate of Sidebottom, with whom he owned land.
No one knows when the news of the will reached the cottage at Rangeworthy, or what the brothers and sisters thought of it. But all three brothers eventually sailed for Melbourne to claim a share of the convict’s fortune. Job and George Mills arrived in the depression year of 1843. Two years later Thomas Mills joined his brothers. With no resources of their own and no knowledge of the law, they showed remarkable tenacity in pressing their claims to a share in John Mills’ estate. Eventually George won his case and took possession of his hotel. Job and Thomas struggled on in a series of court actions.
From John Mills Story. He was transferred with a large consignment of convicts to the Andromeda, bound for Van Diemen’s Land. Among his fellow prisoners were some other members of the Wickwar Gang, and this may have tempered his isolation. He cannot have known, when he arrived in Hobart Town on 23 February 1827 after a voyage of over four months, what his fate would be. After being assigned for a short time to a farmer, he was sent to Hobart, where under William Stallard he learned the brewing trade. He was given a ticket of leave in 1831, with only three years to run before he could call himself a free man. It is not known how he spent those years but he must have been hard-working and enterprising. He reappears on the public record on 21 December 1836, with his signature on the marriage register in Launceston brother William he could read and write. His sixteen-year-old bride Hannah Hale made her mark. Hannah came from Hawkesbury in Gloucestershire, not far from the village where the Mills family lived. Her father, a weaver who had fought in the Napoleonic Wars, brought his family to Van Diemen’s Land
