William Morton; Directory 1847 compositor, Collins street
The story of William's arrival is not proven - Benares arrived 9 May 1841, barque, 520 tons, James Gilkinson master, from Leith 14 Feb taking 117 days with 8 unamed Steerage passengers, Departed 14 July 1841 for Adelaide and then to UK, also sailed from Greenock 6 Feb 1842 to arrived on 18 Oct 1842 at Port Phillip. William Lockhart Morton page 14, was baptised at Green Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire, Scotland on 19 December 1820. He obtained entrance to the University of Glasgow and studied Engineering until the Depression of the 1840s forced him to curtail his studies because of financial difficulties. At this time he decided to migrate to Australia where he considered that opportunities were much better.
Morton was a passenger on the barque Benares that sailed from Greenock on 6 August 1841 and arrived at Port Phillip in February 1842. During the voyage he invented a hydraulic apparatus (a pump) for the vessel to reduce bilge-water levels. The pump was self-acting and was dependent on wave action to function.
In Victoria, he invented the sheep dip with its entry narrow fenced passages, which removed the need to catch each sheep - a practical way of dealing with the external scab mite.
Morton married Mary Anne Stone in Geelong on 20 March 1849, and subsequently they had four sons. The two younger sons died of rheumatic fever in their early twenties. The eldest son became a stockbroker and the second son a Presbyterian Minister in South Australia. Morton moved to South Australia to live in Belair with his son William Lockhart Morton junior who was a Presbyterian Minister. William Lockhart Morton senior died on 10 March 1898.
