VIC BDM death certificate 20035/1964 as William Alfred John Morgan.
Arrival date: 'Shipping Intelligence', The Argus, 17 November 1853, p.4.
The three month voyage was marred by provisions of bad quality, and Edward Blewett (22) laid information in Melbourne with the Government Immigration Agent against the Master on behalf of the passengers. Arrival date: 'Shipping Intelligence', The Argus, 4 October 1859, p.4.
Cause of death - double pneumonia and exhaustion
John died a week before Christmas, and nine weeks after his first and only child was born.
Grace was still married to William Lenderyou when she married Gabriel Blewett in Melbourne in 1862. The marriage to Gabriel was bigamous (this was known in the Blewett Morgan family and was, for Gabriel's sister Elizabeth at least, a bone of contention). William Lenderyou was living with his parents in Helston, Cornwall, when the 1861 census was taken. Grace had already emigrated to Victoria in October 1858 with her youngest brother William Arthur, without her husband in tow. William Arthur married in Fitzroy on 9 April 1862 (VIC BDM 1878/1862), six days later, and Grace was one of the witnesses. Their marriages appear one after the other in the marriage register.
William Lenderyou died in 1864 in Helston, Cornwall. Grace was free to re-marry Gabriel Blewett in 1865. Why did they bother? I can't fathom it.
