Sturtivant

AUSTRALIA

Buxton and Margaret Amelia Sturtevant of London emigrated to Australia around 1866/67 with their children Arthur Buxton, Harold Edwin and Margaret Marie. They went to live in the Melbourne area, and most of the present Australian Sturtevant s are descended from them.

They sailed to Australia aboard the WELLESLEY (built in 1844) The British ship WELLESLEY (Official No. 308; International Signal Code: HCJN), was built at Blackwall, London, by Richard & Henry Green in 1844. 1102 tons ; 162 x 36.5 x 23.1 feet (length x beam x depth of hold). The journey to Australia was a very long trip and on board a vessel of only 55m x 12m it must have been very arduous.

Some of the New Zealand family later went to Australia, and there is a stray in Tasmania who could have been from either the English or American families.
