Susannah Hannaford Explained

Susannah Hannaford, née Elliott (25 December 1790 – 7 April 1861) was an early immigrant to South Australia.

History

Susannah and her husband William Hannaford (28 April 1797 – 1838) lived in Rattery, Devon and brought up a large family. After the death of her husband Susannah liquidated all their assets and boarded the Brightman to emigrate to South Australia, landing in December 1840. The children who made the journey were Richard (19), George (18), Elizabeth (12), Frederick (11), and John (6). Son William arrived in Sydney in 1844 with his wife Harriett nee Toms. Long before any port facilities, they were obliged to wade ashore, Richard carrying his mother on his shoulders.Notable descendants include:
