Other Powell's of South Australia

The charts on this page map 20 distinct Powell family groups that emigrated to South Australia during the 1800s (note that the first white settlement in South Australia was in 1836). Between them, these family groups (along with my own Powell's which are charted on a separate page, No.21 below) account for over 95% of all events in the South Australian BMD indices up to the early 1900s. The remaining BMD events are too piecemeal to be able to construct family groups and can likely be accounted for by immigrants dying without issue or transients in the state, either immigrants from outside of Australia or individuals or families passing through the state from the eastern states & heading further west. I have not included family groups where the mother's maiden name was Powell unless the mother had Powell family in the state (that is, single Powell females who emigrated & married in the state & female Powell's who married & then emigrated with their husbands are not included in this work) - this work, after all, is tracing individuals with the Powell surname. I have found passenger records for an additional 30 or so male Powell's who emigrated to South Australia between 1836-1885, some single, some with families. Some died single, some were transients, others were undoubtedly visitors, either government officials, those on business or visiting family. The core of this work has been the BMD indices, however I have also used the SA Biographical Index, Cemetery records & SA newspapers, among other sources. Should anyone be able to provide information on additional family groups, I will be happy to include those groups here. Additions & corrections are also welcome, both of individuals and also of background information on those listed below (biographical material, obituaries, newspaper reports, etc).

John Powell, born 1832. Arrived in South Australia by 1857

After John's wife died in 1886 he moved to Broken Hill, NSW, where he married a few years later & had two additional children. John's oldest child remained in South Australia with his family. John does not appear to have died at Broken Hill and there is no record of his death in South Australia. The NSW BMD index has the deaths of 8 John Powell Jr's between 1894-1935, all bar one in Sydney. Plus the death of a John, son of unknown parents (John, s/o John & Fanny, died 1907, Jerilderie, NSW, & John H, s/o unknown, died 1897, Warren, NSW.[22]) John & his remaining children vanish from Broken Hill by the late 1890s & I have been unable to trace them any further. The family did not return to South Australia and the large number of Powell's in other states combined with common forenames makes tracking this family further very difficult (the Broken Hill connection was only established by the finding of the obituary of John's son, William, in Broken Hill - see below). Given the number of children that John Jr had and that there are obvious gaps between the children of John & Bridget, it is possible there were additional children, however there is no trace of other children born in either NSW or Victoria, nor any obvious death in those states.

John Powell, born 1846, Co Shropshire, England. Emigrated to South Australia 1866
John was one of many John Powell's who arrived in South Australia in the 1800s (by far John was the most common forename amongst Powell immigrants). John's passenger record indicates he was a resident of "Salop", variously used as an alternative name for the county of Shropshire and also the town of Shrewsbury, in Shropshire. The IGI contains numerous John Powell's born about 1847, however none with Henry as the father. There is of course no reason to presume John was native to Shropshire, merely that he resided there immediately prior to emigrating. Shropshire borders on Wales where Powell is an extremely common surname.

John Powell, s/o William, settled in the Mount Gambier district in the mid 1850s according to his obituary. He emigrated with his first wife, Harriet, and two children (one died on the voyage, the other vanishes from the records, possibly died in infancy). John settled in the Murray district, which at the time comprised the south-east portion of South Australia, including the Mt Gambier district. After the death of his first wife John remarried and had issue with his second wife.

1.1. John Emmett Powell,[1,88,111] born 1825,[27,110] Kingkerswell, Co Devon, England.[110] Died 16/4/1893, Mount Gambier, South Australia (68yo).[1,8,110,111] Buried 18/4/1893, Section E 1S, plot 3, Lake Terrace Cemetery, Mount Gambier, South Australia (68yo).[78]
  "The South-Eastern Star of April 18 chronicles the death of two very old colonists and old residents of the district... Mr. John Powell, who died at the age of 68, was one of the best known of the local farmers. He arrived at Mount Gambier in the early days of its settlement and had lived there continuously for about 40 years. He was engaged for many years as a qnarryman and limeburner, with which vocations he combined careful and systematic farming. He took an active and intelligent interest in local public matters, and for several years was chairman of the Gambier East District Council, during which time he was unsparing in his efforts to promote the welfare of the district. The Star says.—"He was an active supporter of Christ Church, and held the position of churchwarden at the time of his death. He also took a very deep interest in the local Lodge of Oddfellows, and was a past provincial grand master of the order. A man of sterling integrity and untiring industry, yet he did not enjoy so large an amount of success as his efforts deserved. His loss will be very greatly felt by a large circle of friends as well as by his family. The immediate cause of death was heart disease consequent upon a severe attack of rheumatic fever from which he suffered some years ago.(Advertiser, 20/4/1893, p5)"[5]  
Church of England.[1] Miner, 1852.[113] Farmer, quarry owner, limeburner.[1] Married 1st Harriet Brooks.[8,14,113] Harriet born 1823 & died 19/12/1853, Murray district, South Australia (30yo).[8] John & his family emigrated to South Australia on the "Sea Park", departing London 29/7/1852 & Plymouth, England, 24/8/1852 & arrived Port Adelaide, South Australia 10/12/1852.[113] (John (29yo), Harriet (28yo), James (2yo) & Jane (inf), James died on the voyage.[113]) Married 2nd Lucy Jane D'Oyley Allchin,[111] 15/10/1861, Mount Gambier, South Australia.[1,27,88,110] Marriage at residence of C.

George Frederick Powell, born 24/9/1853, Murray district, South Australia.[14] {Whilst available documentary evidence points to the spouse of Edith Randall being the s/o John & Harriet, family tradition within this family holds that George came from St Gluvias, Co Cornwall, England and that he was the s/o John & Grace Powell.[227] The marriage announcement does lend some credence to this possibility. However I have not found an emmigrated for George and there is no trace of the death of his parents in SA. Given the ubiquity of the surname, searching in other states would be most difficult. There is also no other trace of George, s/o John & Harriet} Married Edith Clara Margaret Randall, 22/9/1879, Christ Church, North Adelaide, South Australia.[27] "Powell-Randall.

John William Powell, born 12/8/1862, Mount Gambier, South Australia.[14,110,111] Died 12/2/1900 (killed in action), Hobkirk's Farm, Rensburg, South Africa.[111] Buried Kloof Camp, Hobkirk's Farm, Rensburg, South Africa.[111] Later reinterred Garden of Remembrance, Colesberg, South Africa, his memorial inscription reads "To the dear memory of my son, John Wm Powell, Lieutenant 1st, South Australian Contingent, Killed in action at Hobkirks Farm, Feb 12, 1900. A loving son, a loyal churchman, a gallant officer.".[111] Saw action in the Boer War in the First South Australian Mounted Rifles Contingent, rank of 1st Lieutenant.[111] Did not marry.[27]
  "John William Powell, the eldest son of John and Lucy Powell, was born at Mount Gambier, South Australia, on 12 August 1862. After his father’s death in 1893 he took over the family farm. A single man, he joined ‘D’ Company Infantry in 1886 and worked his way up to the rank of Lieutenant, receiving his commission in 1897. Powell enlisted and embarked at Port Adelaide on the transport Medic, on 2 Nov 1899, arriving in Cape Town on 25th November. The First Australian Regiment was formed at Cape Town on 26th November, 1899 by the amalgamation of the companies sent to South Africa from Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania under the command of Colonel J C Hoad, Victoria. The unit was in Naauwpoort about the end of January; then went to Rensberg, and then to Maeder’s Farm, where they were supplied with horses, and converted into Mounted Infantry. In the fighting which took place at Hopkirk’s Farm Lieutenant Powell was killed on 9 February 1900. Powell was the first South Australian to be killed in South Africa. He was described as alert, intelligent, and painstaking in the discharge of his duties and a thoroughly efficient officer. When news of his death reached Mount Gambier: Flags were flown half-mast over business houses and at the Rechabite Hall, of which lodge Lieutenant Powell was a member, the black flag floated sadly in the breeze. A similar flag was flying at the Oddfellows’ Hall. An impressive memorial service was held in the Institute Hall in Mount Gambier. It was attended by a broad section of the community including thirty members the Mounted Rifles, sixty from the Infantry, upwards of ninety-six Oddfellows and about thirty members of the Morning Star Tent of the Rechabite lodge, who assembled at Christ Church and marched to the hall. All who took part in the procession wore mourning sashes or badges. Crowds lined the streets and many were unable to gain admission to the hall for the service. The Venerable Archdeacon Young delivered an eloquent and powerful address. The service closed with the playing of ‘Go bury thy sorrow’, after which the troops marched up and down Commercial Street. Another memorial service, at the church, which John Powell had attended, featured members of ‘D’ Company, 2nd Battalion. They met at the Military Hall and marched to Christ Church of England, wearing black armbands as a mark of respect. Several other churches in Mount Gambier and Kingston made reference to his death, singing funeral hymns, with military bands playing the Dead March in Saul. The South Australian Government decided that in Powell’s honour the name of the new settlement under the Closer Settlement Act, on the banks of the Torrens River, should be altered from Klemzig to Powell. The return of Lieutenant Powell’s remains to Mount Gambier was also considered. As he was the first South Australian to fall on a battlefield it was thought appropriate to return his body to his hometown for burial under a suitable monument. Initially, John Powell was buried at Hopkirk’s Farm where he died but his remains were later moved to the Colesberg Garden of Remembrance."[111]

William Powell, born 1841, possibly Co Worcestershire, England. Emigrated to South Australia 1848

William emigrated as a child, accompanying John & Elizabeth Nock of Co Worcestershire, England.[5] It is a reasonable (but currently unproven) assumption that William was also a native of Co Worcestershire. The Nock's initially settled at Port Adelaide,[5] hence William's early appearance there as an adult. Like many South Australians of the time, William appears to have spent a few years living & working at the mines in Broken Hill, as evidenced by the death of his wife there in 1901.


1. William Powell,[1] born 1841.[8,27,82] Died 31/7/1913, Glanville, Adelaide, South Australia (71yo).[8,82,94] "William Powell, a colonist of 65 years, died at his son-in-law's (Mr W. H. Mark's) aged 73 years, Arrived SA 1848, with the late John Nock, aged 8 years. Wife died at Broken Hill, about 11 years ago. 3 daus & 3 sons.(Observer Chronicle, 27/12/1913, pp.41-42)"[82] Emigrated to South Australia, 1848,[5,82] on the "Duke of Bedford", as a child accompanying John & Elizabeth Knock of Co Worcestershire, England.[5] Married Jane Lambert, 24/4/1865, Salisbury, South Australia.[1,27] Marriage at residence of Joseph Lambert.[27] Jane, d/o Joseph & Jane, born 21/1/1841,[27] died 8/8/1901, Broken Hill, NSW, Australia.[1,82] Jane was a signatory of the Women's Suffrage Petition, 1894.[120] Resided Salisbury & Port Adelaide, South Australia.[1] Resided 1894, Teakle Street, Exeter, South Australia.[120]

Richard Powell, born 1813, possibly Co Oxfordshire, England. Emigrated to South Australia 1848

There is some confusion as to the surname of Richard's wife. The birth registrations of their children in South Australia give her name as Mary Jones, however the death index for daughter Sophia gives her mother's name as Mary Ann Webb. There is sufficient evidence to confirm that the Sophia who emigrated with Richard & Mary was the one who died in Victoria, which in turn supports the claim in [13] that Richard married Mary Ann Webb and both Richard & Mary died in Portland, Victoria. There is certainly no trace of Richard & Mary's deaths in South Australia. Lacking any evidence other than the SA birth index that Richard's wife was Mary Jones, I am assuming she was Mary Ann Webb. Richard's daughter, Sophia, moved to Victoria in the late 1870s. It is likely Richard & Mary also moved to Victoria at the same time, consistent with their 3rd daughter, who remained in South Australia, marrying at her brother's residence in South Australia, 1882, and their 2nd daughter marrying in Victoria, 1878. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there was not two Richard Powell's, married to Mary Webb & Mary Jones, respectively, who both emigrated to South Australia around the same time with a daughter Sophia.


1. Richard Powell,[14,27] s/o Joseph, born 1813.[29] Died 1899, Portland, Victoria, Australia (86yo).[13,29] In 1851 was a freeholder, Unley, South Australia.[5] In 1859, then residing at Port Gawler, South Australia, Richard was declared bankrupt:
  "I the undersigned, Richard Powell, of Port Gawler, in the Province of South Australia, farmer, formerly of Adelaide, wheelwright, do hereby declare that I am unable to meet my engagements with my Creditors. Dated at the hour of 1 o'clock in the afternoon, this twenty-ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine. Witness ________ (left blank), a Practitioner of the Supreme Court of South Australia. Filed in Court this twenty-ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight himdred and fifty-nine, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. John R. Spence, Official Assignee.(SA Advertiser, 30/4/1859, p1)"[5] "Insolvency Judgements. To the Editor of the Advertiser. Sir-On the 9th day of May Mr. Commissioner Mann sent me to a debtors' prison for two months for selling a portion of the remnant of my property to pay an attorney to carry me through his Court. Besides doing this, the said Commissioner suspended my certificate for 12 months. Now, Sir, from a recent report published in your journal, I see that one Richard Powell, insolvent, guilty of the same offence, was opposed also on the same grounds; but he had another attorney, who upset the Commissioner's law on this point, and got his client through the Court without any imprisonment, and got his certificate suspended for only six months. I wrote to the Commissioner calling his attention to this injustice done me, and asking for redress. No answer! What am I to do, Mr. Editor? The 21 days' notice, required to be given after judgment, of appeal, has expired, and I am left to linger out an unjust sentence in gaol, and liable to be pounced upon any hour for 12 months after I get out by the Official Assignee for any shilling's worth of property I possess. Surely,'Sir, the amended Insolvent Act will do me and others justice. At any rate, I trust you, as an editor and senator, will stand up for balancing evenly the scales of Justice. Knowing I have right on my side, I have no hesitation in subscribing myself in full. Yours, &c, James Furbrache.. H.M. Gaol, Adelaide, June 21 1859.(SA Advertiser, 22/6/1859, p2)"[5]

Charles Joseph Powell, born 1826, London, England. Emigrated to South Australia 1857

Charles' wife is listed as Ann nee Daniels on their assisted immigration record, however her surname is given as Jones in the SA birth index for their children. Given that I have found other cases where the mother's surname was listed wrong in the birth index ("Jones" was also used in that case), I have gone with the name as per the immigration record. It is one of those curious quirks in genealogy that Charles was born Hackney, London and died Hackney, South Australia.


1. Charles Joseph Powell,[5] born 1826,[1,85,113] Hackney, London, Co Middlesex, England.[1,113] Died 19/6/1900, Hackney, Adelaide, South Australia ('95yo').[8] Buried 21/6/1900, West Terrace Cemetery, Adelaide, South Australia (95yo).[25]
  On 25/7/1874 & 26/7/1874 Charles was involved in altercations with William Warne. The earlier incidence involved William Warne & Charles' son, William, with Charles 'aiding and abetting' the fight. The second incident involved William Warne & Charles, with a Henry John Powell (unidentified, older than Charles) abetting the fight: "Police Courts, Friday 31 July. William Powell and Wm. Warne, of Adelaide, labourers, were informed against by Inspector Shakspeare for fighting in Gilbert-street on July 25. Charles Powell was charged with aiding and abetting. It was asserted that Wm. Powell and Warne had created a disturbance which collected a crowd. Charles Powell was stated to have incited his son to strike his opponent after a temporary cessation of hostilities. It was shown, however, that he had endeavoured to part the combatants, and the charge against him was therefore dismissed. The other defendants were mulcted in 10s and 10s costs; 20s each in all.(SA Register 1/8/1874, p3)"[5] "Chas. Powell and Wm. Warne, of Adelaide, laborers, were charged by Inspector Shakespeare with fighting in Gilbert-street on July 26, and Henry John Powell was informed against for aiding and abetting them. From the evidence of the inspector and Police-constable Clifford, it appeared the younger Powell and Warne were fighting about half-past 9 on Saturday evening, and felt down in the scuffle, when the elder Powell picked them up and incited them to continue the conflict by saying "Now, then." He afterwards said 'Charley is too drunk to fight now, but he can fight it out on Sunday morning.' The elder Powell, who said he made the latter remark for them to desist fighting, was discharged, and the other defendants were fined 10s each and costs—in all £1 each.(SA Advertiser, 1/8/1874, p4)"[5]

  "The Beefacres Fire. The city coroner resumed the inquest on the fire which occured on the Beefacres estate, the property of Messrs. Hart Bros., on February 13, at the Modbury Hotel, on Monday, March 9. Mr. Kelly was foreman of the jury. Henry Powell, laborer, of Golden Grove, said be was once in the employ of the owners of Beefacres, but did not know the exact dates. It was when the reservoir was being constructed. There was a great bother made about some young trees having been cut down, but he was not working at Beetacres then. He was satisfied with the work he had to do, and the wages he obtained, but not with the hours of employment, and told Mr. Thomson (the manager of the estate) that he would leave. He said his time was from 7 till 5 o'clock, and he would not work longer. He left on a Wednesday, and on the following day went to work on the reservoir. He had no conversation with Mr. Thompson before leaving, and had no unpleasant feeling, or said any disagreeable words against that gentleman. He left Mr. Thompson on friendly terms. He went back on November 3 and asked to be taken back again, but Mr. Thompson said in reply: "No, I would not give yon a job if you were dying for one." Witness went straight away without saying anything, and got home about quarter past 3 p.m. He afterwards obtained work haymaking for Mr. Morris. He did not know when the trees were cut down, and heard nothing about them until the police came on November 4 to enquire into the matter. He had intended to sue Mr. Thompson for accusing him of cutting the trees. He heard or saw nothing of any fire on February 13. Did not remember saying to his father-in-law, Chase, "If I had different boots on I would have got four or five years." Showed the constable a pair of boots, and he said "Those are not the boots." Witness never left home after 7 p.m. When he received the subpoena to attend the inquest he remarked to the policeman, "Never mind, I won't be there." He said that because be was ill at the time. The constable threatened to fetch him handcuffed if be did not. He further said to the constable, "Mr. Thompson, of Beefacres, will have to pay for this," and "This is some of Thompson's doing." He went to bed about 7 o'clock on February 13, and did not go out till 2.30 next morning. Witness afterwards said he did not go out till 2.30 on the day of the 13th inst., when he went to chop some wood. He did not see any fire, and did not hear of any until the 15th February, or two days afterwards. The morning of the 12th was light as the moon was up. He was not at Teatree Gully or Modbury on the day of the fire, but was at the former place on the 16th. His wife was with him, as he never went out without her. Mary Ann Powell said she was working with her husband (the previous witness) on February 13. They got home about 6 o'clock, and went to bed about 8. He could not have got up during the night without her knowledge. When they were going home she saw the blaze of a fire. It was dark at the time. Her husband also saw the fire and smoke as well. She had never talked with her husband as to what evidence she should give. Her husband was at home on November 4, the day the trees were destroyed. Edward Chase, father of Mrs. Powell, said he was at her house one day in November last. He noticed Powell take out a pair of boots to the police, and on his return he said "It is a good job they did not get my other boots; I might have got four or five years." John Robertson, of Golden Grove, said that Powell and his father, Charles Powell, were working for him. They were engaged in cutting wood. On February 13 noticed the father's wood-pile to be the largest, and consequently asked where the son was. He replied, "Oh, he left at 12 to go to Teatree Gully for groceries." George Powell, a brother to Henry, had told witness that he had heard his brother Henry say "He would play Thompson a trick and burn his place down," but he had afterwards promised not to do so. John Low Thompson, manager of Beefacres, said Powell had applied for work last winter, and although he did not want him he gave him work. No sooner had Powell commenced than he began to complain about his employment, and in consequence he was dispensed with as soon as possible. Witness refused to take the man on again on November 3 for the harvest on account of his previous conduct. Said, "I will not let you work for nothing." Powell went away mattering some thing to himself which sounded like a threat. Next day it was discovered that several ball taps had been broken, thus setting the water running, and 150 young trees cut down. Not much damage was done by the fire. He could not charge Powell with having committed either acts. Frances Morgan said Powell, who was her nephew, was with his wife at her house February 10. She had seen Powell pass towards Modbury on the 13th by himself. Mounted-Constable Matthews, before giving evidence, asked Powell to put on a soft hat produced. He was stationed at Prospect. On. February 13, about a quarter to 8 p.m., he saw a fire on the Beefacres estate. He went, and found it burning in a paddock adjoining Hampstead-road. He and others put it out. He was returning to Prospect when he noticed a fire start in the Stockade paddock. On getting up to it be found Mr. Thompson and several men there. He then went to look about the neighborhood, and while going towards Hope Valley he saw a third fire near Modbury, and shortly after a fourth blaze. He was proceeding very cautiously when he saw a man coming from the direction of the fourth fire. Witness stopped him, and in reply to questions he said he was going to Adelaide, and had been to Modbury to look for work, as he had been out of employment for a week. He also said he had noticed three men go into the paddock where the fourth fire started. Witness took the man about 30 yards, when his horse became restive, and the man got through a fence, saying, "No you don't this time." Threatened to shoot him if he did not stop, but he got away in the dark. Afterwards made enquiries, and found that no man answering the description had been seen in Modbury that day. When he saw Powell previous to his being in court he (witness) was satisfied he was not the man he had seen and questioned, but had since recognised him by his voice and general appearance, and would swear he was the man he saw on the Modbury-road and who escaped. The coroner summed up, and the jury returned a verdict "That the fire on the Beefacre estate, on February 13, was the work of an incendiary; and, further, that Henry Powell is the man who committed the act." The coroner accordingly committed Powell for trial, who in answer as to whether he had anything to say, said, "I am not the man who set fire to the grass on the Beefacres estate. I was not away from home the night of the 13th ultimo." Bail was allowed in two personal and one other surety of £40 each, but was not forthcoming.(SA Advertiser 12/3/1885, p7)"[5]

John Henry Powell, born 24/3/1878, Unley Bury, South Australia.[14] "Mr. T. O. Jones, J.P., held an inquest at Uley on Tuesday evening, April 30, into the circumstances attending the death of a child five weeks old. Mr. S. Small was chosen Foreman of the Jury. Elizabeth Jane Powell, single woman, living with her parents, said the deceased was her child, and was healthy when born, and continued so for a fortnight, when sores broke out on its head and face. Suckled the child, but it began to pine and waste away, and died in her arms on Saturday last. Sent for the doctor twice while the child was ill, but he did not come. Had a child before, 18 months ago, which died three weeks after its birth. Had no doctor to see that child, as there was no time. It died in a fit. No inquest was held. Took every care of the child. Ann Powell, mother of the last witness, said her daughter was 19 years old. She had been in service, but had lived at home for the last 18 months. Was present when the last child was born; it was healthy, and kept so for two or three weeks, when it became unwell. Sent her husband for a doctor, but he was from home, and could not come. The child was kept clean and had every attention. Her daughter had a child about 18 months ago. It died in a convulsive fit when three weeks old. Elizabeth Beck, married woman, said she knew the deceased infant, as she was present a few minutes after it was born. It was a healthy child, and was well cared for. Chas. Powell, father of the mother of the infant, said that on the day before Good Friday he went for Dr. Dawes to come and see the child. The doctor was not at home, and he left a message for him to come at once. Did not go again, but a man called at the doctor's last week to come and see the child. The doctor was not at home then. Dr Dawes, of Gawler, said he examined the deceased infant externally, and found no marks on the body, but sores and irruptions on the head and forehead. Such a state was likely to arise from disease in the head and would cause an abcess, which might produce death. The child seemed well cared for. On Good Friday, when he returned home, he was given a message about this infant, but he was so much engaged that he could not go for two days, when not hearing anything further he thought he was not wanted. The message last week came also when he was from home, and did not say that the child was very bad. The messenger was advised to see another doctor. The Jury found 'That the infant, John Henry Powell, died from natural causes.'(SA Advertiser 2/5/1878, p5)"[5]

On 25/4/1862 the marriage was dissolved by petition.[115,231]
On 13/11/1888 in the Supreme Court, before their Honors the Chief Justice and Mr Justice Bundey,
"An Old Matrimonial Suit. W. L. Powell v. Mary P. Powell and John Poile.
On June 17, 1863, this cause was tried in the Supreme Court, before the late Chief Justice (His Honor Richard D. Hanson) and a Jury, when a verdict was returned that the respondent, Mary Parker Powell, had committed adultery, with the co-respondent John Poile. After the verdict, the petitioner desired of his brother, Samuel Smith Powell, now of Glenelg to do what was necessary to get the order dissolving his marriage drawn up, he having left the province to reside in Canterbury, New Zealand. Accordingly, Mr. Samuel S. Powell had an interview with the late Talbot B. Brace, the Proctor, who acted for the petitioner in the suit, and paid him his charges, which he said would include his costs for drawing up the order or decree, dissolving the marriage of the petitioner with the respondent. In an affidavit dated November 12th, 1888, Samuel S. Powell stated that he had that day been informed for the first time that the order had not been drawn up. Mr. J. Nicholson moved that the Court grant an order to dissolve the marriage. He had made search, and found no record of the order being made. The Chief Justice said the application was an extraordinary one. Had the Judge's notes been found? Mr. Nicholson said he had not seen them. The Chief Justice thought that they could be found.

Abraham Powell, born 1813, Bristol, England. Transported to Tasmania (convict) 1833 or 1842. Thence to SA

Abraham's marriage, death and the births of most of his children do not appear in the South Australian BMD index, however his children all married in South Australia and his known grandchildren were all born there. It has been suggested that Abraham was a convict, transported to Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land), Australia, arriving 12/8/1833 on the "Emperor Alexander", aged 19 (ie: born 1812/1813), sentenced to 14 years transportation, departing 12/4/1833 from Down, Ireland.[83,122] This Abraham was born Killough, Co Down, Ireland and, in 1855, had a brother, Isaac, living in Melbourne, Victoria.[The Argus 13/9/1855] In 1839, whilst still serving his sentence Abraham, per Emperor Alexander, absconded from the Spring Hill Road Party, 23/10/1839, and the chief police magistrate posted a £2 reward for his apprehension.[Hobart Town Courier 8/11/1839] This was probably the Abraham Powell, born c.1812/1813, who died 1896, Hotham West, Victoria, Australia (83yo),[1,29] and has frequently been confused with Abraham Powell of South Australia, a confusion that dates back to his entry in the SA Biograpical Index, if not earlier.[83] The SA Bio Index also claims Abraham was born Bristol, England, the son of Abraham Sr & Mary Ann.[83] An Abraham Powell was transported to Tasmania, arriving 28/11/1842 on the Moffatt, departing 14/8/1842 from Portsmouth, England (no age given).[122] Another Abraham Powell died 15/3/1854, George Street, Launceston, Tasmania (45yo).[TasBMD, Launceston Examiner 21/3/1854] This Abraham was a mariner owning three "watermen's boats",[Launceston Examiner 21/3/1854] so was unlikely to have been the convict who arrived 12 years previously. He was probably the Abraham Powell who married Eliza Clements, 26/12/1843, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.[13] There was no convict permission to marry so this Abraham was evidently a freeman. An Abraham Powell was a crewman on the "Sea Belle", travelling from Launceston to Geelong in July 1853,[218] was this the one who died 1854? An Abraham Powell married Mary Cluff, 24/6/1844, Hobart Town, Tasmania, Australia.[Tas BMD] Which Abraham this was is unknown. This would seem to eliminate the Abraham who arrived on the Emperor Alexander as the one who later appeared in South Australia. Whether the Abraham who arrived in 1842 was the Abraham below or not is unknown. I have found no other evidence of an Abraham Powell arriving in Australia.


1. Abraham Powell,[80,81,218,228] born between 1810-1834 (from DOD & of 'full age' when he married). Died 1900, Manoora, South Australia & buried 3/2/1900, St Anthony’s Catholic Cemetery, Manoora, South Australia.[228] {No record of this death in the SA, NSW or Victorian BMD indices, even with spelling varations, however the gravestone exists and the burial recorded in the St Anthony's burial register. Abraham seems to have been adept at avoiding the civil DMB indices. Neither his death, marriage or births of all bar one of his children was registered} Farmer, 1880.[228] Roman Catholic.[1] On 27/8/1860 had a final hearing in the insolvency court, Adelaide (SA Advertiser 25/8/1860, p6).[5] At the time he was living near Burra and had been employed carting wood to Burra and the smelting works at Kooringa.[228] Married Rose Ann Conlan/Conlen/Condon,[1,81,218] 24/12/1855, St Andrew's, Walkerville, South Australia.[83] Rose born 1836, died 21/3/1880, Kooringa, South Australia (44yo).[8,228] Resided 1855, 1857, 1859, Dry Creek, South Australia.[1,82,228] Resided 1861, Port Wakefield, South Australia.[1,228] Resided 1867, Black Point, South Australia.[228] Resided 1880, Hillside, South Australia.[8]

Charles Bendin Powell, born 1810, London. Emigrated to South Australia 1836

Charles Bendin Powell was one of the first European settlers in South Australia. He emigrated to South Australia on the Duke of York, which arrived 27th July, 1836. The Duke of York appears to have been the first ship to bring settlers to South Australia. This actually predates the official first arrival in South Australia, which was the Buffalo on 27th December, 1836. The Buffalo carried the newly appointed colonial governor who, upon arrival, proclaimed the colony, also the Duke of York berthed at Kangaroon Island & her passengers initially settled there, rather than mainland South Australia.


1. Charles Bendin Powell,[88,90,91,92] s/o Baden & Susan,[1] born 1/3/1810, Hackney, London, Co Middlesex, England.[1] Died 12/1/1898, Walkerville, South Australia (87yo).[1,8] Buried North Road Cemetery, South Australia.[1,92]
  "By the death of Mr. Charles Bendin Powell, which occurred at Upper Walkerville on Tuesday, South Australia has been deprived of another of the earliest settlers of the province. Mr Powell, who was in his 88th year, arrived at Kangaroo Island on July 27, 1836, in the Duke of York, which was the first vessel belonging to the South Australian Company's fleet to enter St. Vincent's Gulf. He was a native of Hackney Wick, having been born there on March 1, 1810. On May 14, 1835, he was married at Trinity Church to the late Mrs. Powell, the officiating minister being the Rev. C. B. Howard. Powell went to work as a gardener on the island when he arrived there, having been engaged in that capacity by the South Australian Company. After two years of work, however, the company abandoned work on the island, and Mr. Powell servered his connection with the institution. Subsequently for a short time he engaged in business in Adelaide, after which he removed to Walkerville. A number of years were devoted to dairying, but for many years before his death he had lived in retirement. Up to the last he retained full possession of his faculties, with the exception that he was somewhat hard of hearing. Sixty years ago the advent of a ship into South Australian waters was quite an episode, and Mr. Powell could give interesting accounts of the arrival of all the earlier vessels which came to our shores. The first of these were the barque Duke of York, which left England on April 5, 1836, and arrival at St. Vincent's Gulf ou July 27. Then came Lady Mary Pelham, which left England April 7, 1836, and reached its destination on July 30. These were followed by the John Pine, the Rapid, and the Cygnet.(Advertiser 13/1/1898, p7)"[5]  
Emigrated to South Australia, 1836, on "Duke of York".[1,105] Departed London, England, 5/4/1836 & arrived Port Adelaide, South Australia 27/7/1836.[105] Gardener, dairyman, licensed victualler.[1] In 1844 was listed as a cultivator, with 6 cattle, 2 pigs and 8 goats.[89] In 1836, then residing Kingsgate, sent a letter to the Colonial Secretary Governor's office.[118] In 1846, then a publican of Walkerville, Charles was declared bankrupt (SA Register 21/2/1846, p1).[5]
  "Police Court, Adelaide. Thursday, 29th April. Before H. R. Wigley. Esq.

He had oeen in the Lunatic Asylum aoout five or six years ago, but had since conducted himself tolerably well, until within the last few weeks. On Monday night last he threatened to take her life; and she was in constant fear that he would do so. He had formerly attempted to cut his throat. Prisoner— At whose instigation was it that I was put into the Asylum? Witness— Not mine, but Dr. Woodforde's.

About nine weeks ago, he threatened to dash his wife's brains put with a long broom. On Monday night last he threatened to murder her, and said that afterwards he should be at rest.

James Powell (1796-1866) and several of his children emigrated to South Australia in the late 1840s from Monmouthshire, Wales. James & most of his family moved to Victoria in the early 1850s.

Mr Powell travelled to England by the Nord Deutscher Lloyd liner Seidlitz, and, landing at Genoa, spent two months on the Continent, chiefly on business in Germany, where for a brief space, he had the company of Mr Jack Homburg. Mr Powell expects to remain in Engand for the next four or five weeks, and will then go to America. There he expects to spend a couple of months before leaving for Australia by the Vancouver-Sydney route. He anticipates reaching Adelaide just after Christmas.(Advertiser 28/9/1909, p9)"[5]
"Views & Comments. Land Value Taxation. Royden Powell remarks:-It is pleasing to read the cable message stating that a Minister in the British Cabinet, the Right Hon. Alexander Ore, advocates the lifting of all taxation from the labor and industry of man, and the ultimate laying of all rates and taxes on land values alone. By contrast Councillor Shannon, of Unley, is reported to have said, 'there was nothing more iniquitous or unfair than land values assessment.' Now, any person who give the matter a little thought must see that the present «ystera of rating forces the house occupier not only to pay hiz own share of the rates, but also a large share of the rates that should be paid by the vacant block holder. The revenue raised is spent on roads, footpaths, kerbing, lighting, etc which adds value to the land, not to the building. If there be 10 vacant blocks of land in a street and 10 blocks of equal value with buildings on, as the corporation improve the road, footpath, and other services the 20 properties will increase in value; but it will be the land only, that will increase in value, and the buildings, as a matter of fact, will depreciate as time goes on. Surely no logical mind could conceive of a more grossly unfair method of rating than the present, which taxes the improved blocks more than the unimproved, when the expenditure benefits unimproved blocks equally with the improved land.(Advertiser 29/9/1910, p11)"[5]
"Keep Your Freedom. To the Editor. Sir—When the Australian States agreed to federate, the appropriate sphere for a Federal Government to operate in was decided and embodied in the Constitution. Since its origin Federal Governments have asked for more powers at ten different referenda. Both parties have wanted more power—but nine times the people nave refused, although each time they have been threatened with dire consequence if they did not give the Govern ment more power. Finding they could not get from the people more power for the sake of power, the politicians have decided on a more subtle approach. Two years ago the bait was rehabilitation of the returning men and war workers. We were told:—"Without extra power the Federal Government could not possibly cope with this tremendous task." Yet, without this extra power, the Prime Minister boasts that "returned men have been already satisfactorily settled and that unemployment is the lowest on record." This time the bait Is social services, although most of those specified are already operating, and in no danger "of being challenged. Citizens, this is not a party matter. Government should be controlled by the people, not the people regimented by the Government as in totalitarian countries. You are told if you don't like the way the politicians handle your affairs, you can turn them out in three years. As most of us live in electorates which are "safe" for one party or another, we have very little influence at a Federal election. Refuse to give far-reaching powers to the Canberra politicians and bureaucrats. On all three powers vote No—and retain your liberty. The more power you give to Canberra, the less freedom for you. I am, Sir, &c., Royden Powell. 247 Collins street, Melbourne.(Advertiser 28/9/1946, p14)"[5]

John Powell, born 1788, Co Monmouthshire, Wales. Emigrated to South Australia before 1863

John was from Co Monmouthshire, Wales. He emigrated to South Australia in the early days of the colony. At least two of his sons, John Jr & David, also emigrated to South Australia. John Jr arrived 1851, the arrival dates of the remainder of the family is unknown. Unfortunately neither John Sr, Margaret or David had death notices or obituaries published, so when they emigrated remains unknown. John & Margaret had arrived by 1864 (when John died) & David between 1851-1863 (DOB of last known child in Wales & when he remarried in South Australia). [113] lists immigrants up to 1861 and does not list either John or David, suggesting they emigrated to South Australia c.1862 (assuming they came together).

  "Obituary. Mr. Evan James Powell, 72, who died suddenly at Kersbrook on September 1, was born at Springhill Farm, Kersbrook, and was the second son of the late Mr David Powell. He was educated at Kersbrook and with the exception of a trip to the Continent in 1907, was engaged in agricultural and horticultural pursuits all his life. In 1887 he was married to Miss Bertha Schiementz, second daughter of the late Mr and Mrs H. Schiementz of Lyndoch. Mr Powell, seeing the possibility of fruit-growing becoming lucrative, decided to conduct operations in a big way. With the assistance of his wife, who died three years ago, and their family, he planted 150 acres of orchard, mostly apples and pears, on ground which was heavily timbered and hard to clear. He became a large exporter of apples and pears and was a well known identity in the fruit trade, served as a councillor for Para Wirra for more than 20 years and was one of the directors of the Fruitgrowers' Co-operative Society for several years. He was also a trustee for the Kersbrook Hall and Soldiers Memorial Park and took an active interest in all branches of sport. There was a family of ten, nine of whom survive. They are:— Mr D. Powell, of Williamstawn, Mr E. Powell, of Kersbrook, Mr C. Powell, Prospect, Mrs W. Crook, Adelaide, Mrs A. Hobby, Adelaide, Mrs E. Wilkey, Red Hill, Mrs K. Davids, Kersbrook, Mrs L. Houlahan, Millbrook, and Miss M. Powell, Kersbrook.(Advertiser, 24/9/1937, p18)"[5]
"Powell - Evan James - orchadist, Spring Hill Gardens, Kersbrook, is the second son of the late Mr David Powell of the same place formerly of Wales, England, who came to South Australia in the early days of the State and after being for a time, engaged in shepherding at Kersbrook, purchased 160 acres of land, four acres of which he planted with furit trees and lived quietly on the estate until the time of his death in 1892. The subject of this memoir was born at Kersbrook in 1865 and in his early days engaged in wood carting, which occupation he followed for about six years. He then extended his operation to a general carrier’s trade and was employed in this way between Mannum and Adelaide for three years, at the end of which time he returned to his home at Kersbrook and purchased the land formerly owned by his father, where he planted the fine orchard, which he now owns. By degrees he enlarged the estate to the extent of 560 acres, besides aquiring other properties in the district. Extensive planting has been carried on in various places and to Mr Powell is due the distinction of having built up the largest fruit growing business in the Commonwealth. The largest area under cultivation is at Kersbrook, consisting of 107 acres, whilst another fine orchard flourishes at South Para, the extent of the latter being 46 acres. The chief product of the gardens, is in apples for export purposes, these being forwarded direct to the old country. In 1902, Mr Powell made a tour through England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and India and during this trip completed highly satisfactory arrangements for the exporting of his fruit. He is a member of the Fruitgrowers Association and takes a keen interest in the deliberation of this body. For eight years he has served as a member of the District Council of Para Wirra and has been Captain of the Millbrook Defence Rifle for four years. In 1887 he married Emily Bertha, second daughter of the late Mr. Frederick Schiemmentz of Lyndoch formerly of Germany and has a family of three sons and seven daughters.(Cyclopaedia of SA, 1909)"[90]
"A Large Orchard. Kersbrook, December 20,-The apple orchard of Mr. Evan James Powell is one of the largest of its kind in the State. Situated near the main road in a picturesque gully, it forms one of the most pleasant features in one of the prettiest drives among our hills. This fine property has been gradually brought to its present prosperous condition by the intelligence and indomitable pluck of its owner, who began life in the humble capacity of a shepherd. Undaunted by hardship and discouragement, he won his way to a position of affluence. Everything is in perfect order, the cultivation betrays evidence of forethought and care, and the trees are entirely free from both codlin moth and black spot. Altogether there is an extent of 153 acres, comprising 17,000 apple trees, about 1,000 pear trees and about 2 acres devoted to cherries and plums. The flats are kept thoroughly pulverised, but Mr Powell finds that it is better not to powder the soil on the hills too finely, as the heavy rains of this distrit are apt to wash the loose sod to the gullies. He finds that stable yard manure gives good results, and also speaks highly of the benefits following the ploughing in of green crops, especially peas. He was a large exporter last year when he shipped 14,000 cases of apples which gave an excellent return. The construction of a railway along the Torrens valley would give a great fillip to the fruit and other industries of this neighborhood.(Advertiser, 22/12/1909, p6).[5]

Thomas & David Powell, born Co Breconshire, Wales. Emigrated to South Australia 1865

Thomas and David shared a common place of birth and their families shared common travel patterns, suggesting they may have been related, however Powell is a common surname in Co Breconshire. The IGI has baptisms for 7 David Powells in Co Breconshire between 1832-1836, any one of whom could have been the David who emigrated to Australia. There were 17 within 5 years of 1834. There were 28 Thomas' baptised within 5 years of 1823. If Thomas & David were brothers, then the only match in the IGI is Thomas, s/o Thomas & Elizabeth, baptised 8/8/1824, Crickadarn, Breconshire, & David, baptised 17/3/1833, Llanelly, Breconshire.[13] Of course, the only evidence that Thomas & David were related is that they are the only Powell's from Breconshire I know of who emigrated to South Australia and that they both emigrated in 1865. Unfortunately David's death notice does not give any details of his parents or where he was born & Thomas does not appear to have a death notice (a search for deaths in 11/1890 did not reveal a death notice for Thomas).

1. David Powell, born 1834,[1,85] Co Breconshire, Wales.[1] Died 1/12/1893, Norwood, Adelaide, South Australia (59yo).[8]
  "Fatal Accident in Gouger Street. David Powell, aged between 60 and 70 years, in the employ of Mr. Robert W. Wigg, manager of the London Vinegar Works in Peel-street, met with an accident in Gouger-street at about half-past 6 on Friday evening; which resulted in his death very shortly afterwards. It appears that he was driving a horse and dray along the street, the dray being loaded with cases, on the top of which Powell and George Stacey, a lad, were seated. When opposite the Angel Inn, Gouger-street, some of the harness gave way, causing the shafts of the dray to fall about the horse's feet. The animal started to canter and then commenced to kick. Powell and Stacey were thrown off, and one wheel passed over Powell's head, but Stacey escaped with a severe shaking. Josiah Sturgess conveyed Powell to the hospital, but on his arrival there it was found that life was extinct. His body was then conveyed to the city morgue. The city coroner was informed, and decided to hold an inquest at the Elephant and Castle Hotel this morning at 11 o'clock.(Advertiser 2/12/1893, p5)"[5]
"Fatal Dray Accident. Coroner's Inquest. The city coroner (Dr. Whittell) held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle Hotel on Saturday morning touching the death of a man named David Powell who was killed on the previous afternoon by a fall from his dray in Gouger-street. William Powell identied the body as that of his father. He was 59 years of age, and resided at Norwood Park. George Stacey. a youth, residing in Gonger street, deposed that he was in the'employ of Mr. Wigg, manager of the London Vinegar Works in Peel street. On Friday afternoon was engaged assisting deceased in drawing wood and some empty cases from Edwardstown to the vinegar works. When near the Angel Inn deceased, who had been driving, requested him to take the reins for a time, and he did so. They had not proceeded 100 yards further when the shafts of the dray fell down suddenly, and the deceased was thrown violently to the ground upon the right side of the dray, the wheel passing over him. Witness was also thrown out, and upon recovering himself found Powell unable to speak. Deceased was not a regular employee at the works. At the time of the accident there was not more than 15 cwt, on the dray. In his opinion the load was too heavy on the back band. Josiah Sturgess, plasterer, residing at South-terrace, deposed that on Friday after noon he was engaged conveying voters to the poll on behalf of one of the candidates for municipal honors. About half-past 6 o'clock when in Gouger-street noticed the accident detailed by the previous witness. The wheel passed over the body of deceased. He conveyed the injured man immediately to the Adelaide Hospital, but before the doctor was in attendance at the institution the man died. Then removed the body to the police-station. Robert W. Wigg, manager of the London Vinegar Works, stated that deceased was employed there as a glut hand. The harness which Powell was using at the time of the accident was under offer for sale to his firm. Deceased and he had inspected the harness a few days previously, and both then considered it safe and in good working condition. It was an old set of harness. Since the occurrence had again examined the harness and found there was a break in the backhand. The leather was faulty, but not rotten, and the backhand had apparently been manufactured from a weak portion of a hide. Deceased was in the habit of loading too heavily on the fore part of the dray, and witness had frequently warned him against this practice, and pointed out the danger thereby incurred. Constable Northridge deposed to taking possession of the body at the police-station, and conveyed it to the morgue. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.(Advertiser 4/12/1893, p6)"[5]

Thomas Powell, born 1821. Emigrated to South Australia c.1864

Thomas emigrated to South Australia with his family (wife & son) in the 1850s or 1860. Whilst Thomas had no known grandchildren, Thomas & his son, Charles, seemed to have lived colourful lives, with tales of their misdeeds appearing in the Adelaide papers several times. A Charles Powell died North Adelaide, 1893. Could this have been Charles, s/o Thomas? The stated age at death of 26yo would have been too young, but an age of 36yo would have given a DOB right within the range estimate for Charles. There was another Thomas who emigrated to South Australia, however that Thomas had a different wife, different occupation (butcher rather than labourer) & a different DOD. I am including this Powell family for historical interest rather than genealogical since the family group includes just 4 individuals, including a wife & an adopted daughter.


1. Thomas Powell,[27] born 1822.[8] Died 3/11/1890, Hospital, Adelaide, South Australia (68yo).[1,8,25] Buried 3/11/1890, West Terrace Cemetery, Adelaide, South Australia (68yo).[25,86,202] Buried 1922, West Terrace Cemetery, Adelaide, South Australia.[202] Married Julia Mary[5] Moule.[202] Julia born 1823, died 22/11/1878, Adelaide, South Australia (55yo).[5,8] Julia, of Wakefield Street, Adelaide, buried with her husband, 24/11/1878, West Terrace Cemetery, Adelaide, South Australia.[25,202]
  "An inquest was held by Mr. T. Ward, JP, City Coroner, on Saturday morning, November 22, at the Arab Steed Hotel, into the circumstances attending the death of Julia Mary Powell, aged 55, the wife of Thomas Powell, auctioneer, who died suddenly at her residence on Friday morning, November 23. Mr Wm. Oliver acted as Foreman of the Jury. Thomas Powell said that the deceased was his wife. She had been suffering for years past from attacks of colic, and was attended by Dr. Corbin about 11 months ago. Since that time there had been no necessity for medical aid. On Thursday evening she again took ill. Witness applied the usual remedies, and in the morning she appeared to be much more easy. He left home to attend business about 10:30am. About 12:30 Dr Corbin informed him that his wife was dead. Dr Corbin said he first attended deceased on February 24th last. She has had colic, after that she had dysentery, for which be was in attendance on her until March 10. He had not seen her since until Friday. He was called about midday, went at once and found her to be dead. Had made a post-mortem examination, and considered that death was caused through the heart being over distended with blood on the right ride. Owing to fatty degeneration the heart was unable to propel the blood. The Jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence.(SA Advertiser 25/11/1878, p5)"[5]  
  "Police Court - Adelaide, Nov 3. Thos., Mary, and Charles Powell, father, mother, and son, were charged on the information of Ann Etheridge, wife of Anthony Etheridge, storekeeper, with assaulting her on October 25. Mr. Boucaut for defendants. The informant stated that she was waiting on South-terrace for an omnibus, and went to prevent some children from assaulting a friend's child, when defendants came out of their place and abused her. Charles Powell threw a stone, and knocked her daughter, and the other defendants seized her (informant), struck her, and knocked her down. Patrick Wayland appeared on the scene, and was also assaulted. Thomas Powell was then charged with assaulting Margaret Wayland, the wife P. Wayland. Mr Armstrong, from Messer. Stow & Ayers's office, appeared for complainant, who exhibited a couple of front teeth and a bunch of hair from her head, which she alleged she lost in the assault. Ann Etheridge and Margaret Wayland were then charged with assaulting Thomas Powell. The Powells' version of the affair was that Wayland had gone to their house for sixpence, borrowed by Charley Powell, and that it was given to him. He refused, however, to go away, and a disturbance ensued, in which Mrs. Wayland and Mrs. Etheridge joined and assaulted the Powells. A free fight resulted, in which Powell, sen., was knocked down and sat upon by Mrs. Etheridge. Each of the defendants in the respective cases were fined 1s.(SA Advertiser 4/11/1873, p3)"[5]  

Children of Thomas & Julia Mary Powell:

Charles Powell,[5] probably born between 1851-1860 (was a 'youth' in 1871).[5]
  In 1871 Charles, then a 'youth', was apprehended causing trouble outside a brothel with a group of other youths & their 'gang leader', slightly different versions of the account were reported in the two newspapers:
"Police Court, Adelaide. Monday March 13. [Before Mr S. Beddome, P.M.] William Jackson was charged with insulting behavior in Light-square, and also with assaulting Constable Mortimer. Corporal O'Leary and Constable Mortimer stated that defendant was with a number of youths creating a disturbance near a brothel in Light-square. Mortimer dispersed them.
