Arriving in Australia

The Ebbott family arrived in Australia on the Gloucester which left Plymouth on the 30 April 1852 and arrived in Adelaide on the 12 August 1852. It was 13th ship from England to arrive in the South Australia with government passengers that year. It was a horrendous journey. The Gloucester had 25 deaths during this particular journey. This was a particularly high number of deaths, as the average voyage death percentage rate was 1.8 for a journey such as this. It was in the top eight of vessels out of the seventeen vessels that suffered more than 16 deaths at sea, accounting for five per cent of all ships arriving after 1848. The whole family travelled together 1. John Ebbott was listed as an agricultural labourer aged 43 years 2. Sally, (Sarah) was 36 3. Jno, was 11 years old 4. Philip 8 5. Emma 5 6. William 1 (who was not amongst the passengers to disembark the ship at the end of the journey.) The trip took 3 and half months in total.

William their youngest child at the time, he died of gastro enteritis of the 12 August, the day of arrival. He is said to have been buried on the banks of the Torrens River. When the Gloucester finally arrived 284 people disembarked, including 113 children and infants; these were made up of 277 English, 3 Scots, and 4 Irish.
