janilye on 2012-01-29 00:13:54There are a few notices in here Trove about the family in Happy Valley
janilye on 2012-01-29 00:36:49REYNELLA, May 5.? Mrs. Davill, who died on May 3, came to South Australia in the Switzerland in 1856 and resided in the District of Reyndla for forty-four years. For the last twenty-three years she had been a widow, Mr. Job Davi'll having died in 1877. Her death will be felt by a very large number of people. Sympathetic and generous, she was a friend to all classes who sought her when in trouble. She was closely associated with the Methodist Church. One son, Mr. Fred. Davill, still occupies the old home; and two daughters, Mrs. Sparrow and Mrs. Barton, also reside at Reynella. There are also two sons and two daughters at Orroroo and Marchand.
Fred that they mention there married Ethel Crocker in Gawler. I came across it on another occasion.
sasdoc on 2012-02-02 05:28:23Thankyou. I knew about the family in Orroroo & Wilmington (my fathers branch ) but lacked a few details about the family in Reynella.Also some of the dates I had were not correct.
You've been a fantastic help.
Aussie1947 on 2012-02-02 21:20:16Hi,
Not your Job Davill but a Thomas Davill, 22, from Bingham Nottingham was on the 'Nashwauk' when it was wrecked on 13th May 1855 at the mouth of the Onkaparinga River. Thomas received a 2 pound gratuity from the South Australian Government in 1856 I assume because of being shipwrecked.
Thomas was travelling with Mary Davill,(Morris), 20.
Regards
Gerry

Gerry, thanks for info on Job & Maria's birth dates/places. I found a Mary & Thomas Davill who came here 21/5/1856 on the cutter Breeze, in the SA Register
(Adelaide, SA: 1839-1900) 22/5/1856 page 2 titled "Shipping Intelligence, Arrived Coastwise". Interesting. Will have to dig further.
tonkin on 2012-02-04 17:16:07Sorry sasdoc, I'm must be going blind. Sarah appears on my research page but I never included her in the family record. But she's there now.
