I have found a lot of info about John Jennings and Jane steer. Birth.marriage children and immigration  they were married in 1840 - st just pen with in 1840. Arrived in SA 1848 aboard poictiers
John Hill. Born 1820. Arrived in SA aboard Lady Brice 1846.
Married ELIZA Ann Snell in 1848 . They had a daughter ELIZA ANN who married James Steer in 1874 in Moonta.
I am having trouble tracing Eliza Ann Snell. Her parents are John Snell and Ann (buckingham) . Married 1814 Linkinhome ,Cornwall.
From what I've found.  It looks like John Snell arrived in Tasmania in 1842 aboard Sir Charles Napier. Then arrived in SA aboard Timbo in 1845. But Eliza Ann Snell is never mentioned . In 1842 she would have been 22/23.

I don't think this is going to add much info, but whilst searching for info on Eliza Ann Snell, I came across this article which mentions a Snell, Jennings and Botharris (elections for councillors) http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article110368030
