Semple
« on: Friday 14 June 19 13:58 BST (UK) »
I am looking for info on a Thomas Semple who was UK born as far as I know. His daughter Jane Semple was born in South Australia in 1843. I can't uncover any travel or passenger info for Thomas or indeed who his wife was.

Any help appreciated

There is a Thomas Simple / Semple, wife Susanna and children including a Jane age 9 emigrating to Australia 27 October 1853 could they be the family

Obit for Jane's daughter Louisa says her grandfather Thomas was a builder in Kent Town.

Marriage notices for Robert and Martha state their father is of Kent Town:

So that looks like the correct family group so they did indeed arrive from the UK so Jane wasn't born in Autralia

From the Biographical Index of South Australians 1836-1885  A good resource compiled in 1986 however I always attempt to validate the information.  There are errors and omissions.  It would appear the family were Irish.

0ccupation Farm Labourer, Plasterer

I have just looked at trove.nla for Thomas Semple in South Australia and they have several articles on his insolvency hearing in July 1886.
