follows
John & Mary's two eldest children were born at
Charles's property
"Annandale" Perth, then the family moved to Deloraine, and 12 more
children were born there. John died au "Dungall" (gored by a bull, it
is believed) in 1874 at the age of 61. Mary died at "Dungall" in 1889,
aged 62 years, The Cubit family has many decendents in the Deloraine
district, mostly
descended through James. Full

Note from Fred Mitchell:
Passengers to Hobart Ports lists Lady of the Lake as coming from
London, via Swan Reach to Hobart, arriving Nov 1829, leaving on 19 Dec
1829. According to Perth Dead Persons Society www.perthdps.com/shipping
index it went back to Fremantle on 28 Jan 1830. There were no
Chilcotts on board on its return.
On 7 August 1836 Bolina from London under command of Captain Ewing
arrived in Launceston with passengers including Mrs Cubit and John
Cubit. The arrival was reported in the Cornwall Chronicle Vol 2
Sat Aug 13 1836 #33. This is summarised in Unassisted Immigrants
and Coastal passengers

Acknowlegements:
Researchers on the Cubits and Chilcotts have shared their work
generously, and I have not been good at noting sources. However, much
is owed to Val Trickett, Sue Royce, Jenny Mitchell and Fred Mitchell.
Sue
Royce is happy to be contacted by email at
<sroyce@xtra.co.nz>. Also Beris Wilkinson.. Also thanks to Peter
Cubit for his help on early Cubits

The following notes were typed on a page ( I believe
provided by Beris
Wilkinson) about John
Cubitt and Mary Chilcott, after notes about James Cubit:
His son, John b. 1814, in Ireland, obviously followed his father out,
and in 1854, at the age of 31, he married at the Wesleyan Chapel
Longford, Mary Chilcott, the eldest daughter of Charles and Mary
Chilcott, who had come out as settlers in 1830. Mary was 18 at
the time.
