Elizabeth2ndN on Family Tree Circles

My Ancestors, Robert & Emma SCOTT lived on Lake Sunday Station. Robert was buried on the property when he died in 1883. He did not own the property, but continued working there when Robert Livett LANDER and partners retired to Adelaide (circa 1872). Pages in the Yorke Peninsula Sketch Book, published in South Australia, mention the property was bought by Samuel LLOYD and later passed onto Clarrie LLOYD. Seeking the date of purchase, to establish whether Emma SCOTT and her children was still at Lake Sunday.

His first wife was Alice Jenkyn CHYNOWETH who died of Leukemia 17/10/1952. He had 2 young children aged 12 and 6 to care for. Stanley married a 2nd time, a short time after 1952. The only information his children know is that her name was Phyl or Phil and they were not happy their father had remarried. She had two daughters of her own.

William James JOHNSTONE, wife Emerald MONTMORENCY, son Walter Edwin JOHNSTINE, born 5 October 1885, Lake Sunday SouTH Australia. His wife believed to have died soon after. William had 2 daughters with Emma Elizabeth SCOTT, widow of Robert SCOTT (diEd 1883 at Lake Sunday). Daughters Annie Valentine JOHNSTONE and Judith Marcella JOHNSTONE born 1889 either in South Australia or Victoria. Unsure if Emma SCITT, William JOHNSTONE married as when Emma married her last husband William BENNETT, her surname was given as SCOTT.

Elizabeth's husband James Coad, passed away in 1896, leaving her with children ranging from approx 12 years old down to 2 years old. Her circumstances were very difficult, at a time of sorrow and ill health. She was living at Houghton/Highercombe in the Adelaide Hills. Her eldest son, from a previous relationship, John Henry Newsome, born 1876, was old enough to be of financial assistance. It is believed that Elizabeth and her children came to the attention of the South Australian Children's Board. This information came from one of James' descendents, Rose Ward. It seems to have vanished from my papers, I would like to read it again and the outcome if possible, as I have not been able to find the source.

Edward and Jane Coade and family immigrated to South Autralia in 1856 on the ship LORD RAGLAN, arriving at Port Adelaide in February 1856 Their children were Jane Coade, Mary Coade and James Coade born 1850. His wife Jane must have died on arrival or soon after. The Register Newspaper reported the ship's arrival and passenger list, which included the whole family under the mis-spelt name of Doade. In September 1856, Edward married again at Glen Osmond Manse in September 1856. The groom's details re father, age, etc validate that this was the right Edward Coade. The bride was Mary Kearns, single, aged approx 17, her father was William Kearns. No date of death has been discovered for his first wife Jane Willoughby.
Some further information was provided by Rose Ward, wife of one of Edward's descendents.

James Coad died in 1896,in Adelaide, South Australia His wife Elizabeth Coad, was left in poor circumstances to raise their children, at Houghton in the Adelaide Hill. She was investigated by the Childrens Board and some of the children were taken from her care. Details provided in a transcript forwarded by Rose Ward. Which unfortunately have been misplaced.
