Preview:My ancestors came to New South Wales as assisted migrants from around 1840 to the mid-1870s. Two families from Sussex were joined when my great-grandparents, Laura Sophia MARTIN and William Richard COLLIS married in 1886 at Christ Church St Laurence, Sydney.
Charles TUPPER (1804-1868) and his wife Eliza HARWOOD (1820-1889) accompanied their daughter Catherine Tupper (Harwood) COLLIS (1839-1914), son-in-law Edmund Richard COLLIS (1833-1885), their grand-children Catherine Ann COLLIS (1860-1863) and William Richard COLLIS (1861-1922), and their son Harwood William TUPPER (1842-1913), on the voyage of Blackwall liner "Orwell", which sailed from Plymouth on 16th Nov 1862 under Captain Quin. They disembarked in Sydney, New South Wales after a voyage of 100 days, on 26th Feb 1863. During the voyage, on 12th December 1862, a second son for Edmund and Catherine, Henry Orwell COLLIS was born, "near the Equinoctal Line".
