About George Malpas

George Malpas

OBITUARY NOTES. The Late Mr. George Malpas.—Another pioneer, Mr. George Malpas, of Noarlunga, son of the late Mr. Jonn Malpas, of St. Bernards, Magill, and brother of Air. Henry Malpas, J.P., of Willuuga, and Air. William Malpas, of Athelstone, died on July 19 after a short illness, caused by an affection of the heart, at the age of seventy three years.

He arrived in the colony on April 15, 1838, in the barque Lord Goderich, 500 tons, after a most tedious passage of six months.

During the voyage considerable difficulty was caused by differences between the captain and the passengers, and in order to settle them the captain put into Bahia, and proceeded to Rio de Janeiro under the charge of Lieutenant Edwards, of H.M.S. Samarang. At Rio the British Consul put the ship and passengers under the superintendence of Mr. Stephen Whettem, R.N., master assistant of H.M.S. Lyra. Amongst the fellow passengers of the deceased were:

  • Messrs. Frederick Wicksteed
  • Edward Castres Gwynne (late Judge)
  • Charles Eenn, W. Sandford
  • S. Fairlie
  • B. Shaw
  • R. J. Bradshaw, and others.

The deceased leaves a widow, three sons, five daughters, and several grandchildren.

The funeral, which took place on Wednesday last at Noarlunga in the churchyard of S.S. Phillip and James, was attended by the relatives of the deceased, and the Church was filled with persons from all parts of the district, who desired to pay the last tribute of respect to the remains of one who had resided in Noarlunga for forty two years.

OR more likely, sometimes sons would come out earlier to make arrangements for family to come, so several trips can be taken.
