Seeking the parents of John Warhurst b. abt 1810- Stockport?
John Warhurst & Mary Kinsey
After securing free passage to Australia, John WARHURST, born c. 1807 left his home in Heaton lane, Stockport, Lancashire, England and arrived in South Australia aboard the ‘Delhi’ in 1839, bringing with him his first wife Mary nee KINSEY and their children, Thomas b.1829 Portwood Cheshire was drowned in England 11 Jul 1837, John b. 1831, William b. 1833, Solomon our great-grandfather b.1835, and Sophia (married to Tom Morris) b.1837 & Henry born on board ship 22 Aug 1839 (mother’s name given as M Ann Washuret! ref Births at Sea South Aust State library)
In the 1841 census John and Mary are living in John St Hindmarsh, Daniel Hall and family live nearby. The Hall family history says Dan Hall was married to Ann Warhurst and they came together on the ‘Delhi’. Several Hall family members arrived at that time and their home address was Gt Portwood Rd Stockport. Also arriving at the same time are the Garlick family who have Warhurst connections back in their homeland.
They settled in Pt Adelaide and lived around the Hindmarsh and Bowden & Brompton areas.
The Bowden area, settled in the early 1840’s was not a traditional village like Hindmarsh, indeed the need for worker housing caused it to be a settlement where many carpenters, builders, etc could get cheap rental houses as they serviced the growing community. Many large families settled there with their transport businesses of horse and drays and mail cartage from Port to Town used in the growing development along the River Torrens.
Port Road at this time was nothing more than an unmade sheep and cattle track, winding its way around trees and gullies to Port Adelaide”. (A History of Brompton School Pages 1&2)
John’s occupations have been given as, Carpenter and joiner and publican.
Hindmarsh rates show records of places rented by the Warhurst family.
In 1841 Joseph Warhurst was born in South Australia. Controversy surrounds this birth for the parents listed on the birth certificate are John Warhurst and Sarah Kinsey. Sarah was Mary’s sister and she had arrived here on the Delhi with her father John and brother David KINSEY. This was discovered when Joseph’s descendents began their family research. ( Dorothy Stewart, Robert McNeill, Port Fairy, Vic, Aust would love to hear from any one related to Joseph and his second wife Mary Felstead)
Mary died of cancer in John St Hindmarsh, on 21s March 1843, she is buried in West Terrace cemetery under the name of Mary WERHURST aged 36 years, micro fiche death records show her death was registered by the person burying her, no next of kin is recorded, and there is no location details available! West Tce records have two consecutive block numbers 602/603 but no plan of where they were!
