About our family
Our original SHERLOCK Ancestor to arrive in Australia was Samual SHERLOCK who was born as far as we can confirm at Greasby, Wirral, Cheshire, England to Richard (small farmer of Greasby) and Elisabeth SHERLOCK (nee: RICHARDSON of Neston).Samuel arrived in Australia as a member of the crew (seaman) on "Fortune" in 1806, the Fortune was part of the fleet commanded by BLIGH who was sent from England to take control of the Colony.The other half of the original (first) SHERLOCK ancestors in Australia was Sarah KING (debate still goes on about name being Sarah or Maria), anyway Sarah arrived as a guest of the crown in 1800 aboard "SPEEDY".Samuel met Sarah and they married in Sydney in 1808, they had no children (as best as current research reveals) in the colony of New South Wales and moved to "Van Diemans Land" (Tasmania), their only son John Henry SHERLOCK was born in Launceston in 1823 but sadly Sarah passed away shortly thereafter, it was then that Samuel married again to Mary Ann FRENCH and another branch of the family started with the children of the union.The first Australian born SHERLOCK married Ann HART and I am one of the descendants of that direct line, the children of Samuel and Mary Ann SHERLOCK (nee: FRENCH) also bore many descendants and we are spread widely throughout the world as a result plus the many, many form the multitude of descendants of the other brothers and descendants of Richard and Elisabeth SHERLOCK.
