Or perhaps this is relevant. Andrews Farm A 1991 subdivision in the Munno Para Council area bounded by Stebonheath Road (named after the ship which brought the Andrews family to SA in 1849) and Andrews Road (named after Mr Gordon Andrews, a former councillor). An obituary of W. Andrews, an early settler, is in the *Observer,* 26 May 1928, page 49c: Mr. W. Andrews died at his residence at Smithfield in May 1928. He had lived in the district for 70 years and was one of its most respected residents. In 1849, aged five, he arrived in South Australia with his parents who travelled by bullock dray to Burra where the family lived in a dugout on the side of a creek. Later, he went to Smithfield which in those days was covered with dense scrub; there were no houses and instead of fences the boundaries were marked with a few pegs. He attended a little Bible Christian Church on the Gawler Blocks called Salem and later, he took up church work at Smithfield, where he was superintendent of the Sunday school for 44 years. On 24 November 1875 he was married to Miss Hillier and at the time of his death nine children of the marriage survived.
