Good afternoon list, My abovenamed ancestor with his wife arrived on the Westmoreland at Hobart in 1821 and on page 2 of the HOBART TOWN GAZETTE on Saturday, 5 May, 1821 under the heading 'HOBART TOWN - Ship News' the following was published: "This morning arrived from England the ship WESTMORELAND, Capt. Potton, with a cargo of British merchandize, and 41 passengers; viz.- Mrs Burn, Mr and Mrs Steel and family, Mr and Mrs Bifdee, Mr and Mrs Roberts, Mr W Alexander, Mrs T Buxton and family, Mr and Mrs Marlden, Mr and Mrs Weft and family [15], Mr Benj. Blackburn, Mr G Dixon, Mr N Dixon, Mr P Taylor, Mr and Mrs Willifon, Mr W Patterion, Mr Geo. Harper, Mr and Mrs Harper and family, and Mr R Dennalt, The WESTMORELAND left Portsmouth on the 14th Dec. and on her passage touched at the Cape of Good Hope, where she left 15 passengers, having brought out 56 from England." The ship remained only a few days and then sailed for Sydney arriving 31 May 1821. Charles James Roberts we believe joined the Commissariat shortly after and by mid 1820's was the Storekeeper at Dunwich in Moreton Bay. His wife Esther was the schoolteacher. They returned to Sydney in the early 1930's but in researching his movements whilst at Moreton Bay I was recently informed he was thought to be with the Commissariat in Tasmania shortly after his return to Sydney but was definitely back in Sydney mid 1830's as he was no longer with the Commissariat but was a Publican holding the license in respect of the Starr Inn in Parramatta. He was stricken with severe ill health about 1837, never to recover and died late in 1841. Esther continued with the Inn and held the license until the late 1840's and she died in December 1851. Two of their sons continued in the hospitality industry and for over 100 years owned the Crown and Anchor in the CBD of Sydney. I would appreciate advice on where I could obtain confirmation of their possible Commissariat stay in Tasmania. Rex Roberts, Waikanae, NZ.
