Melbourne in 1841 was a busy port and commercial centre in an agricultural setting. Commodities and rent were expensive. For example: a single edition of the newspaper cost one shilling and the rent for a shop with a parlour and a kitchen in Queen Street was 2 pounds 10 shillings a week. There were advertisements for auctions of livestock, building materials and even food which reflected the demand for such goods. Entertainment included concerts and recitals and agents, accountants, architects and tailors were notifying the public of their professional services.

Passengers Mrs Graham and child, Messrs Morris and Purier ------------------------- Richard and Ellen Stapleton were classified in the above list of passengers as Bounty Immigrants: Bounty immigrants were free immigrants whose passage was paid by the colonial government under the `bounty scheme'. Under this scheme, an incentive or reward (i.e. bounty) was paid to recruiting agents in Britain to find suitable skilled labour and tradespeople, then ship them out to the new colony which urgently needed the working class people to do the manual labour in this new and untouched land. Bounties were paid to the ships' masters for the safe delivery of their passengers under the scheme. The typical bounty was 19 pound ($38) for an adult and 5 pound for a child. Bounty for the amount of 4,956 pound was claimed for the agent, AB Smith & Co. of Sydney, for the safe and healthy arrival of the immigrants on the "England" in July 1841. Under the `bounty scheme' newly married couples, or single men and women were given preference. Large families were rarely accepted. Selected immigrants were generally shepherds, ploughmen and agricultural labourers, with a lesser number of tradespeople such as brickmakers, carpenters, blacksmiths, tailors and needlewomen. ------------------------- Victoria, Australia, Assisted and Unassisted Passenger Lists, 1839-1923 Name: Ellen Stapleton Estimated Birth Year: abt 1814 Age: 27 Arrival Date: 17 Jul 1841 Arrival Port: Port Phillip Bay, Australia Departure Port: Cork Ship: Royal Saxon Nationality: Irish ------------------------- The cemetery records show that the following family members are buried together: Owen and Mary Stapleton Owen and Mary's son Richard and his wife Eleanor Richard and Eleanor's children Ellen and Owen Stapleton Owen and Mary's daughter Margaret Neville -------------------------
