Note*James and Ruth Read (nee Hopkins) were both 15 years old when they married in St James Shaftsbury, Dorset, England on 28 August 1815, he was said to be a journeyman. James and Ruth came to the Swan River Colony with four children on board the 'Rockingham' arriving on 14 May 1830. Possibly two children James and John (James; bp 3 February 1824; Gillingham, Dorset, England and John; bp 26 February 1826; Gillingham, Dorset, England) died in England. They had another five children born in the Colony. After residing in Mandurah and elsewhere for several years he ultimately made his home at Sulphur Town on Garden Island for about 30 years. In 1859 James was brutally maltreated by escaped convicts who robbed him of 150 pounds and destroyed his boat so he could not communicate with the mainland until the harbour authorities visited the island two weeks later. After their experience the Read family left Garden Island. After leaving the Island he occupied a small cottage on the beach at the corner of Russell Street and Marine Terrace Fremantle where he had a garden. In 1869, the blocks in Marine Terrace between Norfolk and Russell Streets were all vacant because of sand drift and encroaching sea. The Government gave grants for compensation. It was noted that James Read made an application for Allotment 47 in Mouat Street Fremantle. Ruth Read died 15 July 1873, wife of James Read 'House Proprietor'. James went to live in South Australia where he died as a 'Gentleman' in Goolwa, South Australia on 26 February 1878.1
