Immigration*James Woodward immigrated on 13 February 1830 to Fremantle, Western AustraliaG, on the ship Hooghly..1 
Note*James Woodward, son of George and Sarah Woodward of Worcester, England arrived at Clarence, south of Fremantle Swan River on 12 February 1830 on the 'Hooghly' aged 41 years with wife Sarah, aged 40 years, daughter of John and Mary Shepherd. The 'Hooghly', the second of Thomas Peel's ships, Capt. Peter Reeves and George Bayley, 2nd Officer, nearly foundered and had to be piloted in by a man-o-war. One hundred and seventy passengers and cargo including some cattle, on a 465 ton sailing ship, endured many deprivations, then on arrival to be dumped on the beach to live in tents and huts for months shows great endurance. James Woodward died on 28/03/1830 at Clarence just weeks after his arrival, leaving Sarah and her younger children to be provided for by her young sons. In letters to the Colonial Secretary Peter Brown in 1831 and 1832 she requested help from the Governor as she had a chance to go home by the "Edward Lombe'. She said it took all her eldest son's Boatman wages for her children's provisions and this was only flour, and she was in very poor health. She also asked him to send the value of the Ironwork, two arrows, as she left it on purpose to pay towards her passage to England. Apparently she did not go as she was here for the 1837 Census and died at Fremantle in 1862. Her son James, carter and publican Northam married Mary Ann Elizabeth Gould, in 1859, but a month later he was drowned near Blackadder Creek out of Guildford. Son Henry also drowned, in 1842. Daughter Sarah, in the 1837 Census occupation was a servant, died at her home Cliff St., Fremantle on 5 July 1866 - she was unmarried. Daughter Mary married William Chidlow. Anne married John Wellard in 1850 at St John's Church Fremantle. He is mentioned in various books and records and was a North West pioneer with Padbury. Ellen the youngest, married in 1848 to George Wood who died in the American Civil War in 1862. Ellen married for a second time to Edward Newman. Her mother Sarah Woodward died 1862 at Fremantle.2
