Some History:
White Settlement of Australia was almost 50 years old, when the History of the Elphicks, of Gundagai and Nangus, began, with the arrival of the Ship, "MANGLES", in Sydney on the 10th. July, !837.

Amongst the 308 Male Convicts she carried, was, JAMES ELPHICK, aged 27, 5'6" in height, of Ruddy and Freckled Complexion, with Brown Hair and Eyes, Sandy Whiskers, a small Scar on the Right Side of his Upper Lip, and, Tattoos on both Arms.

Born in Brighton, Sussex, England, on 16/12/1810, he was the Son of Edward ELPHICK and Jane Gorange. His Wife, Elizabeth, nee Cosham, and Son, Stephen, born 1833, remained in England.

James had been Tried at Sussex Assizes on the 23rd. July, 1836, on Charges of Highway Robbery. The Crown alleged that, on the 13th. June, James ELPHICK and George POWELL, both Labourers, of the Parish of South Malling, Sussex, had hed held up and robbed, one John GALLOP, of: 1 Hat, valued at Three Shillings, 1 Knife, valued at Sixpence, 1 Bag, valued at 1 Penny, 3 Sixpence Coins, and Threepence, in Coppers - a Grand Total of 5Shillings and Four Pence.!!
Both Pleaded Guilty and were Sentenced to Death. - But, the Sentence was Commuted to Transportation for Life. ( James had a previous Conviction of 12 Months. ).

The "MANGLES" sailed from Portsmouth, 23rd. March,1837. Conditions in the Convict's Quarters were very Unsanitary, with the result that many of the Convicts' became Ill from Dysentary. Scurvy was also Rife. The Ship's Surgeon blamed this on Half Rations of Oatmeal for 6-7 Weeks, and, the fact that None of the Soldiers, and, only 80 of the Convicts, would Drink their Cocoa. Since James' Name doesn't appear on any of the Sick Lists for the Voyage.

On Arrival in Australia, James was Assigned to James MacArthur, of Camden. James MacArthur, with His Brother, William, established Nangus Station, and Built the Lower Floor of the Homestead in 1830-31. (Perhaps it was this Contact which eventually brought the ELPHICK's to the Gundagai District.

Nothing is known of James' time with the MacArthurs. Records show that they treated their Convicts reasonably well by the Standards of the day.

After 8 1/2 Years in the Colony, James was Granted a Ticket-of-Leave to remain in the Camden Area, ( 2nd. January, 1846.).

on 2nd. March, 1846, aged 35, and a Widower, James was Granted Permission by the Governor, to Marry Jane FULLER, aged 17. The Marriage took place at St. Thomas' Church of England, Camden.

Jane FULLER arrived in Sydney with Her Family aboard the "Royal George", on 10th. March, 1839, Sponsored by James MacArthur. William FULLER, a Shepherd, his Wife, Mary, nee FIELDER, and, Chiuldren, George 14, Eliza 12, Jane 10, William 7, Mary 6, John 3, and, Benjamin 9 Weeks, came from Beckley, Sussex. They lived at Camden, where Mary FULLER Died in 1848, and, William FULLER, in 1853. Almost all of Jane's Brothers and Sisters eventually moved to the Gundagai area.

In the next few Years, James ELPHICK worked as a Miller around Camden. On 10th. July, 1850, he received a Conditional Pardon, freeing him to move as he pleased, (except to return to England). However, for the time being, the Family remained in the Camden Area, Living at Brownlow Hill, where James worked as a Farmer and Labourer.

Following his Mother's Death in England, Stephen, James' Son, joined his Father in New South Wales. He arrived in Sydney on the "William and Mary", from Plymouth on 4th. January, 1852.
