LADY JOCELYN

My Mother told about the hardships her parents suffered when the migrated from England in the the shjp Lady Joyclyn arriving in Adelaide on 24 December 1876. Her mother Jane Welch was a seamstress and lived in Exeter and my Grandfather James Schollfield was a grenadier from Birkenhead, They met aboard the Lady Joyclyn. Jane Welch established a dressmaking shop at Kensington at the corner of Bridge Road and High Street. They moved to Islington then later to Perth, W.A. They had seven children, five girls and two boys. It is a pity that the name Scholfield which meant from a school-field district which has been shortened to Scofield did not survive because one boy never married and the other boy had daughters. There is a model of the Lady Joyclyn in the Adelaid Museum
