Faulkners arriving from Northampton in 1844

A Faulkner family arrived as bounty immigrants on the Dale Park in Port Philip, Victoria on 21 July 1844.

Abraham, an agricultural labourer, and Anne Faulkner were both 32. Their four children were George 10, William 8, Hanna 6 and Jane 3. Their native place was Northampton, their religion Protestant.

Abraham and Anne could read, but not write.

Along with other "Persons on bounty ships arriving at Port Philip", a microfilm copy of the Dale Park's passenger list has been digitised. It can be viewed here:
