August 12th 1826, d. 1911. He married Ellen Thomson. Their five children were Emma 1845-60, William 1847-1911, James* 1849-1914 from whom my family tree is descended, George b.1852, Ellen b. 1855. As you are aware James and Maria Chittleborough with their five children came as free settlers on the H.M.S. Buffalo and arrived on December 28th 1836. Landing at what is now called Glenelg Beach. Maria died in 1840 in what was then called a "'Lunatic Asylum" . She had apparently had a nervous breakdown. This is very probably why there is not anymore information about Maria. She had died. To quote my Auntie (historian): "I'm pretty sure she would have come from the same village or locality as her husband. In the 1830s there was not much transport! If you were well off you had a carriage and horse or a cart otherwise you went on foot! Up until the age of the bicycle as one historian has put it rather precisely one was ''obliged" to marry one's cousin!!" We must meet one day to compare notes! Joan,

(their son William ) I have collected a lot of information of the Chittleborough family over the years, but have been unable to find anything on Maria herself ( nee Coates. )Do you have any details of her family or where she came from in England. I have heard that her family did not approve of her marriage to James. I am a direct descendant of James and Maria Chittleborough from the Buffalo.

For the readers interest, I am a direct descendent of Maria Gandy who arrived in South Australia as the companion of Colonel William Light Surveyor General on the ship Rapid and recently attended an old scholars dinner here in Hobart where I live to meet another old scholar living in Tasmania who is a direct descendent of Dr. Woodforde the doctor on the ship Rapid. He has the diary of Dr. Woodforde which was recovered unfortunately with some pages missing.

I happened to be in Leigh St yesterday but it was the wrong day for your office to be open. When there I always go to the Hindley St. end and look at the Princes Berkeley Hotel, which is on the site where James Chittleborough (GGG grandfather) erected the 1st pub in the colony - the Buffaloe Head. This then became the Black Bull and then the Princes Berkeley. As I look at it I wonder how tough it must have been for those pioneers. And to think that sometimes we think we have it tough...I don't think so! Pamela, I’d like to join the Pioneer Association of SA – what do I need to bring to prove I qualify?

William Thomas Chittleborough is my great uncle, an elder brother of my grandfather James. Would be pleased to hear from you, look us up in the Eyre Peninsula phone book or the white pages web site, we are the only Chittleborough listed in Port Lincoln/Eyre Peninsula. The HMS Buffalo as i currently understand, made its first anchorage in the new colony at Spalding Cove (Port Lincoln NP) Christmas Eve 1836. Look forward to hearing from you Peter Nelson.

My Nanna is a direct descendant of the Chittleborough family who came across in the HMS BUFFALO with Gov Hindmarsh in 1836. I am in awe of the sheer bravery and pluck of those pioneer settlers. The aboriginal threat around Port Lincoln alone must have made many wish with all their heart they had not left the UK. I am in the process of delving into my family history - it is addictive and all consuming...but a great adventure nonetheless! Hi Kyran,

My father's mother was Pearl Pleasant Chittleborough who married Reginald Nelson. She was, I believe, the first white child born in Mt. Pleasant. I have found her and myself in two family history books (Veitch and Fulwood). Pearl's mother, Euphemia Gates, married a William Thomas Chittleborough in the Fulwood house in Condowie and lived in Bakara at some stage. So we are related ourselves. I would be interested in meeting you and talking about our family connection. This site is great and I am learning so much and will follow it with interest. Did you now that the current Princes Berkeley hotel in Hindley St was built by James Chittleborough (Father of BUFFALO Chittleborough family) as the Buffaloe Head hotel - one of the 1st in Adelaide?

Little Elizabeth was the first of the settlers to set foot on Kangaroo Island, carried to shore by a sailor, at aged 2. Tragically she later died in a fire accident aged 12, and her mother died in 1837 on KI.
