Text Box: This is the Ancestral line back from John Malcolm Bates to the First Fleet and Veronica Maude Bates nee Dibble back to England and Ireland. The ancestors all sailed to become entwined in Australia from the earliest settlers. They were “The pioneers”.  

Olivia Jade SOLOMON is a descendant from The First Fleet 1788. Olivia is the 8th Great Grand-daughter of Owen Cavanough from the Flag Ship “Sirius” who married Margaret Darnell from the prison ship “Prince of Wales”. Both of them First Fleeters. Owen and Margaret Cavanough were among the first settlers in Australia. Olivia Solomon is their 8th great grand-daughter.

The First Fleet of 11 ships, each one no larger than a Manly ferry, left Portsmouth in 1787 with more than 1480 men, women and children onboard. Although most were British, there were also African, American and French convicts. After a voyage of three months the First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay on 24 January 1788. 

This is from the BATES family line.
Olivia Jade SOLOMON is the 19th Great Grand-daughter of John (or Richard) de CAWARDEN bc1375-1447 who married Elizabeth MALVOISINE. The surname later became CARDEN.  
This is from the CARDEN BOOK [Grandma! Where did I come from? Book 2] family line through Veronica Maude BATES nee DIBBLE. And via  Maria ‘Carden’ ABBOT from The Carden’s of Barnane and Tipperary, she arrived in the Port Phillip District of the Colony of New South Wales on board the sailing ship Branken Moor, on the 3rd December 1841.  Maria was a Pioneer of The Port Phillip Colony.

The Port Phillip District was an historical administrative division of the Colony of New South Wales, which existed from September 1836 until 1 July 1851, when it was separated from New South Wales and became the 
Colony of Victoria.
