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”.  

Layla Grace PRICE is a direct descendant from The First Fleet 1788. Layla Grace PRICE  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. 

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.
