Note on Husband: George GOOD - shared note

George Good and his wife Maria emigrated on the "Sea Queen", which sailed from London, Plymouth and finally on 11 January, 1844 from Cork, Ireland on a voyage of 102 days arriving on 15th April 1844 at Port Phillip. While at sea on 18 February 1844 a daughter Elizabeth was born. George, Maria and baby Elizabeth stayed for a brief period in a tent in Bourke Street, Melbourne. George apparently worked with the then New South Wales Police Force, and was stationed at Wellington, Donnybrook or Kalkallo (depending which certificate you look at). Three children were born in this area of Port Phillip, Maria, George and Catherine.

George Good was drowned in a lagoon beside the Yarra Yarra River on 29th November 1853 aged 31 years. At the inquest, it was found that after lunch his friend thought he was "larking about" as he always did when he was waving his arms about, then disappeared. His friend being unable to swim ran for help, but it was too late. Maria was left with seven children, the twins were only 15 months old, and Maria was pregnant again.

Note on Wife: Maria FAITHFUL - shared note

Maria Good died 16 March 1890, aged 74 years at Richmond, and is buried at Kew, Boroondara Cemetery, with her twin sons.
