Samuel and
Harriet emigrated to Australia in 1858 with children John, James, Henry and
Elizabeth. They were assisted
immigrants on the ship Empress Eugenie which sailed from Liverpool on 17
Jan 1858 and arrived in Melbourne on 3 April 1858. Samuel is listed as a shoemaker, Church
of England, able to read and write, as can all of the family apart from
Elizabeth who was only 7 yrs old.
Henry was 11 yrs old and was able to travel in the same quarters as
his parents. James, 17 and John,
20, were required to travel in the adult men’s quarters and are listed as
bootmakers. Samuel set up trade as a boot and shoe maker in Errol St ,
living above the shop with his family (note listed in Ballieres Directory
as surname Barrowman, at 43 Errol St, the two shops being rented and he
living in the 5 roomed two storey house above and behind them)
Samuel rented a
shop in Errol St in1859, now a takeaway.
The pharmacy next door was used by his son John for about a year and
his son Samuel set up for a while in what is now the bookshop.
