Eason to Australia
John Eason, son of William Eason & Susanna Trask, was baptised in 1812 in
Merriott. He married Eliza Raindle in 1834, and their children Robert and
Tamar were baptised in 1834 and 1837 respectively. John was
convicted of stealing and transported to Van Dieman's Land (Tasmania), leaving
Woolwich on 15th April 1837 and arriving in Van Dieman's Land on 10th July 1837. His
convict record number is 23072.
John moved to Victoria, and married Margaret Creed in Geelong in 1853.
Their daughter Sussanah was born in 1857 at Buninyong.
Tamar
Eason, daughter of John Eason
and Eliza Raindle, Tamar Eason, also emigrated to Victoria, Australia. In 1851 Tamar was listed as an inmate of the
Chard Union Workhouse aged 16 years, along with step-siblings William (13) and
Sarah (11). Two other children follow in the list: Mary Eason aged 9
and Ellen Eason aged 5. I do not know whether these last two were also
step-siblings of Tamar.

George Eason, son
of George Eason & Louisa Lawrence, was born in Merriott on 14 February
1856. He married Harriett Edmunds in South Petherton in 1878. The
couple had two children in Somerset before emigrating to New South Wales- Samuel
born 1877, and Annie born December 1880. They don't appear on
the 1881 UK census but an immigration entry into New South Wales has not been
found. Presumably they migrated shortly after the birth of
Annie. The family settled in Newcastle, New South Wales, where
George's maternal grandparents, Luke &
Sarah Lawrence, were already living, after they had emigrated in 1858.
William Eason, son
of Joseph Eason & Elizabeth Clapp, bapt 26 Oct 1813 in Merriott, married
Mary Ashford on 29 Oct 1833 at Shepton Mallett, Somerset. The following
emigrated to Victoria:

| Sarah Eason aged 14 |

Information from Tina Hunt in South Australia gives the following dates of
birth/baptism for children of William Eason & Mary Ashford:
| Elizabeth Eason bapt 18 Aug 1834, Shepton, Somerset |
Sarah Ann Eason born 9 Dec 1836, Shepton, Somerset |
Anna Maria Eason born 5 Aug 1839, Shepton, Somerset |

| Elizabeth Eason bapt 29 Sep 1844 |
Frank Eason bapt 20 Sep 1846 |
Emma Eason bapt 19 Oct 1850 |
|
Presumably, the two Elizabeths and Frank did not survive infancy. The
ages for Ann Eason & Sarah Eason given on the immigration records do not
match the birth dates.
