Summary

Charlotte E. Watson (nee Float) was the wife of Henry Watson who brought his family to South Australia in March 1839. His party consisted of his father William and mother Martha, wife Charlotte and two children - Charlotte Emily (2 years) and Louisa (6 months). He kept a journal of the terrible journey. They brought with them a prefabricated house from Henry Manning's London company. They later built a brick facade and added a brick paved verandah. The house was situated on Pennington Terrace, North Adelaide and called Walkley Cottage. Henry Watson was a chemist and druggist at North Adelaide and also a Quaker. He came out to South Australia to join his brother in law John Barton Hack as a merchant and partner in the firm Hack, Watson and Company.
