"The Ascendant" London to Port Adelaide - 1851 The ASCENDANT 562 tons barque, from London September 22nd 1850 via Plymouth October 3rd 1850, with Captain Robert Spencer, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia January 15th 1851

The first ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1851.

http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/1851Ascendant.htm The South Australian REGISTER reported (January 16, 1851): The long looked for ship the ASCENDANT has at length arrived, and we are now enabled to welcome to our shores Mr George Fyfe ANGAS, ESQ., one whose name is honourably identified with South Australia from the commencement of its political existence.

George Fife ANGAS was born on 1 May 1789 at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, (Religion: Baptist)
    He worked as a Merchant, politician and pastrolist, and died aged 90 in 1879 at his residence Lindsay House, Angaston, near Adelaide SA.
He married Rosetta French in London. Their children were Rosetta French (1813-1898), Sarah Lindsay (1816-1898), Emma (1818-1885),
    George French (1822-1886), John Howard (1823-1904), Mary Ann (1826-1831), and William Henry (1832-1879).

His son John (previously arrived in 1843 on board the MADRAS from London) came to the Port to greet his parents and brother William. That evening Mrs Angus travelled to town with her sons. Mr Angas preferred not to leave the vessel until noon the next day. The colonists intend to demonstrate their high esteem at a reception, in recognition of his early and successful efforts in the formation of the colony, the large stake he ventured in it, and his unremitting exertions on behalf of South Australia from the moment it struggled into existence.
