a number of families including BEAN, DENNIS, and AYTON were recruited from central and NW Norfolk and adjacent Suffolk (mainly Eriswell) by the Launceston Immigration Aid Society and emigrated to the Launceston region of Tasmania in 1855-1862.

They were part of an immigration scheme to bring honorable settlers to Tasmania as part of an anti-transportation movement.

Henry emigrated to Australia with his parents and siblings on the "Trade Wind" in 1858 aged 23yrs. He was a groom, footman and farm laborer. On that ship was a Hannah BEAN (c1816-1876) who had married a William CLAXTON and their children christened in Covehothe, SFK. See Norfolk and Suffolk emigrants to Tasmania.

On 20th Sept, 1861, he married Maria DENNIS (1842-1917) at Lymington, Morven in Tasmania. They had 9 children and resided in Longford, Tasmania.

Maria DENNIS (1842-1917) was born at Eriswell, Suffolk, England on 22nd January, 1842 to James DENNIS (1813-1888) and Frances SPINKS (1812-1868) who had married on 18th Nov. 1832 in Eriswell, Suffolk. James DENNIS was born at Eriswell, Suffolk and was buried at Longford, Tasmania. Frances SPINKS was born at Hillborough, Norfolk, England and is buried at Longford, Tasmania. Maria emigrated with her parents and 4 brothers on the "Trade Wind" to Hobart on 22 Feb 1858. After Frances' death in 1868, James married Elizabeth Saville Holloway on 01 Sept 1869 at Longford Tasmania.

They settled at Longford and as the children grew up, several of them worked for John Whitehead on his estate, “Winburn”. A daughter Sabrina cared for John’s mother from the age of 15. Their son, John Bean worked there also, but the most reported in Whitehead’s Letters (a published book) was John’s brother, Walter Bean “…not only a good coachman but the handiest man I ever saw”. Whitehead left him, (and possibly the others in smaller portions,) a 1000-pound bequest in his will, “to help him purchase his own farm”. Whitehead had at one stage intended to leave “Winburn” to Bean, but about a year before his death his will was altered.

above photo courtesy of Amanda Whitby which is thought to be Robert BEAN and wife Martha HUFF, which if it is them, would probably be dated c1880 given Martha died in 1886 aged 73 yrs. Certainly very similar features to Henry BEAN.

If anyone can verify this or provide scans of other old photos, please email me.

Robert Bellenger sent the above photo and he believes this is Robert Henry BEAN (1869-1950) taken in 1949.

Albert BEAN, his wife Alice and children c1928 Longford, Tasmania.

This is probably Lillias Maria BEAN

hmm... I wonder...is there any relationship to Dr Charles Bean the official Australian historian of WWI?

seems unlikely as Charles Edwin Woodrow BEAN (1879-1968) was born in Bathurst, NSW.

The man with the three children is Robert Henry Bean, and his father is standing at rear right next to the wheel.

listed as being operated by Robert Bean in 1914 (see here), I presume Robert Henry BEAN (1869-1950) or his father.

"Descendants of Josiah Bean commemorated the wreck of the Earl of Charlemont with a family reunion. A plaque was attached to a cairn on the Bluff at Barwon Heads in November 1953."
