John Tremayne Rodd born in Evesham, Worcestershire, England - my 3 X Great Grandfather. The story goes that his father wanted him to go into the church which is not what he wanted to do so after his wife died John left England with his four children and headed to Australia. The story goes his daughter Lucy Jane, aged 15 got off the ship in South Africa to marry?? I did find a SA Marriage record between her and Henry Pope then I think she returned to England.
Brent Clements Rodd, my 2X Great Grandfather was 12 years old when arrived in Sydney. Brent was 29 when he bought the land which is now known as Rodd Point, he also put a deposit of 17 Pounds to buy the Island but this never happened nor did he get his deposit back. Brent built Barnstable Manor on Rodd Point which was named after where he was born in England. Many of the street names are named after several Rodd family members.
