Personal Notes:
Isaac, born in Liverpool in 1810 grew up much under the influence of his mother’s family, the Young’s, who by this time were again established in Britain. George Young and Admiral William Young had returned from the West Indies. Isaac went to sea with East India Company Ships and it was as an officer on a charter ship to the British Government that he first visited Australia, probably in 1833*. He sailed via Hobart as second officer on the transport ship “Elphinstone” in 1836.

In 1835 he married Mary Bridget Richardson, a daughter of William Richardson of Croydon, England. Mary Bridget was a cousin of John Ruskin, the poet and critic. His father presented Isaac with a silver snuff box on his leaving for Australia. Miss Louise Fox has this in her possession today, along with the log books of the ship “Elphinstone”. A child George was born at Croydon in 1836 but Mary was not well. She was probably suffering from tuberculosis. Isaac thought that the climate in Australia would mend her health. The young couple decided to emigrate. Isaac sailed as a ships officer or captain in 1838*. (Definitely passengers on the Barque “John”, a merchantman.) The New South Wales registry shows that a son Isaac Alexander was born on 26th May 1838 latitude 29 degrees 22 min south 37 degrees 37 min east, fathers occupation – Master Mariner.

Isaac and his young family settled on the land. John Ruskin Fox was born at Binda Vale, Georgianna n 27 August 1840, father’s occupation, settler. He moved to Taradale, Lake George, Argyle where two more children were born – Mary Eliza Fox on 11 November 1841 and William Richardson Fox on 26 October 1843. Isaac’s wife did not improve in health and she died at Parramatta on 10 January 1845 aged 30 years.

Isaac was disappointed with his land. With an ailing wife, young children and the struggle to make a new life in a new land, his lot could not have been easy. Isaac moved to Parramatta in 1844. His wife’s death certificate, as listed under the burials in the Parish of St John’s Parramatta, shows her abode as Parramatta.

Isaac Fox’s death certificate in 1878 shows three boys living, one boy and one girl deceased. George, Isaac Alexander and John of the family are the members who almost certainly survived their father. Mary Eliza married a Mr Wallis of Mittagong and died on 20 January 1876. There is no further mention of the William Richardson Fox.

Isaac married again on 10 January 1850, to Sarah Carter as Sutton Forest. The first child of the second marriage Ann Fox was born at Jerrara, Bungonia on 9 October 1850. Isaac was back on the land but the intervening years are something of a mystery. Where did they live? George was a big boy of probably 14 by 1850 with three younger brothers and a sister. Who cared for the family?
