Eileen Walder whose husband David is a descendant of Jesse via his son John William David has kindly supplied the following pictures and information.

John William David left England for Australia in 1913. John and his family had strong religious beliefs and were members of the Open Brethren which John helped to establish in Australia.

Eileen has the diary that John kept of his voyage, he records his reactions to the new sights and experiences and his disgust at the moral laxity of his fellow travellers. His family followed some months later.
