Jean Serisier

Jean Emile Serisier (1824 – 10 February 1880) was a French-born Australian storekeeper and vigneron who helped found the city of Dubbo, New South Wales.

He was born in Bordeaux to shipping broker Emile Alexander Serisier and Rose Marie Mayou.

He came to New South Wales in 1838 as a midshipman; ill health saw him in the care of a merchant called Despointes.

In 1847 he tried to set up a store at Dubbo but was refused permission by Robert Dulhunty, who owned the station.

He sold his general store in 1873 (having acquired it from Despointes in the meantime), and subsequently ran a vineyard at his Emulga property.
