John Burdett Wittenoom

John Burdett Wittenoom (24 October 1788 – 23 January 1855) was a colonial clergyman who was the second Anglican clergyman to perform religious services in the Swan River Colony, Australia, soon after its establishment in 1829.

John Burdett Wittenoom was born in England at Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire.

Shortly after his first wife's death, he decided to emigrate to Western Australia arriving on Wanstead in January 1830 with his mother, sister and four sons.

He singlehandedly conducted services alternately every Sunday at Perth, Guildford and Fremantle until 1836.

Together, they had five sons, including John Burdett, Henry, Frederick Dirck, and Charles.
