Susannah Hannaford

Susannah Hannaford, née Elliott (25 December 1790 – 7 April 1861) was an early immigrant to South Australia.

Susannah and her husband William Hannaford (28 April 1797 – 1838) lived in Rattery, Devon and brought up a large family.

After the death of her husband Susannah liquidated all their assets and boarded the Brightman to emigrate to South Australia, landing in December 1840.

Long before any port facilities, they were obliged to wade ashore, Richard carrying his mother on his shoulders.

Among their children were: The pioneering family founded by James Hannaford (c. 1829 – 4 June 1876), whose activities centred on Teatree Gully, and about whom little is known, are probably not related.
