Robert Gilderdale
Robert Gilderdale was born in 1743 at Thorne in Yorkshire. He married Ann Howard in 1770 at Thorne and they had 9 children. His wife died in 1788 at Thorne. He was a master mariner who drowned. His son Joseph was sole executor in his will dated December 1794, but he died in 1798 and a committee was appointed to manage his sons affairs. It looks like Robert may have remarried to Mary Townrow in 1790.
Mary Goodwin
Mary Goodwin was the daughter of Joseph Goodwin, a merchant in Scawby, Lincolnshire. She was probably born around 1770. She married Joseph Gilderdale, a shipowner from Thorne in nearby Yorkshire, in 1797. They had a daughter Catherine, born the following year, however Joseph died in York that year.
In 1804, Mary remarried John Smith at Wrawby. Her daughter married William Foster Sergeant at Wrawby in 1824, then emigrated to South Australia with the 7 grandchildren in December 1837.

Joseph Gilderdale
Joseph Gilderdale was born in 1770. His parents were Robert Gilderdale and Ann Howard of Thorne in Yorkshire. He married Mary Goodwin at Scawby, near Brigg, in Lincolnshire in 1797, but he died the following year leaving an infant daughter, Catherine.
His father had given him a £400 interest in his ship the Walker before he died in 1794, leaving Joseph as sole executor.
It appears that Joseph may have suffered a mental illness before he died.

Catherine Gilderdale
Catherine Gilderdale was christened at Thorne in Yorkshire in 1798. Her father Joseph died in York that year and was buried at Thorne. In 1804, her mother remarried John Smith at Wrawby. This explains the surname Smyth given on her son William's death certificate in 1902.
Catherine married William Foster Sergeant at Wrawby, near Brigg, in Lincolnshire in 1824. They named their first son, Joseph Gilderdale Sergeant and their eldest daughter Mary Goodwin Sergeant after her mother. They had 7 children when they emigrated to Adelaide from Gravesend in 1838, the youngest son dying after they had been at sea for 3 months, and the next youngest son also died 6 weeks after they arrived. By then, Catherine also had a second daughter Jane, who was born 9 days after they arrived.
They farmed on the Sturt River at Marion, not far from Adelaide, but in 1858, William died when he fell from his horse in South Terrace. Her eldest son, Joseph had died in 1851 and the next son, William had gone to Victoria.
Catherine died in 1884 and was buried with her husband at West Terrace cemetery in Adelaide.

William Foster Sergeant 1800
William Foster Sergeant was born in 1801 at Brigg in Lincolnshire, the eldest son of John Sergeant and Jane Foster. He married Catherine Gilderdale in 1824 at Wrawby, near Brigg. Pigots Directory for Brigg in 1828-9 shows him as a Maltster at Scawby Brook. He is also listed as a tanner and fellmonger at that address.

They had 7 children when they applied for a free passage to South Australia as an emigrant labourer in November 1837. The following month, they embarked on Canton, from Gravesend, arriving in Adelaide in May 1838. Their youngest son died after they had been at sea for 3 months and a second daughter was born 9 days after they arrived. Six weeks later, Henry, aged 4 died.
In 1840 William was listed as a cultivator in a log house on the Sturt River. He had a well and 12 acres, which had increased to 30 by 1843.
In 1851, their eldest son, Joseph died. The next son, William, went to Victoria and married there in 1858.
William died in October 1858 when he fell from his horse in South Terrace. He was buried at West Terrace cemetery in Adelaide. The farm gradually reduced in size and was sold in 1902.
