A colonist of 61 years, the late Mrs. Amelia Valentine Payne was born In Bristol, England, on February 14, 1849, and came to Western Australia in 1851 with her parents in the prison ship, the first, Pyrenees. Her father, Mr. William Glanville was officer in charge of the men on board.

wife died at the birth of their second son, the first son being born on the voyage out from England.
