Life Events
George North was born about 1822 in Athens, Greece, son of Thomas Tramountanas. He was born Giorgios Tramountanas, but changed his name in around 1850, several years after arriving in South Australia.Although no official records have been found to date, it is thought he arrived in South Australia as a sailor on an trading ship that was bringing goods and/or passengers to the Colony, in about 1842.
On 26 September 1858 he married Lydia Vosper, daughter of William Vosper and Elizabeth Gowman, in St Mary's, the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Port Adelaide, South Australia. The witnesses were James Fisher, seaman of Port Adelaide (made his X mark) and Anne Bourne, housekeeper of Port Adelaide.2,1
In 1861 George was a shepherd at Green Patch, a sheep run of 29 square miles (Lease No. 99), north of Port Lincoln, owned by James Stewart Sinclair. The overseer at that time was Gottlieb Schmidt. George was one of several shepherds employed by Sinclair and many of them shore the sheep in their care. Was George the first shearer in the family? Several of his descendants were certainly top "gun" shearers.3,4
On 3 February 1869 George, Lydia and their two boys arrived in Port Adelaide from Port Lincoln, on board the steamer "Lubra". This was probably to put in their application for the land that they were susequently allotted, Section 217, Hd. of Lincoln.5
On 12 May 1869 he bought 80 acres of land for £80, being section 217, Hd. of Lincoln, County Flinders, South Australia
This purchase was done under the "South Australian Land Purchases by Credit Selection" scheme, whereby land could be bought by paying 20% of the value on purchase, the balance payable at the end of four years.6
After a few years he and Lydia and the two boys moved further north-west up the Eyre Peninsula and on Thursday 1 March 1877, at a Government auction of land at Bramfield, South Australia, George bought Section 7 for £6/15/0 ($13.50). This auction was the beginning of the township of Bramfield which was proclaimed on 25th January, 1877.7
On 19 March 1877 he purchased 185 acres for £185, being Section 35N, Hundred of Ward, County Musgrave, South Australia , under the same scheme (need to check; The South Australian Register of June 24th reports he paid £2 per acre.)6 11 April 1877 he bought Section 39S, Hundred of Ward, County Musgrave under the same scheme, a further 455 acres for £455 plus £22.6
George applied to be naturalized on 8 April 1878 at Warna Grange, near Talia, the application form being signed by George Agars, J.P. This was received by the relevant authorities on 29 April, 1878, but, to date, no certificate has been located.8 His naturalization application (No. 836) was stamped "approved by His Excellency the Governor in Executive Council" on Wednesday, 8 May 1878.8
19 June 1882 he bought another 185 acres for £185, being Section 36N, Hundred of Ward, Musgrave.6
On 16 December 1886, from the Warrant Book of the Elliston Police Station:- a search warrant was issued by Andrew Scott J.P. re Francis Myers against George North for stealing 1 keg, 1 axe & 1 hammer. The warrant was cancelled before it was executed.9
He died from senile decay, in Colton, South Australia, on 29 November 1911.10
George was buried in the Colton Catholic Cemetery, Colton, South Australia.11
