Biography

This profile is part of the Cudmore Name Study.

Daniel married Mary Nihill on 15 January 1835 at Drehidtarsrna, Co Limerick, Ireland. The marriage was announced in the Limerick Chronicle of 24 January 1835

At Drehedtarsna Church, in this County, by the Rev. S. Lennard, Daniel Cudmore, Esq.son of the late Patrick Cudmore, of Manister, Esq. to Mary, eldest daughter of Daniel Nihill, of Rockville, near Adare, Esq.[1]

On 11 February 1835 Daniel and Mary Cudmore left Ireland on the “John Denniston” for Hobart Town, Tasmania, Australia. Mary’s mother and two of her sisters travelled with them. (Mary's father and her other sisters joined them in Tasmania later.) The “John Denniston” arrived in Van Diemen’s Land on 7 June, after a voyage of more than four months.[2]

Daniel and Mary had the following children:

  1. Dymphna Maria 1836–1899
  2. James Francis 1837–1912
  3. Mary Jane 1839–1912
  4. Margaret Alice 1842–1871
  5. Daniel Henry Cashel 1844–1913
  6. Sara Elizabeth (Rosy) 1846–1930
  7. Robert 1848–1849
  8. Milo Robert 1852–1913
  9. Arthur Frederick 1854–1919

On his arrival in Hobart Daniel Cudmore applied for a teaching position. However, a review of his application found that it was not written by himself. Mary had written the document on his behalf. Nevertheless, such was the shortage of trained people, Daniel was engaged as a teacher and clerk at Ross, in the Midlands, seventy miles north of Hobart.

Daniel arrived in South Australia in January 1837 on board the ship the "William". His wife and children followed later.[3]

Obituary from Adelaide Observer, 7 November 1891:

We regret to have to record the death of Mr. Daniel Cudmore, of Claremont, Glen Osmond, who passed away at the ripe old age of eighty years. Mr. Cudmore was one of South Australia's pioneers. He arrived with his wife at Hobart in the merchant ship John Denison, Captain Mackie, in 1835, en route to Sydney, but was persuaded by his cousin, Surgeon Russell, of the 63rd Regiment, to try his fortune in Tasmania. When the province of South Australia was proclaimed Mr. Cudmore left for the new country early in 1837. Possessed of indomitable energy and pluck, and gifted with physical strength above the average, Mr. Cudmore was enabled to endure the many rough experiences which were the lot of the first settlers. Soon after coming to the colony he engaged in the pursuit of sheep-farming in the North, being the first to take up the now valuable Yongala Estate. He afterwards acquired large squatting properties in Queensland and New South Wales. He took an active interest in exploring works. About the year 1863 he made a five months' trip into the interior of Northern Queensland, afterwards publishing a narrative of his experiences, and on other occassions he did no inconsiderable service to the cause of setttlement. In 1864 he went to live at Claremont. He leaves a widow, four sons, and three daughters. The remains of the late Mr. Cudmore were buried on Wednesday afternoon in the Anglican Church Cemetery at Mitcham. Service was first conducted in St. Michael's Church by the Revs. W. H. Mudie, of Glen Osmond, and F. W. Samwell, of Mitcham, the organist playing the "Dead March in Saul" and other appropriate music. The chief mourners were:– Messrs. Milo and Arthur Cudmore (sons), Dr. Sprod (son-in-law), and Messrs. A. M. Cudmore, H. C. Cudmore, and John Sprod (grandsons of the deceased). At the grave amongst many others who had come to pay their last tribute of respect were Messrs. R. Barr Smith, P. B. Coglin, A. S. Chapman, Peter Waite, George Boothby, J. S. Lloyd, J. Howard, C. Smedley, B. Moulden, J. J. Watson, H. H. Mudie, and R. J. Rigaud. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr. P.Gay.
