Note: Thomas Denby's family came from Snaith, Yorkshire, originally where they have been traced back to 1712. Thomas was baptised at Snaith & was the 5th. son of JOHN DENBY who ran the home farm for the Dawnay family of Cowick Hall which was built between 1660 & 1690 for Sir John Dawnay who in 1680 was created first Viscount Downe. (The Dawnay family occupied Cowick Hall until 1869). John Denby & his family lived at the Lodge on the property where they are buried in the Dawnay private burial ground, & not at the churchyard of St. Laurence's, Snaith, as would be expected.
Thomas became a tailor & lived & worked at Soho, London where he married MARY ANN DEMPSEY (1825-1886). They emigrated to South Australia by the "Westminster" & arrived in July 1848 with two children, the younger being Elizabeth who was born at Soho, London in 1847. Thomas Denby is recorded as farming at Findon but apparently this was not successful as he returned to his tailoring trade & lived at Stephney. The Denbys had eleven children. They were buried at the Payneham Cemetery.
