Jeffrey and Ada disembarked at Port Adelaide on January 10, 1878, to begin their new life in Australia. With them was toddler Mabel who was born in England, and two-month old Vernon, born on the voyage off St. Helena in the Atlantic.
Little did Jeffrey and Ada know that they would create a mini-dynasty . . . .
Here we are, 126 years later. There have been 209 descendants, settling in all mainland States and Territories of this vast country. Some of these descendants have passed on, but as the years roll by, there will be more and more Australians who can claim to have Bruer blood in their veins.
A great achievement from humble beginnings. Jeffrey and Ada went on to have 12 children, seven girls and five boys, and because of this Tree, we are able to trace our way backwards (and forwards) in the greater family. The descendants can do so with pride!
