The Mapleys in Hobart, Tasmania


Hobart harbour, Tasmania

Hobart waterfront, Tasmania

Richard Mapley (born 1810) of Great Linford moved to Tasmania in 1845, with his wife Fanny and children Joseph, Joshua, Jane, Sarah, Fanny, Mary Anne, Hannah and Thomas joining him in 1849. They initially settled in Hobart briefly, before moving to New Norwalk/Lachlan up the Derwent River 20 miles from Hobart.

Over time, the economic expansion of State capital Hobart drew Mapley generations back, some from there moving to Northern Tasmania or to mainland Australia.
