Pikes "Register of Emigrant Labourers Applying for a Free Passage to South Australia" lists 3 Neagles –
1. George, a married agricultural labourer aged 38 with a wife Nellie nee Langford) aged 34 and 5 male children aged 14, 9, 7 and 1 and 2 girls aged 12 and 4 years.
2. James, a single farm labourer aged 16,
3. Edmond, a single farm labourer aged 18
All are listed as living in Kiell Ireland, and were entered in the Register in Ireland on 6 March 1840.
The Mary Dugdale left Bristol on 2 June 1840, and arrived at Adelaide on 1 October 1840. I believe that James and Edmond are sons of George and Nellie, and are listed separately because they are over the age where they could travel at no cost to the parents. (No charge for children under 2, for children 2 - 15, their passage had to be paid for by parents, friends or the Parish - info from the above Register)
George Neagle and family are recorded in the South Australian Census of 1841 in the District of Thebarton as follows -
Males - 1 under-7, 2 under-14, 2 under-21 (James & Edmond), 1 under 50(George) - Total 6 males
Females - 1 under-7, 1 under-14, 1 under-35 (Nellie) - Total 3 females
George is then recorded as being a farmer living at Gleville (now Beaumont) in November 1843 when his wife Nellie died.
George is recorded in Robert J Noye's "Clare, a District History" as "a pioneer cattle owner, who in the late 1840s lived at the foot of the hill on which the (Neagle's) rock is situated." Clare is a South Australian town in the mid-north of the state.
George was alive in 1854 when his daughter Alice Alicia married Thomas William MORAN at Penwortham on 27 December 1854.
After that, we have not been able to find any further record of George!
