THE SALTER FAMILY
</p>

<p>Descended from Marianne Smyth-Blood and William Thomas Salter.</p>

<p>Marianne was a 6th great grand-daughter of Edmund Blood of Makeney; for her ancestry, see <a href="smyth-blood.shtml#smyth-blood_3">
The Smyth-Blood Family.</a></p>

<p>William was the son of William Salter and Anne Shea, of Mambre Brook, near Angaston, South Australia.</p>

<p><i>Notes from my cousin Jane Fekete:</i><br />
William Salter arrived, aged 7 or 8, in South Australia in 1839, with his parents on the "Caroline". He died on 6 December 1895 in Adelaide, and is buried in West Terrace Cemetery.<br /><br />

According to Pastoral pioneers of South Australia, in 1856 William was helping his father to manage Baroota, a pastoral lease south of Port Augusta. Mambray Creek on this property derived its name from Mambre Brook, William Sr's home near Angaston. It seems that they did not live at Baroota at first, as various birth and death notices of their children from 1858-1861 give W.T. Salter's address as Manoora, about 40 km north of Kapunda. However, they were at Baroota in May 1863.<br /><br />

In 1866 the Baroota run was in financial difficulties and William and his father had to sell the land and sustained a substantial financial loss. Also in 1866, a child, Nathan Salter, was born to a William Salter and a Miss Clarke. The child lived only a few weeks. I know of no other William Salter in SA at that time, so presumably Marianne's husband had fathered a child out of wedlock. By this time Marianne had lost four children and had one still living, Matthew Henry Salter, then six years old. It seems likely that this was the end of William and Marianne's marriage, although it was not until 1874 that Marianne went into the civil service. In the years from 1866 to 1874, it is probable that Marianne lived with Dr and Mrs Blood and the rest of the family at Kapunda. As far as I know there was not a divorce. William Salter took jobs as station manager at a number of places, including Beltana.</p>
