ship Nugget, 1,128 tons, Captain James Benton, from Liverpool 1st (4th) April 1854, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 3rd July 1854
South Australian Register Tuesday 4th July 1854
Monday July 3rd, 1854:- the ship Nugget, 1,128 tons, Benton, Master, from Liverpool April 1st (4th) 1854
— 15th ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1854 ; 10 births and 12 deaths on the passage ; Arthur D. White, surgeon-superintendent.
ship Nugget
This Government emigrant ship arrived yesterday, in 90 days from Liverpool,
having left that port on the 4th April. The numbers of souls about to be landed we find stated at 400. During the voyage the Surgeon Superintendent had as many as 30 young patients prostate; and the deaths chiefly from Measles and Croup, were no fewer than 12 in number.
The names of the Emigrants will be found in the proper column, but the official classification has not reached us.
This first-class Clipper ship, which has just accomplished her first voyage from England, was built at Quebec by Messrs. Oliver and Co., and is the property of J. Bold, Esq., of Liverpool.
Although the voyage from England has been performed in less time, under more favourable circumstances of wind and weather, the Nugget has fully maintained her high character, as having been known to make a distance of 310 Miles in 24 hours ; for on her voyage to Port Adelaide, whilst under close reefed topsails, her average speed for three days in succession was twelve knots an hour.
The weather was more than usually variable, with a remarkable succession of calms and head winds. the longitude of the Cape of Good Hope was passed on the 13th June.
Arrived here on the 3rd July, having been ninety one days on the passage, bringing to the Colony 402 souls. Ten births and fourteen deaths occurred at sea ; measles prevailing during the early part of the voyage. Eight deaths were caused by that disease. This ship is admirably adapted for the conveyance of emigrants — it is lofty between the decks, and well lighted, and ventilated. Upwards of a hundred single girls arrived by this ship, but were not of the class most in demand in the colony. The surgeon-superintendent of the Nugget is of opinion that the system of berthing amidships might have been adopted with benefit in this vessel. He objects to the lying-in hospital being in the compartment appropriated to the young women, as it is the most noisy part of the ship, and also most difficult of speedy access at night.

Andrew McDade and his wife Jane and three children, Mary, Isabella, and Margaret arrived in South Australia on 3 July 1854 on the Nugget from Liverpool. Their last place of residence was Fermanagh AB25, Ulster Ireland.
They bought land and settled at New Glenelg which is now Somerton Park. The area being on the land where Sacred Heart College is - from Brighton Rd down to the Esplanade.
They had a dairy farm. Andrews occupation was given as a Cow Keeper.
He started off with a small holding and then gradually increased his holdings. He was able to get his first land through a loan from the Hindmarsh Building Society. (Information gained from the Lands Titles Office). The three daughters married in St Patrick's Church in the city (Adelaide).
Mary Jane to Cornelius Reid 1 Nov 1864.
Margaret to Jeremiah Joseph Daly 14 April 1879.
Isabella to William Joseph Murphy 28 Jan 1878.
Andrew made his will on on 17 Aprl 1882. He died 4 months later on 28 August 1882 aged 67 years. The interesting part of his will: there is mention of a son Edward. Edward is left money in trust for when he reaches 21 years of age.
No one in the family knew that a son existed. As to what happened to him I have been unable to trace. There is no birth certificate in the years I have searched. He does not appear to have either a marriage or death cetificate. I just cannot find a trace of him.
I have looked in the Catholic archives - no baptism certificates in the Glenelg area for that time. He is again mentioned in the succession duty papers dated 3 Feb 1886 as son Edward.
Andrew's wife Jane died 14 October 1897. Both Andrew and Jane are buried in West Terrace cemetery near Chapel 1 Catholic sector. Maragret and Jeremiah Daly are buried with them.
