The S.S. Great Britain, Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s wonder of the Victorian age, in which my grandfather, Frederick Andrew Price, first sailed to Melbourne, Australia in 1873 at the age of 16, paying his own fare from earnings at his father’s corn flour mill in Gresford, Wales.. He would later traverse the seas between Australia and Wales three more times before settling down and marrying Helena Louisa Rogers at the Jubilee Methodist Church in Toorak, Melbourne, 26th Dec 1887.

Frederick Price, corn flour miller, of Weston House, Gresford in Denbighshire, Wales. 1830-1901, married Annie Boffey Peate of Maesbury Hall, at St. Oswald’s, Oswestry 30 Mar 1854. 11 children of that marriage - only one so far known to have married - Frederick Andrew above. Still looking for other possible marriages. After the death of Annie Boffey Price, Frederick re-married to Eliza Lloyd, daughter of Edward Lloyd, cabinet maker of Wrexham. They had two children, May 1874-1904 and Mary 1875. Mary is said to have married a gent surname of Jones! Spare the thought! There are too many of them in Wrexham, though he had something to do with the Borough Shire Council.
