1875 Melbourne arrival of John Walter and Sarah Ann Moxon

Scott Moxon Hults, a Moxon Society member who lives in Alabama, USA has discovered that one of his ancestor's brothers migrated to Australia.  He was John Walter Moxon, born 1850 in London, one of 11 children of George and Louisa Scott Moxon.  He married Sarah Ann Pearson in Southwark, Surrey in 1872.

John W. and Sarah Moxon arrived in Melbourne on the Lincolnshire from Gravesend on 9th September 1875.

John Walter was the brother of Scott's great grandfather, Arthur Moxon, born in Lambeth, London in 1860 and died in New Haven, CT in 1909.

So here is another Moxon family spread around the world.  Scott and his wife Vivian have been working on the tree MX48 for the Society.
