By 1851 William was an apprentice shipwright living with his family in 16 Dundas Street, Monkwearmouth Shore.  The 1856 Directory of Sunderland lists William Storey as a Master Mariner of 22 Dundas Street, Monkwearmouth, Sunderland.  William Storey married Elizabeth Gahan on 19 September 1853, in London, where he stayed as a shipwright until at least 1861 with his young family.

Marriage: William Storey married Elizabeth Gahan at St Matthew’s Chapel, St Martin in the Fields, Westminster, London on 19 September 1858. William, a shipwright was a bachelor of full age living in Cranbourn St,. William's father was John Storey a shipwright. Elizabeth was full age, a spinster also living in Cranbourn St.  Her father was John Gahan a grocer. Witnesses were W Froile and M Baker.

There is a UK record of a William Storey making a passport application #15312 on 26 March 1860 and one for Elizabeth Storey #29165 on 16 August 1860.  So it is likely they were thinking about migrating as far back as 1860.

According to his death certificate, William was in NSW for 14 years in 1877. That is consistent with his insolvency papers of February 1870 where William states that "I have been here about 7 years. I carried a business at Bateman's Bay for about six months prior to my Sequestration, before that I was at Jervis Bay."  That is he migrated to Australia in about 1863. He possibly travelled to New South Wales without his family to investigate whether the migration to Australia for his family would be worthwhile.  He apparently thought it was appropriate to migrate to Australia because his wife, Elizabeth, with their two children, arrived in Sydney aboard the St Hilda on 30 January 1865. The shipping records state William Storey’s address as Mort Street, Balmain, which confirms he was already in Sydney awaiting his family’s arrival. It had been said that William's passage to Australia was paid by a local shipbuilder.

No clear record of entry to Australia for William has been found.  The closest is as an able bodied seaman arriving on the Dart in Sydney on 4 June 1863 is listed Wm Storey aged 29 from Scotland. The Dart departed from Lyttetton.  William Storey would have been unlikely to have given his origin as Scotland and in 1863 he should have been only 24.  Another possible entry is William Storkey(sic), able bodied seaman arriving on the Neville, from London to Sydney on 17 November 1863, aged 28 and listed as British.

William Storey was one of the pioneer shipbuilders of Australia. He initially built ships at Currambene Creek in Jervis Bay, New South Wales. Whilst at Currambene Creek in Jervis Bay William Storey built the Bungaree, a wood hull 2 mast topsail schooner of 89 tons.  This ship was wrecked on sisters reef, 20 miles south of Rottnest Island in Western Australia on 13 June 1876. George Dent established the local Currambene Creek shipbuilding industry in 1864 after having visited Currambene Creek in 1861 looking for timber. The availability of local timber encouraged the growth of the industry.

SHIPPING
"A new clipper schooner, built by William Storey, of Jervis Bay, to the order of Mr. George Dent, of this city, timber merchant has arrived. She is built of hardwood, and for finish and workmanship considered first class. She is finished with pine spans and wire rigging, and is of the following dimensions:- Length, overall, 77 feet; on the keel, 60 feet; beam, 17 feet, with a depth of 7 feet."

In 1869 William moved to Bateman's Bay to set up a shipbuilding business there.  In 1869 while at Bateman's Bay William had built vessels for the Craig brothers and for Thomas Books.

The Bateman's Bay business was tough as in 1870 William Storey was declared bankrupt with his address then given as Hay Street, Haymarket, Sydney.  

William Storey's insolvency papers (State Records NRS 13654 file 9896) of 1870 indicate that he had built a 4 room slab house on a four acre block of land at Bateman's Bay, Clyde River.  The leasehold for the land had been applied for in June 1869.  His furniture consisted of 2 sofas, 6 chairs, 3 safes (chest of Drawers, toilet table, wash stand), colonial oven, bedstead, kitchen table, four post bed stead and bedding.  His debtors included:
Mark Storey, his uncle, who was working for him at Bateman's Bay as a shipwright from 8 August 1869 to 30 January 1870;
George Gerrard, another workman;
Henry Wilson, from Shoalhaven;
Francis Guy, storekeeper from Nelligen;
Charles Peniston, butcher of Shoalhaven;
Robert Jeffreys, butcher of Moruya; and
Mrs Tynall of Woollamia.

William Storey remained at Batemans Bay until at least late 1875 as his last child, Gilbert was born there.  In the Grevilles 1872, and 1875-1877 Post Office Directory for Bateman's Bay is listed: Storey, William - shipbuilder.  In the Bateman's Bay and Clyde River electoral rolls there is no entry in 1870 but in 1873 is listed:

CENTRAL POLICE COURT.-MONDAY.
(Before the Mayor and the Polioe Magistrate, with
Messers. Spence, Merriman, and Smart.
George Plankett, John Connors, and William Fotheringham, under warrant, were brought up, charged with absenting themselves from the hired services of William Storey. Mr. Carroll appeared for the defendants, and asked their Worships if they could read the signature attached to the warrants, which rather puzzled them. Mr. Carroll stated that the defendants were all shipwrights, and had been engaged by Storey, who had since gone insolvent and broken his contract. He (Mr. Carroll) found fault with the informal manner in which the warrants were drawn up; the warrants were of the old class, and the words "chief oonstable" has not appeared in a warrant for the last eleven or twelve years. Mr. Carroll called William Fotheringham, who said four of them went together to Nelligen. Witness was present when the agreement was made with Plunkett, and will swear that Storey has falled to carry out his agreement not only with Plunkett, but with the lot. Every point was taken of them; they agreed by the month, and it was five weeks before they got any money at all; time was stopped for wet weather, and every advantage taken. John O'Connor corroborated the evidence of last witness. After some delay his Worship (Mr. Spenoe) said that the bench did not intend to interfere with the case, and would leave the defendants in the hands of the Police, who could take them back under the warrants.

"ATTEMPTING TO PERSUADE A SEAMAN TO DESERT.
At the Water Police Court, yesterday, William Storey, the secretary to the Seamen's Union, was charged, on remand, with having, on the 23rd of February met, attempted to persuade a seaman, named John Fleming, to absent himself from his duty on board of the steamer Lord Ashley. The case excited a great deal of interest among seamen, a large number of them being present during the hearing of the case. The proof of the charge rested upon the evidence of Mr. Manning, the owner of the vessel, and that of the chief officer, both of whom stated that, on the 22nd and 23rd ultimo, the defendant went on board the Lord Ashley and endeavoured to persuade Fleming and others of the crew to leave, because they had subscribed articles containing conditions opposed to the rules of the Seamen's Union. It was shown by witnesses for the defence that the defendant, while on board the vessel, was endeavouring to induce some of the men to become members of the Union, and to obtain signatures to a proposed petition to the Legislative Assembly; but the main facts of the case were not denied, though the witnesses stated that they did not hear the defendant make use of the expressions deposed to by the chief officer and Mr. Manning. The Bench found the defendant guilty, and imposed upon him a fine of 10 pounds, with professional and Court costs amounting to 2pounds 9s 6d. Mr. F. Gannon appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. D. Buchanan, instructed by Mr. Greer, appeared for the defence."

Death Certificate: William Storey a Shipwright died 23rd June 1877 at Waterview Street, Balmain. He was a male of 45 years (actually 39 years). He died suffering fever and haemorrhaging of the bowels. His father was John Storey a Shipwright, mother was Jane Bainbridge.  He was buried on 24th June 1877 at Balmain (on 12 May 1941 was reinterred at the Field of Mars, North Ryde, NSW).  He was born at Sunderland, England and had been 14 years in the colony.  He was married 20 years earlier in London to Elizabeth Graham (actually Gahan).  Children of the marriage were Mary Ann aged 18, Elizabeth died aged 1, William 14, Jane 12, Elizabeth 10, John 8, Thomas 6, Henry 4, and Gilbert 2.

"Was One Of A Famous Family
EARLY PIONEERS
A perilous voyage of 200 miles in an open boat by a woman and her eight children in the last century was recalled by the recent death of a well-known identity on the water-front of Sydney Harbour, Mr. Henry Storey, the head of the firm of H. Storey, Engineering and Boiler making firm, Sussex Lane, Sydney.

Came To Build Ships
The boat was among the first built in this state by Mr. William John Storey, who was one of the pioneer shipbuilders of Australia.  He came from Sunderland, England, with his wife, formerly Elizabeth Ann Gahan, the daughter of a schoolmaster, and two children, in the "Sixties" of the last century, to build ships at Jervis Bay, later at Bateman's Bay, and then proceeded to Waterview Bay, Sydney, to build a ship for Captain Rowntree. His wife undertook the voyage from Clyde River to Batesman's Bay and then on to Sydney with her eight children, who were later to attain fame.  Mr. Henry Storey, late of Drummoyne, was one of that gallant boat party.  Others among those children were:
John Storey, who was a member of the Legislative Assembly representing Balmain, for 29 years, and became premier of New South Wales;
Thomas Storey, who was for 13 years a member of the Legislative Council of N.S.W. Parliament, and now retains the title of "Honorable";
Gilbert Storey, who was Mayor of Balmain for three years, and was a champion bowler of Gladstone Park Bowling Club.
The only surviving member of the family at the present time is the Hon. Thomas Storey.
One of the last acts of Mr. Henry Storey, in his lifetime, was to have the remains of his father and mother removed from the old Balmain Cemetery, Leichhardt, and placed in his family vault at the Field of Mars Cemetery."


The following material is based on excepts from "William Storey 1832-1877 and Descendants in Australia" by Phil Storey.
The first Storey to settle in Australia was William who was born at Sunderland in 1838. His parents were John William Storey and Jane Bainbridge, his father being a shipwright, the family trade which the son, William, also followed. William married Elizabeth Gahan in London, her hometown. Their first child was Mary-Ann born in 1855, the second daughter Elizabeth, died before her first birthday, then followed William junior. Six more children were to be born in Australia, the first was Jane, then another Elizabeth and four brothers, John, Thomas, Henry and Gilbert.

In about 1863 William, and then in 1865 Elizabeth, with two children, Mary Ann and William (jnr.) arrived in Australia. It had been said that William's passage was paid by a local shipbuilder.

The family settled initially at Jervis Bay where William was employed as a shipwright, although there seems no record of shipbuilding in that area. It is possible that the Nowra newspaper may have some early records. Three more children were born at Jervis Bay; Jane in 1865, Elizabeth in 1867, and John in 1869. They moved to Bateman's Bay as shown by the local directory which listed William Storey as a shipwright operating on the Clyde River. The 1877 edition of the directory lists him as a ship builder.

In William's time there was a weekly service from Sydney to Nelligen, (9 miles up the Clyde River from Bateman's Bay) using vessels up to 100 feet long, which were comfortable and reliable. These were built in N.S.W. of timber construction powered by steam and driven by paddle wheel.

Nelligen was founded in 1854 and became a significant town long before Bateman's Bay. It owed its importance to the finding of gold in the Braidwood district 35 miles inland and to the farming and grazing products requiring shipment to the Sydney markets. Bateman's Bay did not take off till the establishment of the Guy timber mill in 1870.

Just before William began working on the Clyde, a ship called the Coolongatta was built there. She was a wooden paddle steamer of 87 tons and 98 feet long. In 1873 the vessel was wrecked on the Queensland coast at a place which is now known by the name of that unfortunate vessel.

Francis Guy was very interested in boats and shipping. He specialised in supplying boat timbers, exporting widely, even to New Zealand. He also traded in vessels, buying, selling, and building. He had a large slipway adjacent to the timber yard for those interests.

We are not sure of the exact relationship between Francis Guy and William, but it was common practice in those days for a man with money and materials to commission the construction of vessels, hire or partner shipwrights to do the actual building, and then register the documents in his own name as the builder. In a publication called "Eurobodalla, History of the Moruya District", it states that "--in the 70's both Francis Guy and a man named Storey were building there in the 70's".

The vessels that are thought that William built for Francis Guy, are as follows.

The Lizzie Guy, completed in October, 1871; 89.3 x 19.2 x 8.2 feet. One deck, 2-mast topsail schooner, measuring 93.41 tons.

The Frank Guy, 126 x 25 x 9.6 feet, a 3-mast schooner, measuring 195 tons. This was a vessel of considerable size for those days; its completion was reported by the Sydney Morning Herald, 3rd Sept. 1872 which noted that it was built by William Storey.

The timber yard was sold eventually to John Perry in 1900 who operated there for many years turning spokes for carriage wheels as well as making tool handles and other wood turned products. In the late 1960's or early 70's the mill ceased operations and the Shire acquired the land and turned it into a public park. Local people can still point out the site of the mill and slipway, although to the casual observer there is little evidence of Frank Guy's mill and it's one time dominance of the township.

From boat building at Bateman's Bay in the 1860's to repairs on Australia's largest ships, Storey & Keers is a name long-established in the maritime industry in NSW.

The town sited on Bateman's Bay was discovered by Captain Cook and named for one of his early commanders. He never landed and rightly assessed it to be a shallow bay about 5 miles long, offering little shelter for shipping. For this reason Bateman's Bay was overlooked by many who came after Cook but it is an area of outstanding beauty, and for the Storey descendant with a sense of history, it is well worth a visit.

The rail lines began to creep out from Sydney, and the further they stretched the more coastal shipping declined. It may have been this trend which caused William to accept a commission to build a ship in Sydney. His client was Captain Thomas Rowntree, a prominent merchant and shipowner. William set out for Sydney on horseback. It must have been quite a ride, nearly 250 miles on tracks, over mountains and through rough bushlands. Aborigines may well have posed a threat on the lonely stretches. Why he would choose to travel this way can only be guessed at, so we have to think he must have needed transport in the city, and this was the best and cheapest way to get it there.

He settled down to work on his big project and some time later Elizabeth and the children left their home to join him. But at this point the sequence of events is not clear. It was thought that the Sydney project was a "one-off," and William had intended to return to his business on the Clyde. However tragedy struck when he took ill and died. Elizabeth then without a husband, decided on a previously discussed plan to move the family to Balmain. William had said the days of wooden ships would soon be over and he wanted his sons to build steel ships.

The dates do not fit this version, but point to William sending for his family to join him in Balmain. Probably a small point but it seems to turn a dramatic adventure into quite an ordinary event.

Elizabeth made preparations to leave their home on the beautiful Clyde River, maybe she regretted leaving, but life would be easier in the city with shops and schools nearby. They would travel to Sydney in their own sailing boat. This has been variously described as being 14, 16, 18ft., long but a family friend wise in the ways of the sea said it was a ships boat. This would have been about 22ft. long with a good beam and very seaworthy with a competent crew. Boats were a way of life for this family and while there was some apprehension for Elizabeth the others would have taken it in their stride. There must have been clothing and food together with some treasured possessions and eight children. If the date is correct, that is 1875, the children's ages would be Mary Ann 16, William (jnr.) 12, Jane 10, Elizabeth 8, John 6, Thomas 4, Henry 2, and Gilbert 1. The 200 miles to Sydney with 8 children in an open boat, in the Tasman Sea that can be as wild, rough and as brutal as any stretch of water on this earth, would have been quite an adventure.

William's client, Captain Rowntree was one of the founders of Mort's Dock in 1871, and it was probably his regard for William that was to assist his sons in the future. We may wonder why Mort's Dock did not get the contract to build the Captain's new ship, but the Dock was set up especially to clean, paint and repair large vessels of steel construction. There was only one other in the Harbour, the Fitzroy Dock on Cockatoo Island. This had first been hewn from the solid rock in 1839 by convict labour for a grain store, then in 1857 it was converted into the Colony's first graving dock. Prior to its construction crude floating docks built from barges were used, but these had many limitations and land based docks became a dire necessity as ships became larger and more numerous. Captain Rowntree's vessel would be timber construction with an imported steam engine suited to the function of a coastal trader. It would be built on the harbour side and require the special skills that a shipwright such as William could provide.

Elizabeth settled the children into school and adapted to city life. Two years later William took ill, suffering fever and haemorrhaging from the bowels. He was not to leave his bed alive and died within two months on 23 June 1877, aged thirty nine. Elizabeth was left alone to fend for herself and eight children, their ages were Mary-Ann 18, William 14, Jane 12, Elizabeth 10, John 8, Thomas 6, Henry 4 and Gilbert 2.

The boys went to work at a very early age, even as young as ten, still Elizabeth insisted they all attend night school and obtain a good basic education.

The result of Elizabeth's family management is quite clear as we look back through the years. The girls made successful and happy marriages and the boys built outstanding careers in business and politics. In fulfilment of William's wishes each of the sons was apprenticed to a company associated with building steel ships; there were problems, but these were overcome. Employers required an indenture fee, and wages were so low that a boys expenses would have to be subsidised for several years.

Maybe the hand of Captain Rowntree was behind the generosity of Mort's Dock and Perdriau and West when they waived all fees and indentured each boy into a trade.

There were no pensions for widows, there were no social services as we know them today. If a family was starving the only way out was to hand the children over to the State, where they would be placed in an orphanage. The mother would go to a workhouse and work long hours for little more than food. It was an unhappy prospect, so that the chance for a mother to have her sons trained for a trade was prized above almost anything else.

There is little information of a personal nature known of this remarkable woman, but there is one little story that came from Tasman Storey. Despite the grinding financial hardships that Elizabeth endured, when she died she did not owe any person, not even a penny. One day one of her children called around to see her and found she had died in the night, the money for the milk had been left beside the can before she had retired.

From Bruce Collier on 12 September 2004:
The Collier side of the family had a very vague idea of Stephen Goddard (Lall) but that was all. Nobody ever seemed to mention him. However, I knew Jane Goddard (nee Storey) very well. I used to do her shopping for her on Saturday mornings when I remember that butter was 1/7d per pound and potatoes 14lbs for one shilling.

Jean Bailey (nee Collier) understood that Jane Storey and her brothers mostly had red hair.

Mark was born at 56 Hendon Street in South Bishopwearmouth, Durham. Mark was a journeyman painter.

Marriage: Mark Storey

He married Elizabeth Ann Mason (born 1855 in Sunderland, Durham) on 12 August 1873 in the parish church at Hendon, Bishopwearmouth. At that time Mark lived at 24 Sussex Street and Elizabeth lived in Henry Street and she was a midwife.

There are some inconsistencies in the 1901 and 1911 census for Mark and Elizabeth Storey's family.  Fred was listed as a grand son in the 1901 census but as a son in the 1911.  Also the 1911 census lists 10 children born and still living. It is believed that Frederick Storey, born 1893 was the son of Sarah Elizabeth Storey who did not marry, and Frederick was raised with his uncles and aunts.
