Married 1824. In 1829 George Rewell indentured himself as a labourer to the Henty family who had chartered a sailing ship the 'Caroline' to take themselves and their people to the Swan River Colony. In 1832 George Rewell accepted a 200 acre land grant in the Avon Valley but he was never to work the land and it was returned. The reason he did not take up the land was probably because of the drastic food shortage and trouble with the aborigines. By 1833 George and Jane had two more sons - another daughter was born 1835. Had Perth Lot 35 in 1831. Land at Albany Lot 93 in 1833. The daughter was only to live three years and another son was born and died in 1839. By 1840 George is recorded as being employed as a fisherman and gardener. Their last child, a daughter Lucy was born in 1840. In 1843 George Rewell advertised in the 'Inquirer' newspaper that his licenced boat the 'Ocean Queen' would travel daily between Perth and Fremantle and the passenger fare was three shillings. The competition on the Swan River was fierce and he obviously did not have the capital to keep going and to be mentioned in any records. George died 16 December 1875 at his home in Mounts Bay Road. The obituary in the 'WA Times' on the 24 Dec 1875, speaks of the respect and esteem George Rewell earned for himself in the Colony. Jane Rewell went to live with eldest daughter Ann (married name Bowra) after George's death. Jane survived her husband by eight years and died on the 30 September 1883 in the Bowra house in Goderich Street. The death certificate indicates that Jane had a broken thigh, so she must have had a fall and did not recover. Jane Rewell was 85 years old at her death and the obituary in the 'Inquirer' newspaper named her as one of the oldest residents in Western Australia. George and Jane Rewell are buried in the Pioneer Cemetery, East Perth.
