Introduction

William Septimus de Septimo Moorhouse was the 7th son of the 7th son. He was born in Knottingley, Yorkshire to William and Ann. William Septimo de Septimus was one of the early pioneer families in the Hay district of NSW, Australia. He married twice as his first wife died at an early age. He was an excellent horseman and was a Cobb and Co coach driver. He leased some land near Hay and also was the licensee of a hotel or inn at Hay. The terrible droughts and dust storms in the Riverina district made farming difficult. One of his children, Fannie (Fanny) May Moorhouse born 1875 married Gilbert Manus Magill in 1900 and their daughter Fanny (Peggy) Magill and her husband Ernest File adopted me. My mother and grandmother always told me they were related to the Tyson family by a relative Eliza Herring who married John Magill (Gilbert's father). Eliza remarried after John died and was Eliza Hill. William Septimus de Septimo Moorhouse had an older brother, William Sefton Moorhouse who went to New Zealand. There is a monument to him in Christchurch. They are related to the Bishop James Moorhouse who lived in Melbourne for a number of years.
