Social History
Hugh Gault Breakey was christened in 1829 at County Monaghan, Ireland, eleventh born of fourteen children of John Breakey and Elizabeth Small.
In December 1855, Hugh emigrated from Ireland and arrived at Hobsons Bay onboard the Albatross along with 73 passengers in steerage and 8 other passengers in cabins.
Hugh Gault Breakey, carter (1829-1873) married Irishwoman, Elizabeth Swan (1846-1938) in Melbourne in 1865 and began their life together, and gave birth to four children.
Hugh was the first Crown land purchaser of lot 8 of section 80, in Hotham, on the corner of Errol, Chapman and Murphy Streets.
But only eight short years after his marriage, Hugh died in 1873 at 44 years of age.
Thirteen years after Hugh’s death, Elizabeth Breakey, nee Swan married John Campbell in 1886. They lived for a period of time at number 63 Hawke Street, West Melbourne where Elizabeth’s daughter Ada Whitehill Breakey married her husband, John Charles Pain, a builder (1861-1927) in 1889, they lived in Kensington.
But John and Ada’s marriage was to be cut short. In 1892 John sued Ada for divorce on the grounds of her desertion.
Ada Pain (1868-1947) remarried Andrew Alan Bull in 1893.
