Thomas Dungey,

WHO relinquished business in Kent, England, in 1839, through the great depression in trade caused by the successive hop failures in that county, emigrated to South Australia, and arrived at Holdfast Bay early in February 1840, bringing his wife and family with him. Mr. Dungey's kindred were mostly engaged in manufacturing pursuits in Kent and the adjacent counties, as millers, curriers, hatters, fellmongers, etc., and he opened in business in Adelaide, commencing to manufacture tobacco in 1843, and pursuing other mercantile vocations for several years, until failing health caused him to remove into the country. He died at Happy Valley in August 1853; Mrs. Dungey surviving him many years. His sons are Mr. John Dungey, of Dungey, Ralph and Co., Limited, of this city, and Mr. Andrew Dungey, Agent, of Port Pirie. The remaining sons and daughter are settled in Victoria and New Zealand.
