Sarah Moore nee Hornblow married John Henry Cadle on 29 Jan 1816 at St Pauls Deptford, England. He was a Tallow Chandler; a man who made and dealt in candles made of tallow, pig fat, a very smelly occupation; one that could make a man a significant merchant when houses were lit exclusively by candles. After they were married they lived in High Wycombe, where they started a family. Sarah took Mary Catherine Moore with her but left behind the other two children from her 1st marriage. Why she did this if their father was dead we havnt established , unless he was still living at the time of her 2nd marriage, which is what Annie suspect to be the case.. On 12 July 1819, the British government voted £50,000 for a scheme that would take as many people as possible to South Africa. The first of 21 ships set sail at the end of the same year. Some 4 000 men, women and children, divided into 60 'parties', left for the great unknown. John and Sarah Cadle initially applied as individuals to the Colonial Office of the British government on the assisted emigration scheme to the Cape Colony, South Africa. They were refused but later when they joined the Howard Party their application was approved . They boarded their transport ship 'Ocean' some time in November 1819 but the weather was atrocious with the Thames ice bound and they could not sail until Dec 13th. The ship got as far as Deal on the Kent coast when in encountered foul weather and was delayed there until after December 25th when they sailed for Portsmouth. From Portsmouth they sailed on Jan 1st 1820 stopping off at Torbay before finally leaving England on 2nd Jan 1820. Just over ten weeks later and they arrived in Algoa Bay South Africa. They had encountered tropical storms, been shot at in the Cape Verdi Islands and generally had a pretty stressful time. It was only the beginning of several years of huge difficulties and hardships. In going to the strange, new and wild place that was Africa the Settlers were given a very unrealistic description of the life they would have on the Frontier. They expected some form of habitation and found a wilderness. It turned out to be a very tough existance. Settlers Lives Sarah and John Cadle:- She had 6 children by John, 3 before they left for South Africa and 2 after they settled and the last child was born after he died.. John Cadle was apparently a lover of horses and quickly built a race track, The Cadle Hill Races and he also became a Canteen Keeper. On October 1823, there was a terrible storm and many homes and properties were wrecked in the resulting flash flooding. John went out to inspect a road he was contracted to build. He was almost home but as he attempted to cross the now flooded river that flowed past their house, he was drowned, as Sarah and the children watched helpless. Sarah's daughter Mary Moore died within a few weeks of John and then Sarah discovered she expecting Johns 6th child After John's death Sarah found herself in desperate straits and when James Lance and his wife Elizabeth offered to adopt one of the children she accepted and it wasJohn Henry (junior) who live with them. he was about 4 year's old. .
