In 1836 a family of seven people, William and Ann Grayling, their married son, William Major Grayling and his wife Ann, and their unmarried children, Richard, Sarah Ann and Anne Sophie arrived in Launceston aboard the vessel Amelia Thompson from London.
The family subsequently moved to Melbourne where they were later joined by several of their relatives.
Many descendants of this immigrant family are scattered throughout Australia, New Zealand and the United States, while the descendants of those who remained behind are still to be found in the south of England.

The logo chosen for the site is Richard Grayling's scissors. Richard was a tailor in London, Launceston and later Melbourne. Richard was born in 1812 and died in 1869.
