James Foote (1829 - 1895) was a politician in Queensland, Australia. He was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly and a mayor of the Borough of Ipswich. ==Early life== James Foote was born on 2 March 1829 in either Frampton Cotterell, Gloucestershire, England or in Calne, Wiltshire, England, the son of Joseph Foote (a hat maker) and his wife Elizabeth (née Clarke).〔〔 In January 1848, his father Joseph emigrated to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) as an agent of the Van Dieman's Land Colonial Mission Society and was appointed the resident Independent minister at Richmond within a few weeks of his arrival. Unfortunately, on 10 September 1848 Joseph died after being seized with an apoplectic fit while preaching the divine service. He immigrated with his mother, three sisters, his brother John Clarke Foote and his sister-in-law on the ''Emigrant'' arriving in Moreton Bay on 12 August 1850. During the voyage, there was an outbreak of typhus and around 20 people died. The ship on arrival in Moreton Bay was placed under quarantine, and was not brought into Brisbane until 28 September 1850. On 21 July 1863, James Foote married Catherine Keith (née Cramb), the widow of James Keith, at Clydebank Cottage, Petrie Terrace, Brisbane. After some time, he established a grocery business in Ipswich to which he later added ironmongery.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.bdm.qld.gov.au/IndexSearch/querySubmit.m?ReportName=MarriageSearch )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Foote」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
