Everardus Johannes Bödeker, geboren Groningen 10 augustus 1823, overleden na 1853, zoon van Johannes Bödeker en Anna Lucretia van Vliet.
In 1853 gezagvoerder op het barkschrip Luconia. Dit schip vertrok uit Engeland naar Australie en kwam daar in 1854 aan. Tijdenms deze reis is een en ander voorgevallen hetgeen hierna is beschreven.:
John Crane Nottage (born 1/3/1821), married Harriet Aslett (born 10/10/1823) in the District of Newington, Kent, England on 4/6/1848. John Crane Nottage trained as an architect before he and his wife, Harriet left England with their two surviving children, Catherine Annie and Robert August James Maskall on board the ship "Luconia".
Before reaching Australia, Harriet gave birth to a son and he was named after the Captain of the ship, namely Captain Everhardus J Bodeker. They called their new son, 'Captain' John Bodeker Nottage. 'Captain' John Bodeker Nottage was born at Latitude 39 degrees, 44' South, Longitude 73 degrees, 20' East on Wednesday, 3/5/1854 at 9.30am.
The ship arrived on 22/5/1854 at Port Adelaide, South Australia instead of Port Melbourne, Victoria as intended because a serious illness had developed in the family during the voyage and help was available through a close relative, name of James Maskall Nottage, who was a cousin of John Crane Nottage, who had arrived in South Australia on 19/3/1840 on the barque "City of London".
The child of John Crane Nottage and Harriet who was sick on board ship was Robert August James Maskall Nottage (born 17/12/1851), who died on 30/8/1854, 3 months after the family arrived in South Australia and is buried in the Walkerville Cemetery, South Australia.
John [also known as Jack] married late in life to a Letitia MacIntosh. They lived in Newbridge, Victoria, Australia and he owned a little grocery shop in Clifton Hill. 'Jack' died on 3/5/1919.
