The 6 children were put in an orphanage and were returned to Lewis when in 1872 he remarried to (2) MARY SHEPHERD who had two children from a previous relationship - Lucy Shepherd 9Y and Albert Shepherd 6Y.

16 Feb 1873 The family immigrated to Queensland Australia per "John Rennie",   leaving Plymouth Nov 12, 1872 and arrived Bowen, Qld, Aust in 1873.The manifest of the ship they came to Australia shows the names of Lewis Humphreys aged 33 (he contiued to use the different spelling in Aust) Mary Humphreys aged 30; Thomas 12Y; Vashti 10Y (making her birth date 1861/62) Albert aged 8; James aged 6; Mary Humphreys aged 4 and Ann Humphreys aged 1.

16 Feb 1873 Report: "John Rennie" sailed from Plymouth with emigrants for Port Denison, Captain Nicholson ; G. Raff and Co., agents and arrived from London yesterday evening. Eight children died from measles during the passage, otherwise all on board are well.

The "Young Australian" arr. with immigrants from Bowen, by the John Rennie, from London (says the Mackay Mercury of March 8 1873), arrived off this port on Saturday morning, but was unable to come up the river. She landed all her passsengers by boat, the last being put ashore on Sunday evening. They are a fine strong looking body of men, and likely to prove far better colonists than the Danes. It is only to be hoped that the Agent-General will continue sending out a like class of immigrants to these in place of such as have arrived lately, apparently of no use as servants or laborers. When we are paying a large yearly sum for assisting immigration to this colony, we have a right to demand that we should be supplied with a useful class of laborers, and those likely to prove of benefit to this colony. The Young Australian landed, including thirty seven children, ninety eight immigrants, and all the new arrival except two or three married couples have readily met with engagements. Considerable disappointment is felt by employers who were prepared to engage single women, but it seems, according to what has been stated to us by the local immigration agent, that none of these required servants were portioned off for this place in consequence of their being, with one exception, all engaged in Bowen; so female domestics, not withstanding high rate of wages and ready employment offering, are still greatly in demand as heretofore.

Apr 1873 The "Northern Argus" is of opinion that the way in which our Emigration Department shows us "the way not to do it," was strikingly illustrated by their making Bowen the port of destination for the John Ronnie and her 400 immigrants, out of which number about twenty were required by the labor market, and the remainder had to be shipped at a heavy expense to Townsville, Cardwell, and Mackay where they were instantly absorbed. As there were not steamers at Bowen to transport the surplus immigrants to other markets, sailing craft had to be subsidised for the purpose, and having the field to themselves, of course made their own terms, which our readers must be perfectly satisfied, the country has to pay pretty smartly for. This little, though costly bit of patronage, reflects anything but creditably on the department, the head of which ought to have been acquainted with the probable requirements of the Bowen labor market, the state of which has been well known for years past, long before the John Rennie was despatched. The idea of sending a vessel with 400 immigrants to a place which is all but deserted, a fact that ought to have been made known to our Agent General, is somewhat novel, and beyond all comment. We by no means grudge our Bowen neighbors, that is the few left of them,Fix this text what they need in the way of immigrants, only we submit that it is the acme of folly to glut Bowen and leave Rockhampton to starve, in which latter place neither man, woman, nor cbild, can be hired, for love or money, for months past. Where, too, we ask, was the necessity for passing Keppel Bay, or the difficulty of drafting off a supply suitable for Bowen, whose wants could easily have been ascertained by telegram, and thus have saved the Government the extra expense incurred by having to charter vessels to take the surplus immigrants elsewhere. Had the Government taken the most ordinary, and, we submit, the proper precautions, such a waste of public money could not have occurred.
