Specific article on Azzopardi
[edit]Please consider bringing back the article specifically on Azzopardi. His claim to "fame" is not only based on being in the historic photographic montage of the early settlers of Victoria but in being the first free Maltese emigrant to Australia.

Azzopardi is not the first free Maltese settler to Australia. We can be confident that Charles Jacob has the honour of being the first — even though his surname is not Maltese — because he arrived at Fremantle in 1831. The history of a Western Australian pioneer family “The Duffield’s of Bicton, 1776-1974" describes Jacob in a number of sections as a Maltese servant. To quote: “Charlotte and the children brought with them their Maltese servant, Charles Jacob. They sailed from London on the barque Egyptian (359), William Lilburn being the Master of the vessel, and arrived at Fremantle 28 December 1831 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacob Calleja (talk • contribs) 04:52, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
