Over a 10-year period three siblings arrived in Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) from England: Charles, Bayley and Harriet Bull. Camouflaging their humble roots they adopted the surname of Bayley, their mother's maiden name and one associated with several prominent shipbuilders from coastal Suffolk and Essex where they had been born and raised. The first to arrive was Charles Bayley (1813-1875) who began work as a mariner in his teens. In 1839 at the age of 26 he was appointed captain of the whaling barque Wallaby. Charles spent the next 23 years involved in this industry, in the process becoming one of Hobart Town's wealthy whalers and shipowners. This prosperity transferred to his brother Bayley Bull (1823-1894) who arrived in Hobart Town from London in 1843. Capitalising on his older brother's resources and reputation, and assuming the name of James Bayley, he also became involved in the whaling industry and maritime trade, countering their inherent risks to further the family's success.
