sketcher, was in South Australia by 1856 when he made a pencil drawing, The Residence of E. Castle Esq. Hackham, Morphett Vale (Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide). The artist was probably William, the son of William and Martha Acraman, who was born in Bridgewater, Somerset on 24 October 1824 and had come to South Australia in 1845 aboard the Isabella Watson . William Acraman worked as a watchmaker, married Carolyn, née Odgers, on 8 August 1861, and died on 1 May 1910. The Miss Acraman who showed a view of Lake Maggiore in the first exhibition of the South Australian Society of Arts at Adelaide in 1857 was presumably a relative.
