Davenport's father selected land in South Australia in 1839.[3] Uncle (Robert Davenport) settled in South Australia. Francis returned to England in 1841, and was accompanied by another uncle, Samuel Davenport, in 1843 on the return to South Australia. Francis died soon after arriving, and Robert and Samuel settled on the estate. George followed his uncles to South Australia soon after leaving school. After a few years he went to live in Melbourne.
