Governor of Van Diemen's Land 'from 1816 until May 1824, and Louisa Matilda (Cox), who was separated from her husband in 1807 and remained in England with their seven children. Young Sorell arrived in Hobart to see his father on 27 December 1823 and then stayed at Government House until his father's departure in May 1824. Shortly afterwards Sorell, with his friend William Fletcher, leased a house in New Town. In 1825 Sorell met Elizabeth Julia Kemp (daughter of Anthony Fenn Kemp) whom he married in September 1825 at St David's Cathedral.
