He didn’t last long in WA having travelled from Westland NZ Goldfields with his family in Nov/Dec 1894. Although this would have been very hard on the remaining family of seven, they managed to survive via a range of activities including mining (Southern Cross, Edjudina, Mount Magnet), Boardinghouse Management on Golden Gate Mining Leases, Running Goldfields Wine Saloon etc.

Thomas was born Cornwall 1828, went to Victorian Goldfields 1885 then to NZ late 1860’s. Married Annie Watkins in Hokitika 1871, mined at Ross (German Gully) till 1880 then Kumara until migration to Coolgardie Goldfields.

Staggering really, and how life has changed in a relatively short period of time!!
