From Cellardyke to Australian Gold Diggings
« on: Saturday 04 April 09 23:52 UTC (UK) »
In 1852, sixteen men from Cellardyke are reported to have set out to dig for gold in Australia.  Does anyone have information about what happened to them?

Thet were Thomas Watson, David Rodger, David Murray, David Birrell, David Brown, John Smith, James Cunningham, Leslie Barclay, George and Alexander Fowler, James Davidson, David Wilson, William Doig, Alexander Melville, William Black and James Sharp.

My Smith's came from Cellardyke and would be very interested in the John Smith ..  will have to look at Victorian CD's to see if he is there.
