Thanks Gerry for the info.
I cant imagine who Harry Heyme was in 1868. But if he was a miner there is a good chance he's another Cornish cousin.

One thing that is becoming increasingly apparent as I research the Heyme family and their cousins (the Hockings and Cragos) is how the cornish contingent tended stick together whether in London or Australia.

I think the Cornish were viewed almost as foreigners by the English/Australians, a bit like the Irish, although not treated as badly as the Irish.

PROV has this will: (oops, already noted by CupofLife)
Harry HEYME, labourer of Tooradin, died 5 May, 1889

I can't get it to load at present though.

It seems he moved around a bit though as the residence places given for him in the Qld probate notice found by Aussie are Melbourne and Drumanure which is 219 k (135 miles) north of Melbourne while the PROV listing gives his place of residence as Tooradin which is 65k (40 miles) east of Melbourne.

Thankyou for all the fascinating information. Over the past few days I have come familiar with remote locations in Victoria that I had previously never heard of.

It appears that Harry Heyme had spent time at Drumanure because his brother William John Heyme farmed 160 acres there. Why he relocated prior to his death is anbodys guess.

I am very intrigued as to the identity of the Harry Heyme who was a miner at Newbury in 1868 that Gerry has unearthed. Perhaps this was Harrys uncle William Henry Heyme who was recorded as living in Gweek Cornwall in the 1851 census. But apprently dissapears off the face of the planet during the 1850s???

If so it would perhaps explain why  3 of the Heyne brothers  made the move to Australia.
