The Common Room / "Was Thomas Bolitho a gold miner in Sandhurst Australia?".
« on: Wednesday 17 April 24 15:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi all . I have a query about the Husband of my 1st Cousin 5 x rem(a long way off i know)

Thomas Bolitho b 1848 St Just Cornwall was the Husband of Catherine Bolitho . I have limited records for them both and was hoping someone may be able to help?.

The couple emigrated to Sandhurst in Victoria Australia about 1870 where they Married. Thomas's Father had recently died and they probably wanted a new start .

It struck me that Sandhurst was a gold mining Town! and I wish to know if Thomas was a gold miner there in long gully area??

Thank you and hopefully I may get some answers .
