Australia / Re: Radcliffe Wild - Victoria?
« on: Thursday 01 September 11 06:12 BST (UK) »
Hi Gerry - That's a great help! Radcliffe must have gone to Zeehan for the silver mining rush, which I've just read started in 1882. He may later have changed jobs and become a railway engine driver. I think the newspaper death notice is about him, although I'm not sure about the cricket item, as that lists only last names, and Launceston was pretty far away from Zeehan. Now I'm going to read up on Tasmania! (And save up for an expensive death certificate!)
Hi again Jenn - On checking out the Wilds you mentioned, they seem to have emigrated to Australia in 1882. They came from a town in Lancashire not too far from Radcliffe's, so it's possible they could have been related. I'll have to look into that.
Many thanks to everyone.
