Hello everyone,

Just to let you know the latest on our saga!

Having sent emails to anyone I could think of and with much help from RC - it has paid off!  I was left with wanting to know why he died at 40 and now I know....

John Wise owned land and cattle.  He was thrown from his galloping horse whilst mustering cattle near Tonkalilla Beach and severely injured.  ( there are so many spellings of this name).  A companion ( a Mr Tonkin) got him to the whaling station at Encounter Bay where he died.  I assume that must have been by horse and cart which can't have helped.

I now have a photo of John's second son Arthur and his widow Anne's 2nd husband and more about her life.

About 2 weeks ago we didn't even know he went to Australia! 

Thanks to everyone once again for your help,
Abiam

That's terrific, Abiam! The spelling is now Tunkalilla. The hillsides around there can be very steep......

So glad you have had so much success....
