Hi Alijet,

I've just spotted this post.   

I have the the Rumbelows and Watsons in my tree.  The Rumbelows in particular were a well known family in Victor Harbour.  I have photos of Mahalia and Robert Bolger and others of the Rumbelow family.  Also of the original Rumbelow family home at Victor Harbor.  More than happy to share this with you.   

Cheers, Chris.

Cheers, Chris

Hi there me again ,

Cain Jelliff - who is he? The Rumbelow's offspring must of thought very highly of him as he keeps cropping up in their history. I typed his name on the internet but apart from Grave Secrets, nothing to show. Is he important in the role of founding the modern Australia? Any ideas, just curious?

Regards

Alison

Hi again,
Cain Jeliff was married to Alice Rumbelow.  He was a sailor and ran a very successful fishing business with his brother in law Malen Rumbelow.  Cain Jeliff drowned when he tripped and fell overboard during a storm at sea near the Murray mouth on 2nd January 1877.  He is buried at Victor Harbour Cemetery.

He also helped to organised the first Regatta and Water Sports at Victor Harbour on New Year's Day 1869.

Cheers, Chris

Thanks Christobel,

Realised he was married to Alice, but nice to have some info. around him. They are a very interesting family both in Suffolk and Australia. I think I could write a TV series around them all.

Thanks again

The 'Southern Argus'  has an obituary for Cain Jeliff.  I don't have all of it but in part it describes him as quiet and inoffensive and "in the domestic relations of husband & wife perhaps there was no happier pair amongst us, therefore the grief of the bereaved wife is very great".

Cheers, Chris

Hi Chris,

I am slowly working my way through all this info. very absorbing. I'm sure I will be asking more questions, hope you don't mind.
