That 57 Phillip Street address looked familiar.  I've seen a reference to it in a thread which indicates that in December 1900 it was the Independent Presbyterian Church.  J

Thanks Sue, another important datum for the timeline.  Wouldn't it be good if there were descendants out there to share this with!

Correct surname but probably wrong person.

Colonial Office List 1863
Mauritius
Gaols
Clerk, T. Carolus.

Colonial Office List 1870
Mauritius
Police Department
Clerk, T. Carolus.

Gerry

I agree Gerry,
If the age on immigration is correct, 28, then he would be too young for the above job.

Yes, I agree about that 28 year old immigrant being too young to hold down the Mauritius position.  Family member?  Maybe Carolus in Mauritius is like Smith here?

Yes, if he came from Melbourne to Sydney, it's also possible he moved back there.  I'm told that one of the Sydney universities has paperwork relating to businesses in Sydney - will have to see if I can track that down as it may give an indication how long he was in the matrimonial business in Sydney.  Will print out this thread later, extract the information and put it into sequence/context - I'm away from home at the moment so a bit limited with what I can do.  It just occurred to me that the "Thomas" in an earlier post could just be a clerical misrepresentation of Theophilus.
