John, George Howard

[Freya Ellingsen]

NFR =  “No further record”??

Ie perhaps he is recorded as a juror at an inquest on 5 March 1856, at Welcome Inn (E/HGly) and then no further record

Still not sure what 158 is, and still cannot find E/HGly.  East? Something?

Seeing he was a lawyer would that number ref to a court case he was in?

TROVE has reports of  inquests held in early March 1856, one at Back Creek on 7 March and one at the Welcome inn, Eagle Hawk (sic) on the 5th. No mention of the names of the jurors. I suspect this is the explanation for this part of the record. E/H = Eagle Hawk??

In the  Bendigo Advertiser, Sat 8 Mar 1856

Wondering how this reasonably obscure piece of information has come to be recorded.

I was just reading that too Jen 😀

So Eagle Hawk Gully perhaps.

158 must be the court case then

The marriage certificate, 1884.....is it a transcription....or......image of a handwritten document?

I think that John George HOWARD is a sawyer, not a lawyer.

Wivenhoe - I think you may well be right.

On looking at the inquest report, the doctor's autopsy uses the word 'spleen' a couple of times.  The account of John George's testimony gives his occupation as '-awyer' and the first letter is formed in much the same way as the first letter of 'spleen' which would mean that his occupation was, indeed, 'sawyer' not 'lawyer'.  There are a couple of capital 'L's in the record (eg surname of the witness Henrietta Llewellyn')which also look similar so very difficult to work out which is correct.  Henrietta Llewellyn states that she is the wife of a 'sawyer' or 'lawyer' and there is a slight difference in the capital L of her surname compared to the first letter of her husband's occupation.

However, it would be interesting to see how his occupation looks as written on the son's marriage certificate.

It would also seem to me to be more likely that he would be a sawyer than a professional man, but that is purely an opinion.
