      -----------------------------
      Margaret appeared to be based in Brighton (UK) about 100 years ago, whilst Harrie and his two older brothers, and youngest Charles spent time doing geographical and geological work in what was then the Belgian Congo (now Zaire of course) - mapping large tracts of the country. I am assuming Harrie and Maggie's girls probably went to school in Brighton, and I hope to come across some info on this.
      Rosemary - 2009 - rosemary-at-bbvhovercraft.co.uk

      He went with his parents and two older brothers and a sister, to live at Echo Hills, near Springsure Queensland. After his father's death in 1882, Harrie went to Western Australia. Harrie spent some time in hospital in Kalgoorlie, dangerously ill with typhoid fever which was raging at that time. At that time his cousin Ed Holmes was working with him and carried on the business for him while he was in hospital.
