  • Notes 
    • He Lived At Ballarat For About 40 Years, It Was Here, At The Time Of The Eureka Stockade Uprising That He Claimed To Have Heard The First Shot Of That Affair. His Occupation Was Given As A Miner /Farmer At That Time.

      He Later Moved To 29 Alexander St. Collingwood. We Believe That They Were Living Here, When John And Rachel Celebrated Their 60th 'Diamond" Wedding Anniversary At The Collingwood Town Hall In 1917.

      It Is Believed From Family Recollections, That One Of His Brothers Was To Go With The "Burke And Wills" Expedition, But Sickness Prevented This From Happening.
