In 1872 John Newell arrived at Brisbane in the 'Gauntlet' to join an elder brother in mining at Stanthorpe.
Cairns Post (Qld.) - Tue 12 Jun 1917 p.4
IN MEMORIAM.
NEWELL.-In ever loving memory of my dearly beloved husband, James Newell, who died at his residence, "Listooder," Mabel St., Atherton, March 22nd, 1917.
I can't see a marriage in Qld. for James.
I presume James is the elder brother who arrived before 1872.
John NEWELL . Kilmore b. 30 Nov 1852 in The Hollows, Listooder; brother of James, Thomas, Eliza, Sarah & Mary Anne; attended Kilmore Presbyterian Church; emigrated in 1872 to Queensland, Australia & became wealthy.
Thanks,
Dave
