... Thomas Blackley, of Montalbion, storekeeper ...

I can't find a death that fits.

I have births at that place for several Blackley from my tree but can't fit that Thomas.

STARTING BUSINESS.-Mr Thomas Blackley, who has been for many years past in the charge of Messrs Jack and Newell's establishment at Watsonville, has now decided to launch out on his own account, and intends opening a general store at Atherton. We hope that Mr Blackley's venture will meet with the success it merits.

My great grandparents.

This can't fit for that 1900 probate, being a death in Brisbane.

That's my great grandfather.

No doubt about that one, gibbo.

Mrs J. Hamilton is my grandmother.

I'm planning to go to Atherton in June.

Many years ago we had a week in Atherton and loved it. The kids had a ball. Took them to Crystal Caves in the main street of Atherton and was well worth the visit. The cave is man made but done well. I think you would enjoy it.

Thanks gibbo.

The tour with the same company I went to Batemans Bay with includes Cairns and Kuranda.

So thats not the Thomas you were looking for?

 

[DaveHam9]

I can account for the 1917 and 1943 deaths with no doubt they are my family.

I can't find any more on the Thomas with probate in 1900.

I can't see how he could fit but trying to find any details of another ? Blackley family in Mont Albion ?

 

[DaveHam9]

"thomas blackley" AND "montalbion"

Finds nothing new.

 

[DaveHam9]

I can find nothing before the 1900 probate notice.

The only hit in Trove is the marriage of my Thomas.

Cairns Post (Qld.) - Wed 20 Nov 1889 p.2
Marriage.
BLACKLEY - WRIEDE.-On November 6th, 1889, at St. John's Church, Cairns, by the Rev. Thomas R. Regg, Thomas Blackley, of Herberton, to Emma Friedericka Wriede, eldest daughter of George Y. H. Wriede, Cairns.
