## Timeline
- 14 OCT 1841 — **Born** at Clarence River, New South Wales, Australia — The first of the family born on the Clarence River, where his father had been assigned and where he settled. He is NOT in the NSW birth index under these parents — nor is his sister Eliza Florence, born on the Clarence in 1843.
- 16 NOV 1910 — **Died** — Buried at Tuncurry, New South Wales, on 17 November 1910, the day after his death, according to a compiled family history. NOT CONFIRMED, and he is the only one of the eleven children missing from both complete sweeps: the NSW birth index has no row under these parents 1829-1856, and a death sweep on father JOHN or JOHN A with mother CHARLOTTE, 1856-1935, returns his brothers John, Robert Henry, Charles, Richard and George Henry but not him. An unfiltered search offers 15512/1910 at Stroud, the right year and the adjoining district, but it names the father WILLIAM and is not accepted — possibly his own son. (Tuncurry is not yet a place in this tree.)
