Found at last! William Henry Jewell b 1870 Combe Martin, Devon was the brother of my great grandmother Elizabeth Jewell. William Henry emigrated to Australia from Plymouth to Melbourne in 1897 and went to live in Charters Towers, Queensland where his brother Thomas Jewell had previously emigrated in 1892. Both Thomas and William Henry were experienced miners. William Henry married Lydia Emily Wakeham in 1897 and they had 3 children.
Elsie May b 18 Aug 1899 Charters Towers, Queensland
Beatrice Ruth b 28 Aug 1901 Charters Towers, Queensland
Elizabeth Maud b 6 Oct 1905 Charters Towers, Queensland
I believe all three children were married.
I have established all the English ancestry of William Henry Jewell prior to his emigration and would like to contact any Australian descendants - my cousins.
