It was only early this year I discovered that GGgrandparents Archibald Craig and wife Louisa were (innocently) in partnership with Frank Gardiner at Apis Creek. Seems they did not know his true identity. Archibald had the hotel licence and Christie/Gardiner owned the general store.
I can only assume that as our family thought they were associated with the more upper classes with landholdings, any association with bushrangers was never to be mentioned.
Archibald was arrested but soon released. He died of a fever at Apis Creek in 1868. Louisa and 3 children born there returned to her parents at Penola, SA.
