Scroll down to read an article about the squattocracy who saw themselves as members of the aristocracy.

I think they had enough money to employ managers while they were on their overseas jaunts.

This article explains the use of the term squatter in Australia in the 1800s

It also explains the family's apparent wealth in being able to afford to travel to and from England.

Well, who knows what makes a visit awful!

Or for whom it was.

Yes, wishing them the best in their hopefully ongoing chats. ;D

Yes, I took it to mean that the visit was awful for Maxidog.
Hopefully they will be able to DM. I also wish them all the best.

Welcome to Rootschat.
I hope Maxidog reads this. The last time she was online with Rootschat was June 2025.
If she hasn't changed her email address, or turned off notifications, she should get an email saying there was a reply on this post.

I think it is the age of the deceased person. This is used when mothers name is not known.
The old indexes used to use the word age before the number for  example  age 73. This was instead of the 3 numbers now used.

Losing an arm usually made the newspapers.
Search Trove using the state/ area he lived in to see what you can find out.

I want to know where people got the notion that Christina had committed suicide? Where did it come from?
The original poster said in her first post on this thread, that it was a family story handed down. They were looking for evidence.
The reply #3 is a link to the inquest findings showing death by suicide.

Do you have other information contradicting this?
