« on: Saturday 15 October 16 02:48 BST (UK) »
Eugene Boileau and his father were both head engravers at Colsons Foundry in Chiswell Street London and also at The Bank of England. Eugene's daughter Eugenie Catherine Boileau married John David Mayer (Count Rossi) the 2nd great nephew of Count Pellegrino Rossi who was assasinated at the Vatican in 1848. John and Eugenie came to Adelaide South Australia aboard the ship ""City of Adelaide in 1878""
I am yrt to discover Eugene's fathers name but have put out feelers with some Authors and publishers of historical printing books to seek that info.
