Hi Marie,
Thankyou for your response, I'm excited by what you say and my friend Judy will be quite surprised by the contents of it. She is a great granddaughter of WJBC. She is the granddaughter of WJBC's youngest daughter Isabella Harriet (1893-1986) who married Cuthbert Griffin. Their four children are
1.   Ann Sealy b. 1925 married Brian Walter Bourke and had eleven children,
2.   Patricia Warburton b. 1929 married Edgar Dowse and had two children- Judith (Judy) who is the friend wanting to know where he is and her younger sister Frances (Frankie) Judy has a son Bryan who has two little girls.
3.   Jill b.1933 m. Ross Donaldson-Smith and they have four children, Ann, John, Alexander and Fiona.
4.   Sam Griffin b. 1939 m. Valerie Sharp 4 children- Leanne, Sandra, Kenneth and Sonya and I think Sam lives in Darwin.

Judy one day showed me a book written by her Aunt Ann and I recognised one of the names in it (WJBC's) as being in a book I already had so that was where this all started.

From what I've got the person who arrived in Melbourne on the ship "The Great Britain" was not WJBC but Margaret Anne Cameron, mother of John and Elizabeth etc who married WJBC and it was John who called WJBC "The Wild Irishman".
Ciao for now

hello Marie c,
I'm a friend of a WJBC descendant and doing a little digging on the man myself. Our mission is to find where he is actually buried without driving thousands of kilometres through two states! WJBC got around when he was alive and still seems to be hopping about nearly a century after his death- have three accounts from 3 granddaughters as to the location and one from someone else and they cover a block of a few hundred kilometres!!!
I think I have seen something on his arrival but need to sift for it. Email address removed by moderator if you want to send an email I should have something for you in a day or two.
Which branch of the family tree do you sprout from?
cheers
anne
