wow! 
I looked at Emily Wise' death and thought 'hm' 1952 thats not that long ago!  I forget that I'm now living in 2007 soon to be 8!   Anyone know that feeling?

Well Dee you've given me enough to keep me occupied all day.  I am delighted you have found so much - we may even come across a living relative!

I thank all of you on this board and everyone on RC for their help over the past year and wish you all a very

Thanks Abiam.     

If you go to
http://www.pictureaustralia.org/
and put the names of some of the places such as Yankalilla into the search engine, or Dashwood etc, you may find pictures from the 1800s and early 1900s that are in the South Australian Australiana Collection. Each little picture is a link.

It might give you an idea of where John Wise lived. And there is a picture of George Frederick Dashwood.

Just started looking at your link and there is Captain Field's house.  Now we know it was a building not a field!

  Abiam!

John Wise's death was listed in the Government Gazette in 1854.

He also appears in the Cemetery Index of the South Australian Genealogy Society. I've made a note of it on my list of things to check next time I get to visit the library.....could be a while though.

There's a death listed in the newspaper notices for an Annie Kennedy nee Wise for 1987. I've added that to the list to try to check as well. With luck it could have some children's names on it.
