Hi Deanne,

Mentioned this way back in the thread and I agree not the Coorong 42 mile creek but definitely in Australia.


Cheers

Sorry Cando. obviously missed that bit amongst all the discussion 
I know it is definitely not Coorong as my family come from down there. 
As you and others have discussed though there are many 42 Mile Creeks, Crossings and Camps so it could be anywhere.

had a little fun in photoshop and decided to put them into what I think could be a family group, ie ma, pa etc.  Son no. 2 could just as easily be a grand son.
I am sure others may disagree 

also think the pic was taken about mid to late 1870's, as I think there is a slight bustle thing going on with the dresses, but could be wrong

Hi Helen,
I have paraphrased a reply I received from a descendant of Elizabeth Wheeler/Harris my own line is through Elizabeth's brother James who was also a silversmith in the Barnard firm. titania- @- aanet- . -com .- au

"Samuel James Harris and his wife Harriet (nee Barnard) had 12/14 children
and of these:
Samuel - was a gold and silversmith in Hatton Garden, London. His wife used
to come home drunk and batter him, he left her to live with someone called
Milly . This must be either a sister of
Samuel or possibly a wife of one of Samuel's brothers! He made two small silver thimbles which he probably made while working for Barnard and sons
Charles - had 2 daughters Elsie and May. May had a son called Colin who went
to Australia.
Edith - married an Alf Ingle and emigrated to New Zealand. They had 5
daughters Flossie, VI, Winnie, Chrissie and Ivy. Vi married someone called
Jack who was the son of Hollywood star John Bunny. When Ivy died, her
husband married her sister Chrissie.
Charlotte - married someone with the surname MacDonald, there were no
children.
Harriet - had a son called Arthur, he went to Australia. Her daughter Carry
married a sailor and she mysteriously disappeared and was never found,
her husband on his deathbed confessed to murdering her and putting her body
in a geyser (in New Zealand presumably).
Edward - married Alice and had 2 children Edward and Ethel.

Samuel James Harris had a brother who went to Africa or India and was mauled
to death by either a lion or tiger. This brother was also twisted out of his
estate by his manager.

The Barnards went to South Africa and worked in the gold mines, there
may be a link with gold and silversmiths. I also have some photos of the
Barnards."
 Do you have any pictures of either the Harris or Barnard families regards Sue

hi all

I think the tall man by the cow has just delivered it to the family in this photo
also the pony in the photo looks to have its winter coat which would indicate
cool weather . and the saddle looks to be a GP saddle commonly use in Australia
the dress dose sort of indicate the 1880 8)s
the dress of the tall man is typical of how my ancestors dressed  in this country
it looks to be in Australia . Good luck with your quest
This is one great photo .

cheers  chuter
