Deb D's Scavenger Hunt...Everyone Welcome To Join In.

Further to the success of this Scavenger Hunt - and with huuuuuuuuuge appreciation to everyone who contributed - ...

It appears that "English Jack" Tatham died in or near Laramie City in early 1884, aged only 28.  The information was found amongst the Laramie City newspaper reports that RC-er Lisa put me onto, a little while ago.  One of the Librarians was going to get back to me if she found out any more, but I haven't heard anything as yet. 

I'd love to find out what caused his demise, even though I realise that's probably a bit morbid.  However, we have got a half-successful Scavenger Hunt!  Now .... if only we could find DJT's nuisance of a father!

Thanks again, everyone!

Well, it's taken quite a while, ... but my esteemed fifth cousin Denise has finally managed to track down the prodigal Duncan Dunbar Tatham (whom we nicknamed DDT, seeing as he's proven to be almost as much trouble as the insecticide!).

After much diligent searching, Denise has discovered that DDT ("of Ambagamawa") died in 1863, and was buried on the 15th November, 1863, in St Paul's Church, in Kandy, Sri Lanka!  More information is, hopefully, on its way - so there might be further news.  I'm rapt - can you tell?!

Cheers
