Hi Kris,
There is a small mention in the Bisa for James Joseph WARD and that does have his death as 1941.
James father Peter was born in SA and James grandparents Thomas & Bridget WARD came from MOG IRE  lived in the Pinda, Hammond area.

All fits, thanks for your help,
Sashar

Hi Elsie

The Thomas Quirk of Blinman (mentioned in previous posts), son of Timothy Quirk, is listed in the Port Augusta Hospital Index as being from Hammond, but a laborer of Blinman, when he died at the Pt Augusta Hospital 4th or 5th (it says 5th) November 1890, having been admitted on 31 October. Delia/Adelia, his daughter, aged 13 months, died in Blinman on 4 November (as noted in an earlier post). The hospital index also has the mother, Elizabeth Quirk, age 26, admitted on the 6 November with bronchitis; also Catherine Quirk, age 5, her daughter, on 6 November with whooping cough; also Ellen Quirk, age 3, daughter of same, on 6 November with whooping cough.

Other mentions of the Quirks (from my research at State Records SA): A man by the name of Quirke applied (through an agent) for a permit to strip wattle bark on the Wilpena Run in 1886; the letter hasn't survived - only the index entry. And a T Quirke applied in May 1888 for a permit for an Accommodation House at Perawillia Gap (NE of Hawker). And a T Quirke applied on 31 October 1888 for permission to remove the Wilpena Eating House to land he leased in the Hundred of Carr (ie in or near Blinman). Wilpena lessee, HS Price, objected in November 1888 to T Quirke removing the Eating House from near Wilpena Homestead.
