PREEO - James Henry. What was his fate?
« on: Tuesday 30 April 13 00:23 BST (UK) »
James Henry Priaulx was born 1864 in Guernsey, Channnel Islands. He immigrated to NSW in 1882. He spent his early years in the northern rivers (Lismore, Casino, Broadwater) and northern tablelands (Armidale to Murrurrundi), marrying Sarah Ruth Elizabeth Gimbert at Uralla in 1887 as James Henry Preeo, the phonetic spelling of Priaulx.
They moved to back to the Lismore area around 1885 and to Surry Hills 1890s and Newtown around 1900. Evidently he had a hard and disappointing life.
James had a warrant issued against him for wife desertion in 1916, the last record I can find on him. I realise that he is probably buried under an assumed name or in a paupers grave, however I would like to get closure on this.
Any assistance on finding out what became of him, or what may have become of him, would be welcome.

His parents names may help in finding them if you have them?

Have checked out Trove, and can only find two significant articles re Preeo.
The first has to do with a robbery at his? shop
Clarence and Richmond Examiner
Saturday 24 October 1891
Possibly having a shop at Broadwater, Richmond Valley
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/61240847?searchTerm=James Henry Preeo&searchLimits=

The Sydney Morning Herald
Monday 13 May 1940
Death of wife Sarah
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/17674895?searchTerm=James Henry Preeo&searchLimits=

The only Preeo on Ryerson was for 1996

Nothing else I can find at the moment.

Hope this is of some help

Oh well ::)

The death of his 2nd wife Ellen is noted as well in country Qld.

Try again, if it's too good to be true, then it probably is ??? Thanks Essie, no good going off at a tangent. 8)
