Hi

Another Michel details to check from Ancestry trees please.

Louis John married Alicia Bell on 21 October 1844 at St James Old Cathedral, Victoria, Australia

and he died 24 September 1904 at Carlton North, Melbourne, Australia.  He seems to appear in the Australian Dictionary of Biography as a gold discover.  I bet he felt pleased with himself, a number of his brothers back home were Tin workers!

I really appreciate this.

Thanks

Thank you cupolife, I've been reading the will, which is very interesting, it appears Louis had three granddaughters all called Alicia, as well as his wife and daughter.  Must have been confusing at Christmas!
