| Notes for John (Spouse 1) | ||||||||||||||
| Lived married life at Bothwell and Summerleas, both in Tasmania, Australia. Groom, Campbell Street, Hobart, Tasmania, September 1865. Labourer, Bothwell, Tasmania, October 1877. Death notice states he was a labourer and died of pneumonia. He died at the Royal Hobart Hospital, Hobart, Tasmania. He was born in England. He was aged 64 years. From Ailsa Herbert, February 1999 <aherbert@tassie.net.au>: “As fas as I know Summerleas, the bit of scrub [and the dreadful road named after it] joining two beautiful bits of south Tassie, was once crown land. The ‘powers that be’ in their infinite wisdom at some time back in the dim past decided that the area would make a great town. Surveys wre done and streets were marked out. Lack of money, people wanting to live there, who know why it was a great flop. You may be able to find out more from the ABC Archives. I believe that some years ago Chris Waterhouse did a program on the area.” May be a convict by the name of John LEVETT, born in Lewes, Sussex, England in 1821.
