Foley Family Notes

Henry Gilbert Foley, died on 4th
June 1867, and was buried at Crinoline Reef, Connelly’s Creek. There is the
story told that the family had to make his coffin because there was no
undertaker in the area. |
|
Thomas James and Elizabeth
were married in Victoria
and joined the gold rush to Walhalla. Patrick worked in the Long Tunnel Mine at
one stage and met with an accident: a rope broke causing a fall that
both of his legs. He was put into a dray and taken to Toongabbie, then he was
taken to Melbourne. He claimed compensation from the Mining Company and won his
case on the day Ned Kelly was hung. |
