Meet the Rellies

We took a trip down the Beechworth cemetery to meet some of the rellies. Alfred Darvall was Toby’s great, great grandfather’s (WHC Darvall – a solicitor and the first Town Clerk of Beechworth) cousin – first prize to the first reader who can tell us what that is?

Alfred came out from Reading, England (where a lot of Darvalls ended up) at WHC Darvall’s urging. He mined the local area for a few years and is believed to have died from typhoid which was common on the goldfields at this time.

The local Burke Museum has a lot of great historical and genealogical information.

Love from the Historians
