Notes |
- Joseph listed his occupation as farmer and residence as "Laburnum Bank"
Joseph Forbes was on the Tiaro Shire Council, actually one of the very first members. Joseph died of injuries at the Maryborough Hospital in 1917 after an accident when he crashed his sulky, near the Tiaro cemetery, the year after Margaret died. They had 4 sons and 3 daughters.
Also I think the family first settled in Maryborough. Although Tiaro was surveyed in 1864 there was no town and really was no one there till the Gympie gold rush in 1867.
Maryborough was declared a port of entry in 1859 so it's likely they landed there rather than Moreton Bay.
