• Notes

  Alfred Douglass departed England in 1834, aged 14 and travelled by himself on the barque "Wave" (Capt. Goldsmith) departed London 9 Nov 1834 and arrived in Hobart 9 March 1835. Alfred resided with half-brother Charles Thomas "Woolly" SMITH (d.1856- Hobart, Tasmania) and family in Hobart working in CT Smith's wool broking for AUPounds 40/year for about 8 years. He then moved to Geelong in Victoria where he set up his own wool broking and processing firm. He is credited with the first wool sales in Victoria's history. Websters still exists today and is one of the most reputable firms in its sector in Tasmania today.
