Re: John Quayle
In Response To: Re: John Quayle ()

As John appears to have joined the gold rush to Otago (occupation miner in his will), that wouldn't mean that he had deserted his family. - He probably hoped to make his fortune. Central Otago had a string of goldfields with men pegging claims beside their large rivers from the 1860s onwards.
