Biggs
Colonial life was very hard for some people, with disastrous effects (they died young). In John Bigg's case his passing when aged 33 was reported in the Geelong Chronicle 15 Nov 1862 with a Coroner's Inquest, which concludes with the sentence 'Deceased had a half-sleeping share in the Cosmopolitan Gold-Ming Company at Ballarat, some land in the Barrabool Hills and house and land at Ballarat. Deceased has a wife in the Yarra Bend Asylum.' The next paragraph in this newspaper column is headed 'Addresses of the Inspectors of Sheep', a reminder that at that time Australian conditions were also very difficult for sheep which suffered from diseases now controlled by various farming techniques including clipping their tails and giving regular sheep-dips to protect their feet and skin. John Biggs 1829 - 1862 aged 33, wed 1854 #3485 to Elizabeth Potter and lived at Ballarat. John was a Scot from St Andrews who jumped ship in 1851 and joined the Ballarat gold rush | ||
