Thank you to Peter,Denise,Tom&Libby&Jeanine for you informative answers to my query. As Peter suggested a few more details on Thomas Rosewarne might help, I have the following details to offer. Thomas Henry Rosewarne born Durham Lead in 1866. He was a son of James & Anne Rosewarne. James was a miner also who came to Australia from Cornwall in 1857. My grandfather always said his father in law Thomas ran the battery at the Nell Gwyyne. Thomas is also mentioned in the wonderfull The Cornish in Victoria cd under Mine Managers by Leanne Lloyd. " ROSEWARNE Thomas Henry. Died 1914. Was for some time manager of the Central Nell Gwynn. He was one the longest serving members of the Long Gully Firebrigade." Thomas spent his last eight weeks of life at Donald Vic. Where his wife Rose held the licence for the Racecourse Hotel. His disease was in an advanced stage by then "Chronic Phthisis" He was 48 yo. If any one has any idea of how to find out what years Thomas was at the Nell Gwynn or any other mine Ithat he may have worked at I would very much appreciate it. Hopefully there are some family connections who are members of the Goldfields list thanks again Janine
