On his record a wife Mary is listed and an address of 124 Allen Street, Sheffield. I cannot find that she came to Aust. The record also states the crime "stealing a mare", for which he recd. 10 yrs penal servitude! William died in 1873 at Champion Bay, Geraldton. This is the same area that other Bottomley people were farming and road building. Does this information relate to anyone on list pls?
