Dear listers Thank you all for your encouragement and suggestions to the query I posted on Edward Tegertha Mann of South Australia and Cornwall, especially to Lyn for providing the name of the exact site I needed. A brick wall of many years standing has finally been broken down. it gives one a very good feeling. Now, can I get help with a question on SA history? Edward was a blacksmith and miner at Wallaroo but after about 15 or 16 years there, the family moved to Port Victor (Victor Harbour?) where the birth of the last child occurred in 1882. An article on Trove in The Narracoorte Herald in 1886 places Edward in or near Narracoorte and going to the new goldfind at Teetulpa. Was there mining at Narracoorte or in the vicinity at that time to lure him away from Wallaroo? Are there any directories for the area for this time period eg. Post Office, Sands and Macdougall, which might give an address and an occupation for him? Any other suggestions for resources in that area? Cheers Jocelyn

Dear Jocelyn Look up the following 1.. Flinders Ranges Research: Welcome to the largest, and premier website, for Historical Information about SOUTH AUSTRALIA and the Northern Territory Teetulpa is mentioned as well as Naracoorte (Not Narracoorte) which both had gold mining fields. 2. The MANNING Index of South Australian History - State Library of South Australia These sites may be helpful to you. >From Lyn Gilmour Rankin PArk NSW ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jocelyn Gould via" <cornish-gen@rootsweb.com> To: <CORNISH-GEN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2015 3:59 PM Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Edward Mann research > Dear listers > > Thank you all for your encouragement and suggestions to the query I > posted on Edward Tegertha Mann of South Australia and Cornwall, > especially to Lyn for providing the name of the exact site I needed.

Hello Jocelyn, Perhaps I can shed some light on your request. I live in the area of Naracoorte (spelling of today) and although mining of various minerals/water, etc has been spoken of for future exploration, mining hasn't occurred in this region (I stand to be corrected referring to a reply from fellow lister Lyn?). Naracoorte was known also by "Mosquito Plains" on one of several routes taken by the gold escorts from Victoria to South Australia. Nowadays, Naracoorte is noted for its World Heritage listed fossil caves. The Teepulpa goldfield was near the Flinders Ranges of South Australia, a distance of approximately 310 kms N.NE of Adelaide, South Australia's capital city. More gold was discovered at Teepulpa than anywhere else in the history of South Australia. By the end of 1886 there was more than five thousand men at the gold field. Looking up Teetulpa Goldfield on the Trove website not only brought up the Naracoorte Herald extract but other newspapers also. The Naracoorte Herald is just one of the country newspapers that has been transcribed to Trove, the digitised newspaper site for the National Library of Australia. Reading the extract it appears that Edward Mann and two others left Kingston (also in the same region as Naracoorte, but by the coast) for the gold field, along with many others. My guess and only my guess, Edward Mann was lured by Gold at Teetulpa. I've also discovered on findmypast.com.au website that a Edward Mann, blacksmith of Wallaroo was charged with desertion from his wife, Ann in 1870. Best wishes with your research Joycelyn.
