Discovery of 2-Pound "Nugget" of Gold in Australia

6/29/2013

Robert Crump ("Bah Gum" Crump; 1826-1912) was a grandson of my 4th great grandparents, Robert Coulthard (1761-1846) and Jane Dalton (1766-1833) from the Wetheral/Cumwhinton area of Cumberland (Cumbria).  He emigrated to Australia from Penrith, Cumberland with his wife and family in 1852. In 1865, he discovered a huge "nugget" of gold weighing about 2 pounds, which family lore indicates may have brought in sufficient money to buy a property.
Newspaper Article, The Argus (21 Jan 1865)
Montage of newspaper article published in The Argus, Victoria, Australia, 21 January 1865, Page 5, Columns 2/3 (http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/214621 : accessed 29 Jun 2013). No longer under copyright as >70 years have elapsed from the end of the year of publication.
A distant cousin has authored a book, The Crumps of Cumberland England, which details the Cumberland and Australian Crumps.

Hi Jill:

I think that makes us 5th cousins. Did you realize that you have relatives in England? Send me your e-mail address via the Contact page (http://www.genealogyjunkie.net/contact.html), either using my e-mail address or via the Contact Form -- no-one will see it except me.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Sue.
