The unusual entrance to St Mark's Church of England The first intimation received in reference to the shocking tragedy was a hasty message for Dr Hardy, requesting him to go out to Illaroo to attend Mrs.
Mr Propsting immediately drove out and also Dr Hardy, but Mrs Easton died a few minutes after being wounded. The circumstances of the case are singular and go to prove either that a great error has been committed in having allowed Mr de Bomford to remain at large in a state of aberrated intellect, without proper restraint, or a most deliberate and premeditated murder has been perpetrated. The deceased had been living with her sister-in-law, Mrs de Bomford, at Illaroo for many years, was beloved by all the family, and exercised valuable influence over Mr De Bomford.

Ballycurragh to Tasmania — The Grey Family and Innes Clan explores these events and consequences for one family and its descendants. They were shipwrecked at St Jago and escaped with only the cloths they were wearing although Humphrey did manage to go ashore with his money belt and gold sovereigns still safe and sound. The story embraces just about all of our human emotions, through the quest for a better life, not only for themselves but for their children and future generations.
In essence, like most emigrants, this was their primary motivation although compelling events such as war, economic and social challenges beyond the individual were also at play. The family stepped straight into the Black War with the aborigines whose land and lives were lost to the British. Jim Everett is a direct descendent from Manalargenna, a clan leader from the leetermairremener people whose part land was taken and given to the Grays. There are two volumes: the first written by Kate Dougharty in the early s and the second more recently by her great nephew Dr Ian Broinowski.
