Millbrook
A Memory of Millbrook.
My great grandfather was born in Millbrook in 1822. He apparently was an errant youth who was transported at age 16 years to Tasmania, Australia. On all his documents he maintained his mother was Sarah Samuel (Samble) but his baptism records show his mother to have been Sarah Griffiths - the mystery remains unsolved.
William Henry Griffiths went on to marry the daughter of a prominent Scottish merchant, together they had twelve children all of whom were born and raised on the Australian gold fields.
He died in 1889.
Indeed a long way from Millbrook.
