| Shared note | Notes from David John & Lorraine Eddy: Ambrose was his mother's first child to survive. He was born in 1871 in Cornwall, and was five years old when he arrived in South Australia in 1876. He followed all his brothers around the mines in Broken Hill, Bendigo and Kalgoorlie-Boulder. He arrived at Albany in Western Australia aboard the "S.S. Waronga" on February 1st, 1896. The details of his work and residence are not listed until 1908 where he resided at 70 Lake Street, Trafalgar (later Boulder) with his brother James (his family) and Thomas, both listed as miners. His brother Thomas sent him many inventions from America to patent in Australia but he was unable to afford the duty so they remained at the Fremantle Customs. He was a very popular member with all the family and two of his great-nephew's David and Dudley Eddy bear strong resemblance to him. When his nephew Bertram took up farming in Williams Ambrose went with the family and spent the last years of his batchelor life, suffering from miner's complaint, at Bert's house at 4 Monmouth Street, Mt. Lawley He was buried at Karrakatta Cemetery. |
