Personal Notes:
Family memorabilia says Ernest was born 6 a.m. at Canoona. A tribute to Ernest says, that at time of his death, he was survived by his widow and seven children. He first went to P.N.G. in the "Merrie England" in 1892 at 20 yrs. & tried his hand at gold digging on Woodlark Island, returned to Coen to marry, & returned to P.N.G. 1898 to take part in the Milne Bay & later Mambare gold rushes. Later, he ran boats with supplies along the coast & to Cooktown. This information supplied by his grandaughter, Ann Wiltshire
