From Karen Thomson:
CAPTAIN JOHN ADAM CRAIG ..info from marriage cert of Nov 1878 of John Adam Craig and Emily Evennett... it states that John Craig was born in London England about 1851. His occupation was a Master Mariner and he was a bachelor living in Cooktown at the time of his marriage. John was 27 when he married Emily , aged 17, on the 13 Nov 1878 at the Office of the District Registrar in Cooktown , QLd EMILY CRAIG ( nee EVENNETT )LATER MARRIED THOMAS JAMES THOMSON IN MARCH 1889 AND HAD ANOTHER 2 BOYS IN NOVEMEBR 1889 AND 1891) The following is from an article, found when searching John Adam Craig... Joseph Woodville Bolles (brother in law to John Adam Craig) died in Townsville, Queensland on April 8, 1930 at age 87 and was buried in the West End Cemetery in Townsville, Queensland, Australia; Block C, Row 1, Grave 1. He is buried with Henrietta “Ettie” Bowles (sister to John Adam Craig) who died at age 41 in 1902. Exploits of the whalers and Joseph Bolles can be found in the book written by his grandson in 1993, Herb Bolles, entitled "Shipwreck, Massacre and Meyhem”. Henrietta Jane Craig of Edinburgh, Bolles second wife, sailed aboard the British Indian steamship “Merkara” to Cooktown to live with her brother Capt. John Adam Craig, who was subsequently murdered by a native crew when pearling in his Cooktown ketch “Emily” in the Louisiade Archipelago, of New Guinea, on September 14, 1886. The following year, on July 26, 1887, her then fiance, William Hanson, was similarly murdered by local natives when pearling in the Cooktown cutter “Cecilia”, in Orangerie Bay of New Guinea. Bolles then married his second wife, Jane Craig in Cooktown in 1890 and they moved to Townsville where Jessie Adaleen Bolles was born in 1892, who later married Hugh Roberts and his son Joseph Thomas Herbert Bolles was born in 1899. Bolles and his family than moved to Townsville where he continued building ships until his retirement in 1915. Bolles was the owner and master of a small steam coaster in the late 1890’s, called the “Dove”. Financially, it was a disaster and today its rusted out boiler lies in mangroves at Port Douglass; used as a bollard for fishing boats. |
