There’s a lot to be figure out here still. I’ll start by figuring out the family tree and gathering some biographical details.

I might be able to place their location after leaving Little Bay with census lists and travel documents.

What really interests me is the reference in Henry Lind’s ledger to Peter Austin taking over John Lamb’s accounts in 1895. I’d be curious to see if he took over Lamb’s operations if any remained after the Skittle Alley fire.
