George Osmond and his wife Victoria Wheeler came to Little Bay from Tizzard’s Harbour so I’d expect some ties to the Boyde family. They moved to Little Bay between 1878 and 1881 and were still represented there into the 20th century. They arrived with the mining boom. The family appears to have held some status judging by their social associations so while fishermen from 1893 onward I suspect they may have been involved in something else prior – either mining or one of the industries it helped support. They remained in Little Bay after the 1903 fire which saw most of the population’s exodus and George Osmond’s grandson William listed Little Bay as home when he enlisted for WW1.
