FHL Film Number: 6035516Born in Scotland, son of David and Janet/Jennet Hamilton Turnbull (b.1815), and moved to Cromwell, NZ mid 1891. Married Elizabeth Jane Trevethan 27 Apr 1892.
Why David went to NZ is unknown. He left after both parents had died and David seems to have gone there in 1891 and settled in Cromwell and married Elizabeth Jane Trevethan on 27th April 1892 at the home of her uncle George Morris, a Doctor. There was a notice of the marriage in the Otago Witness 19th May 1892. The Trevathan family had emigrated from Cornwall. David was a brewer there and owned a brewery that may have been transferred to him on marriage by the Trevathan family and was transferred back to Elizabeth on his death. The marriage was only short as David died 7th Jan 1894 and produced no children. David had apparently been suffering from softening of the brain for some 6 months prior to death and had been with George Morris on the day he died.

31 July.—Confirmation of David Auchinvole of Cromwell, Provincial District of Otago, New Zealand, who died 7 January 1894, at Cromwell, testate, granted at Edinburgh, to George Alexander Morris, Medical Practitioner, Cromwell aforesaid, and George Henry Stephenson, Bank Manager, residing there, Executors nominated in Will or Deed, dated
5 December 1893, and recorded in Court Books of Commissariot of Edinburgh, 27 July 1894.
Elizabeth was born at St. Breock, Cornwall in 1871. She was present at her grand parents home when the 1871 census was taken along with David and Elizabeth’s own children William aged 15, Emma aged 13 who both worked on the farm and David aged 10 scholar, Maria aged 7 scholar, Mary aged 5 scholar and Edith who was two. David at that time was aged 45 and farming fifteen acres. Thomas Trevathan was already in New Zealand but Elizabeth was not to arrive in Cromwell until twenty one years later in January 1892. She was however in Australia with the rest of the family in 1882 and also present at the wedding of Dr Morris to Polly Trevathan in 1891 in Cromwell although she lived at that time at Luggate.
However returning to New Zealand, David Auchinvole and Elizabeth Trevathan’s marriage was not to be a long one as David died less than two years later on the 7th of January 1894 from softening of the brain. He had been unwell for previous six months and his Doctor George Morris had been with him that day. He was buried two days later at the new Cromwell Cemetery. There were no children from this marriage.
Elizabeth, following David's death, re married a Cromwell farmer John William Perriam. Little is known about the marriage of Elizabeth and John Perriam except that it ended in divorce in 1902 with no children from the marriage. They did however, after two years of marriage, adopt a child by the name of Ivy May Davidson whose parents were Robert Davidson and Elizabeth MacDonald. She was born on the 29th of March 1897 and baptised at the Cromwell Church of England on the 23rd of May that year.
Elizabeth Perriam remarried for the third time on the fourteenth of December 1904 at the age of thirty four. This time the wedding was held in Dunedin where she married a labourer by the name of Maurice Curran, the son of John and Anstie Curran (nee Connelly), who had arrived in New Zealand of the “Cork” at Timaru back on the twentieth of October 1876.
Elizabeth Curran had a daughter, Dorice Marie, who was born in 1906. Dorice only lived to the age of ten and died in Ashburton on the nineteenth of July 1917. Next born was Patrick and finally Maurice David Curran in 1911 by which time Elizabeth was forty one years old. They may have first lived in Dunedin and then Waipara near Ashburton before Bessie purchased a house in 102 Cox Street, Ashburton from Ellen Meeking on the eighteenth of May 1920. Maurice and Elizabeth lived together in Ashburton for the next fourteen years until the death of Maurice at the age of eighty one years on the fifth of June 1934. Elizabeth remained in the same house for the next sixteen years before selling to Ellen Hill on the thirty first of October 1950.
Her son David Curran married Nellie and it is understood that he and his brother Patrick were motor dealers in Ashburton. Patrick liked nice cars, had a pilot's license, served in the Pacific and was a Auckland City Councillor. He married Phyllis and moved to Auckland before the War. David was still in Ashburton in 1946 but also later moved to Auckland.
Alexander is first recorded in Gananoque in 1823 as a tanner and currier, most likely a steady job. There were signs of financial trouble in the 1860s. The job didn't stop his two sons David and Gilbert also becoming tanners.
Alexander married in 1827 to Maria Bockus most likely in Canada. Maria Bockus was of German descent though her parents according to Maria Auchinvole on the 1891 Ontario census say that they were both born United States. There is no doubt this set of Bockus were German. The marriage to Maria meant that their children were half German breaking centuries of the Auchinvoles being purely Scottish. Auchinvole had now got many Bockus relatives of German descent nearby. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that Auchinvole spoke and understood German to some degree ranging from basic to pretty good.
On the 1839 census Alexanders house has 10 people living in it although non are identified.Alexander became a naturalised Canadian C 1841/2

He has not been found in or around Canada between his birth and death.
The evidence says he was another son of Alexander Auchinvole who went south into USA from Canada.
Buffalo: 1848-1855
A C.J. Auchinvole is in Buffalo in Eerie County, New York, in a directory in 1848 and 1855 with a John Auchinvole. Charles is the nephew of John Auchonvole of Buffalo i.e. his father's very much younger brother by about 22 years. John Auchinvole was a clerk at Philo Allen an up market jewellers/watchmakers of Main Street and Charles J is also a clerk there.Kansas: 1856
Charles J Auchinvole was in Kansas Territory but it is unknown if it was the spirit of adventure that drove him there or his politics as he looks like he was a free state supporter and an abolitionist (of slavery).Following a battle of Hickory Point in Kansas on 13 Sep 1856 a number of prisoners were taken. It was ordered that a list of prisoners be released and second on the list was Charles John Auchinvole of New York. So it looks like he was in the troubles at Hickory Point.
Colorado: 1858-59
After his experience in Kansas, Charles J appears to have moved on to Colorado and would/should have gone with a wagon train. He is on the list of first settlers there in 1858/9. Charles J Auchinvole who is now, if this is the correct one, aged about 27.Arizona: 1864
He is picked up on an emergency Arizona census in 1864. On the census is Charles J Auchinvole, aged 32, born Canada, a miner with property to the value of $500. Arizona was split into three Judicial areas, and Charles was in Yavapai County which is a huge area. He had only been resident for a month and this apparently meant, resident in Arizona, however it is unclear if this further means Arizona as a new US territory or in Arizona when it was in New Mexico.Colorado: 1872-1902
It seems that he managed to get a livery business back in Colorado with feed and hay and in the same advert there are said to be rooms on another street. In late 1872 disaster struck as there was a fire at the livery that began in the building next door by way of carelessness by a man who ought to have known better. There was $2000 worth of damage with no insurance to cover. By January 1873 the townsfolk who held him in high regard had raised $1000 towards a rebuild, at this time Charles J was the post master. He then turns up with a billiard and sample room with ten pins attached and by 1884 he seems to have branched out in the saloon business with an A Bott. By the late 1889s he seems to be at Spaulding House. In the late 1890s he is along with a whole host of others is listed as a tax delinquent but still in Colorado in 1901 in El Paso. Still there 1902 but if this a directory compiled in the previous year he may well have been there in 1901 but moved on by 1902.Ontario Canada: 1903
What happens to Charles next is unknown apart from the fact he died at Kingston, Ontario, Canada in 1903.

In December 1898, after many years of separation, a reunion took place in Garnet and their stories were told in the Garnet Mining News,"Twenty-five years ago James Auchinvioile, now one of the owners of the famed Nancy Hanks, was running a little store in Yreka, then a small placer mining camp, but now abandoned. He had a brother John who had tramped with him from Upper Canada to the Caribou mines in 1862, and to Montana some couple of years later.

NOTES OF A WEEK
John Auchinvole and brother, J. S. Auchinvole, of Montana, were passengers on the Salmon river stage to Carvers, whither they go to look after their extensive placer interests.)They were young men then, full of life, vigor and hope for the future. They placed mines and rustled in the different placer camps of Montana for some years with but average success until as stated. Jim the oldest, was the proprietor of a little store. John was yet full of adventure and a desire to "look beyond". So one June morning in 1873 John shook his brother's hand and said, "Goodby, Jim, I'm going somewhere, I don't know just where, but somewhere," and John struck out alone in the wide world which at the time before the advent of railroads, seemed twice the size it does now. He roamed here and there, over accompanied by this pick, pan and shovel, but then as now good miners were hard to find and John was not successful. At least his fortune was yet to be made when he wandered aimlessly into the beautiful valley or plateau in Idaho near Granger where he took up a farm and got married."
He became well off in cattle, horses and money, and then came a longing to see his brother Jim. In the intervening years he had heard but little of him except that he was alive and still near the place where he had left him. The longing to see his brother increased until it became a passion no longer to be trifled with or carelessly dismissed, and a week or so ago he packed a small valise and started out to hunt up Jim. Last Saturday's stage brought the Garnet a large-framed man with shaggy eye brows, and a general well-to-do appearance but with the Garnet hotel and inquired of Neal McDonald if he knew a man named James Auchinvoile. "Yes", said Neal, who at once detected a striking resemblance, "and you are his brother".
"Mr. McDonald kindly consented to go with him in search of Jim, whom they found at the Nancy Hanks hoist. Jim looked his brother over critically, shook his head and said, "You are not John; you are not half big enough for him". John slowly bared his wrist, showing a scar, and commenced detailing the circumstances when he received it in their boyhood days, but Jim becoming convinced, somewhat excitedly interrupted the story and grabbing him by both hands rapidly began asking questions".
"James Auchinvoile is part owner in the Nancy Hanks group of mines and now considered a wealthy man, while John is also well off, and as both are on the down hill side of life, but yet are young enough to enjoy it, they will, it is hoped by their friends, have the health to pass the remainder of their lives in joy and contentment".
While working at the Nancy Hanks "Big Jim" almost lost his life in what would have been one of the most bizarre accidents of the time. The three were within thirty feet of the collar. They had extinguished their candles when in some manner the bell rope became wrapped around Auchinvole's neck. Unable to cry out, he was being dragged head downward from the bucket. His companions managed to grab him by the legs. This in turn might have dumped them all down the shaft; but Jim's struggles set off a furious clanging of the bell. An alert engineer leaped to the lever and disengaged the power. Stopped at last, tilted over the abyss, Ritchey managed to cut the rope with his clasp knife. It was in a half-hitch, so it had to be cut twice before the badly shaken man could breathe again. Perhaps to Auchinvole it seemed a portent. Sam Ritchey had already been looking for buyers. Auchinvole signed over power of attorney, leaving his share for sale as his partner wished.
The Nancy Hanks mine was located about a third of a mile northwest of the town of Garnet in Williams Gulch. It is composed of the patented Nancy Hanks and eleven unpatented claims. In its first years only small lots of ore were worked in an arrastra on Bear Creek. But the mine was destined to start the first lode mining boom in the district in 1896. In that year an especially rich ore shoot was located in the Nancy Hanks. The "red ore" of the mine was said to have produced $400,000 from a chimney in under a year, but this figure is probably inflated. For the next three years the mine shipped ore continuously and thereafter intermittently until 1907.
The control of the Nancy Hanks changed several times. By 1897 the property was owned by Ritchie and J. S. Auchinvole.
In his biography circa 1905, Samuel Ritchey, who developed the Nancy Hanks mine, wrote the following:
"I struck ore in the Nancy Hanks mine in 1896. In 1897, 1898 and 1899, I took out $550,000 in gold and silver from the Nancy Hanks, Cascade and Spokane claims."James S Auchinvole is back in Canada by 19th Dec 1900 as he is a witness at a wedding together with his sister Maria, who is never seemingly mentioned anywhere. The parties to the wedding were Bertha Geraldi aged 32 of Gananoque and Bryon Hopper, aged 53, a widower. Ms Bertha Geraldi had a number of sisters one of whom was a Mrs Mary Auchinvole of Kingston.

174. Charles Auchinvole BLYTHE
Birth: Charles Blythe
Born: October 11, 1825 Glassford,Lanark,Scotland
Scottish Church Records (R), C116454 Frame 328Charles was born 11th Oct 1825 in Glasford a small village near Hamilton Lanarkshire Scotland and was the eldest child of Robina and Charles Berry Blyth merchant. By the age of 15 Charles was an apprentice lithographer and by 25 an artist printer.
Seemingly he was a journalist in Birmingham so what was wrong with lithography and the writer doesn't know and by 1860 he can be found in Australia in Tumut tutoring the children of his sister Margaret Ann Viner /Vyner. It is written that he was sent to the colonies as a result of his drinking. Charles was later appointed to a teaching post in the New National School in Adelong. Resigning in 1863 Charles later wrote articles for the local paper in Tumult and later was the editor. He was also the first editor of the Gundagai Times and was considered "a very competetant hand at the game". Owing to a severe and sudden illness and he went in his own words "up country" though where and what he was doing is not revealed. However he seems to have returned to teaching and his final post was in Brindabella where one of his pupils was the writer Stella M Franklin with whom he seemed to have a special rapport.
In 1899 he had to seek medical attention and whilst in the Coastal hospital Sydney died 1st April 1902 aged 77. He was buried Sydney and his death certificate stated he was a journalist.It is said that Charles possessed qualities for the instruction of youth namely patience and getting his explanations to be understood by his scholar sand that he managed to make lessons interesting and he got his pupils attention.
Charles was said to be a mild mannered man and a credit to the public school system that had stood him in good stead in the colonies but he couldn't boil an egg. If he had not got a drink problem he would have been playing golf with Scottish Lairds instead of having a lonely life in NSW. It is not thought he married but led a single life.Wednesday 1 December 1875
Gundagai Times says :— On Wednesday week Mr. Charles Blyth, for many years editor of this paper, in a fit of mental despondency attempted to commit suicide, which we are glad to say was unsuccessful. He was taken to the hospital, and we believe he is progressing towards recovery.The Gundagai Times and Tumut, Adelong and Murrumbidgee District Advertiser - Friday 4 Feb 1876, p2.

OPENING OF THE ADELONG PUBLIC SCHOOL
...
Mr Shepard next proposed a vote of thanks to the Press. He recollected when Mr Charles Blyth, who was now a journalist, opened the first school in Adelong fifteen years ago.
Others subsequently opened schools, and so it went on until they at length opened that splendid building.
... Mr Samuel White also acknowledged the compliment on behalf of the ' Tumut Times.' He felt very grateful to Mr Shepard for his friendly reference to Mr Blyth. He was sure it would make that gentleman's large and generous heart bound with pride were he present to see so many of his old friends and their children growing up around them.
CCharles had an artistic side with at least four paintings to be found in the National Library of Australia.
