Kathy,
I have an old Ballarat book first printed in about 1870 and then reprinted
and brought up to date in 1887.
In it a Joseph Roff, a clothier, is said to be a member of the Town Council.
This is in 1854. In the book there are a number of letters written by him
about current events. He seemed to be quite a literary gentleman with a
great sense of humour.
He is also mentioned as one of a committee of 12 men who raised the money to
build the Eureka Stockade Memorial in 1887.
