Hi Listers

Thomas Penny b.c1809 place unknown, UK, emigrated to South Australia in
1849 on the 'Trafalgar'

According to oral history he died en route from Keyneton, SA to Boolite,
Vic in 1880.
His death is not registered in South Australia or Victoria.
There is no will or probate papers listed for him in either state.
I have not found him listed in any Lone Graves sites I can find.

One family member thought he died at Nerum - I can't find any such place
- perhaps he meant Miram. Correspondence with historians for that area
have no record of him.

Where did he die, and where was he buried?
