"Edward Martyn Delbridge b.1808 St. Agnes (stonemason) with wife Mary (nee Pearce) and 7 children arrived SA 1850 and went to Burra where another child was born. Made the trek from Burra to the Mt Alexander Goldfields in early 1852. Oral history is that mother, baby and the girls rode in the wagon and father and the boys walked. At night the boys slept under the wagon. At some stage there was a minor problem with some aborigines. They did well on the goldfields and set up a successful building /contracting business in Fitzroy. Camp oven used by Mary was given to the Burra Museum many years ago.
