Search for origin of George & Eva Gazzard
George was my Great Great Grandfather married to Eva.
Arrived in Brisbane, Australia 1886 we believe they came from Wales. He was a Sawmill owner at Westend Brisbane. He built the Regatta Hotel in Toowong, Brisbane, the Savings Bank on Queen st, Brisbane & tendered for the City Hall, Brisbane. His Sawmill washed away in the 1893 floods.
The family then moved to Wallumbilla Queensland on a grazing property. The family were also in Toowoomba, Queensland. Children of George: Henry Austin (Builder Aust & N.Z.), Harvey(Architect), Mabel(wife of H.Slaughter Carpenter), Gladys(wife of A.Schulte Government Surveyor) and Netta(wife of W.Brown Accountant, Toowoomba).
Henry Austin is my Great Grand father.
