Notes:

Family Search record for Mungo (LH26-FXG) suggests that little is known of Williams movements. Family recollections variously suggest that he had been sent out to Australia in advance of the rest of the family to acquire suitable land but absconded with the family funds, or that he remained in Canada or perhaps moved to the United States.

From Peter Prove email:
" The brother William's movements are more mysterious. Family recollections variously suggest that he had been sent out to Australia in advance of the rest of the family to acquire suitable land but absconded with the family funds, or that he remained in Canada or perhaps moved to the United States."

However records show he died in Ingham, Herbert District, Queensland but his wife Elizabeth McEwan died in Harrisville suggesting that he had contact with the family. He married 24 May 1864 and lived in Ingham, Herbert District, Queensland, Australia, well north ( abt 1500 km) of Brisbane where the family landed.

From Mary Hoods Obituary
"Mr. W. Boyle, who brought the first cattle over the range from Cardwell to the Herbert district."
This is a distance or about 300 km although google suggests it is about 600 km by road today.

See story in 'The Ingham District, Some Early Years, Discovery and Development
That was the start of the Herbert River and ?b?Scott Brothers were actually the first to open it up?/b?.



Residence:
The next on record was William Boyle, and he settled on what was afterwards Gedge Brothers' Estate, Marathon.
See details in story ?i?The Ingham District - Some Early History, Discovery and Development

?/i?Marathon is a town within the locality of Stamford in the Flinders Shire, Queensland, Australia that failed to develop. The undeveloped town of Marathon lies between the Flinders Highway and the Marathon railway station on the Great Northern railway line from Townsville to Mount Isa. Although the town did not develop, the Flinders Highway deviates to bypass it. The name Marathon drives from the pastoral run name first used by the lessees in 1863, at the suggestion of William Lempriere Frederick Sheaffe, the Commissioner of Crown Lands Kennedy District, using a Greek historical name. The town of Marathon first appears on a 1916 survey plan.

he Flinders Highway is a highway that crosses Queensland east to west, from Townsville on the Pacific coast to Cloncurry. The road continues as the Barkly Highway from Cloncurry to the Northern Territory border at Camooweal and beyond. The Flinders Highway passes a number of small outback towns and typical outback landscape predominates towards the inland. It was known as National Route 78 before Queensland began to convert to the alphanumeric system being adopted in Australia and is now designated as A6. The highway is also known as Overlanders Way.[1] Its entire length is part of the National Land Transport Network (formerly Auslink).

The Great Northern Railway is a 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) railway line in Queensland, Australia. The line stretches nearly 1,000 kilometres linking the port city of Townsville, Australia to the mining town of Mount Isa in north-west Queensland. Along with a passenger service called the Inlander, it is a major freight route connecting the Mount Isa Mines to the Townsville Port. In 2010 the line moved 5.8 million tonnes of cargo, and this is expected to increase significantly in coming years.

Townsville is a city on the north-eastern coast of Queensland, Australia. Townsville is Australia's largest urban centre north of the Sunshine Coast, with a population of 180,820 as of June 2018.[1] Considered the unofficial capital of North Queensland by locals, Townsville hosts a significant number of governmental, community and major business administrative offices for the northern half of the state.[4] It is in the dry tropics region of Queensland, adjacent to the central section of the Great Barrier Reef.[5] The city is also a major industrial centre, home to one of the world's largest zinc refineries, a nickel refinery and many other similar activities. The Port of Townsville is also being expanded to allow much larger cargo ships from Asia and the world's largest passenger ships to visit. It is an increasingly important port due to its proximity to Asia and major trading partners such as China.
Early history
Such indigenous groups as the Wulgurukaba, Bindal, Girrugubba, Warakamai and Nawagi, among others, originally inhabited the Townsville area.[6][7] The Wulgurukaba claim to be the traditional owner of the Townsville city area; the Bindal had a claim struck out by the Federal Court of Australia in 2005.[8]

James Cook visited the Townsville region on his first voyage to Australia in 1770, but did not actually land there. Cook named nearby Cape Cleveland, Cleveland Bay and Magnetic(al) Island.[9] In 1819, Captain Phillip Parker King and botanist Alan Cunningham were the first Europeans to record a local landing.[9] In 1846, James Morrill was shipwrecked from the Peruvian, living in the Townsville area among the Bindal people for 17 years before being found by white men and returned to Brisbane.[9]

Establishment

Townsville ca. 1870

Anzac Cenotaph and Esplanade, Townsville, circa 1935
The Burdekin River's seasonal flooding made the establishment of a seaport north of the river essential to the nascent inland cattle industry.[10] John Melton Black of Woodstock Station, an employee of Sydney entrepreneur and businessman Robert Towns, dispatched Andrew Ball, Mark Watt Reid and a detachment of 8 troopers of the Native Police under the command of John Marlow to search for a suitable site.[9] Ball's party reached the Ross Creek in April 1864 and established a camp below the rocky spur of Melton Hill, near the present Customs House on The Strand.[9] Edward Kennedy, a member of the surveying party, recalls the Native Police chasing local tribesmen into the ocean and 'pumping lead' at them. On the return journey to Port Denison, the group 'dispersed' another aboriginal clan, rounding up fifteen women 'who remained at the scene of combat' and abducted them back to the barracks. No mention is made of the fate of any children.[11] The first party of settlers, led by W. A. Ross, arrived at Cleveland Bay from Woodstock Station on 5 November of that year. In 1866 Robert Towns visited for three days, his first and only visit. He agreed to provide ongoing financial assistance to the new settlement and Townsville was named in his honour.[9]

Townsville was declared a municipality in February 1866, with John Melton Black elected as its first Mayor.[9] Townsville developed rapidly as the major port and service centre for the Cape River, Gilbert, Ravenswood, Etheridge and Charters Towers goldfields.[10] Regional pastoral and sugar industries also expanded and flourished. Townsville's population was 4,000 people in 1882 and grew to 13,000 by 1891.

Notes from the Hills, Herbert River Express

The Satellite Lease-one of the Planet group of Waverley's early days, and now held by Mr. Harry Carson, is being again worked by him. He is working on a nice leader that was passed through when sinking the shaft, and it runs from about 6 ft. from the surface down to within a few feet of the tunnel level, and is dipping into the hill. From present appearances a 50 ton crushing is spoken of, and if all is of a quality to what is now being raised, a good result will be obtained. Everyone on the field would like to see the present owner get a turn-up, for he is one of those who has tried to send the place ahead, and what is
more, has always been willing to help along anybody who wished assistance in prospecting or developing a show; in fact, one of the old school of mining men who are fast disappearing from our nothern fields.

Across Oakey Creek one of Paul Poppendorf's shows is still being worked, as also is Boyle and party's wolfram claim. The drop In wolfram will felt by the latter, more especially as their claim was looking well, and was in good working order. A bit of bad luck for the holders to bump against a falling market when all dead work was accomplished.

Mat Cockrell's parcel of 13 tons cleaned tip for two tons black tin, and he tells me that he has another crushing of equal quality In sight. Evidently the Rob Roy, which was about the richest of the Waverley Co.'s leases, is not done yet, but is only beginning to show Itself.

Everthing has a dry appearance round Waverley just now. Water is scarce and so is feed for stock. As if this was not bad enough, some one set fire to the grass near the township. Dry feed is bad enough, but no feed at all is worse, and it woul appear as if the lesson tought by the drought year - when nearly all grass had been burnt in anticipation of the rain that never came - has been forgotten. . .

Notes:

?i?from Family Search: Mungo Boyle (LH26-FXG)
?/i?
An article written by a Mr C.M. Forbes and published in the Perth Courier 15 Dec 1905 through 9 February 1906 (transcribed by C. Dobie) records that a Robert Boyle was one of the founding members of the management committee of the Lanark Agricultural Society when it was formed in 1850.

The whole family (with the exemption of William) appear to have taken ship from London for Brisbane AU on the 'Golden City' on 23 Oct 1865, arriving in Australia on 5 Feb 1866. The shipping records relating o the 'Golden City' seems to indicae that the brothers John (Margaret), Robert (Elizabeth) and David (Nancy Agnes Jameson) brought wives with them from Canada. It appears that the daughters Kate (Katharine/Catharine) and May (Mary) married in Australia.

They took up agricultural land near Ipswich, Queensland, AU, where they built a small cottage called 'Kelvin Grove' (harking back no doubt to the Kelvin River of Robert Hendry Boyles's Scottish origins). Most of the cottage still stands, although nearly derelict since a fire in about 2000.

?i?From a Harrisville Local History
?/i?Robert Hendry Boyle born in 1793 (1795?) at Campsie Scotland and his wife Janet Miller, born in 1808 (1802?) and their eight adult children and their families came to Queensland from Scotland via Canada arriving in the 1860s. Robert and Janet 'took up' 120 acres of land, part of the 11,000 acres that made up the Ipswich Reserve, calling their property 'Kelvin Grove' after their home in Scotland. Other members of the family 'took up' parcels of land near by. In 1872, Robert gave an acre of his land for the Hillgrove School. The family grew cotton until the 1880s and for a while tried flax. Robert and Janet are both buried at the Harrisville cemetery.

(Research):Jean Rainey 25 Grey St. Glenbrook, NSW AU 2773 sent a book 'Looking Back along the Fassifern Valley' by Harry Pugsley, 1975 which has a chapter about Robert Boyle and Janet Miller and their family to JRE Miller about 1990.

Tracey Crow Midland Highway Byrneside 3617 provided some basic information on the first generation of the Boyle family and John Miller about 1990.

No contact was made with living descendants of either.

Notes for further research: ?b?Queensland?/b? Cook arrived in 1770, Flinders in 1802 convicts to Moreton Bay 1822 from Sydney. At that time the area was part of New South Wales 1864 there was drought 1884-86 there was almost no rain

****************************
?i?The following email from Peter Prove contain erroneous information and has circulated for years.?/i? Boyle Family of Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

Robert Hendry Boyle was baptised on 3 September 1795, according to the old parochial register of births and baptisms of the Parish of Campsie, County of Stirling, Scotland. His parents were recorded as "William Boyle, Fevar Eastertown of Balgreihend, and his spouse Catherine Hendry". Based upon Robert Hendry Boyle's recorded age of 88 as at the date of his death in Australia on 13 July 1881, his birth year would have been 1792 or 1793. Robert Hendry Boyle and married Janet Miller, daughter of William Miller and Janet (or Mary) Burns, in Canada (source: Janet Miller's death certificate) on 4 March 1825 (source: entry in Robert Hendry Boyle's family bible). The children of the marriage are recorded (in the family bible) as being: Katharene, born 25 Sept 1826 Mary, born 20 Dec 1828 William, born 11 Feb 1831 John Hendry, born 7 (month illegible) 1834 Robert Hendry, born 21 Dec 1835 David Miller, born 31 Dec 1837 James, born 16 April 1840 Mungo Alexander, born 14 Oct 1842 Mungo Alexander Boyle's marriage certificate (he was married in Australia on 18 November 1869) specifically gives his birthplace as (town or place): Lanark (county or shire): Lanark (country): Canada West, and in the absence of any contrary evidence I am assuming that all the other children were also born in Lanark Twp. I was advised that in the 1991 publication by Carol Bennett, "The Lanark Society Settlers", contains numerous relevant references, including the fact that "Janet (Jessie) Miller, who was 12 years old when she came to Canada, married Robert Boyle of lot 6, con 2, Lanark Twp.", and that the 1851 census showed their family as follows: Catherine, 28 Mary, 26 William, 24 John, 18 Robert, 15

(David and James are missing for some reason) Mungo, 10 John Mason Miller, 3 (possibly a fostered child, from Janet Miller's side of the family) An article written by a Mr. C. M. Forbes and published in the Perth Courier 15 Dec 1905 through 9 February 1906 (and transcribed for the LCGS website by Charles Dobie) records that a Robert Boyle (presumably the elder) was one of the founding members of the management committee of the Lanark Agricultural Society when it was formed in 1850. The whole family (with the exception of William) appear to have taken ship from London for Brisbane, Australia, on the 'Golden City' on 23 Oct 1865, arriving in Australia on 5 Feb 1866. They took up agricultural land near Ipswich, Queensland, Australia, where they built a small cottage called 'Kelvin Grove' (harking back no doubt to the Kelvin River of Robert Hendry Boyle's Glasgow origins). Most of the cottage still stands, although nearly derelict - since a fire in the last year or so. Mungo Alexander Boyle was remembered in an article published in a local Australian newspaper in 1931 as having an injured foot "through having chopped it while falling scrub in Canada". The same article indicates that the sisters Kate (Katharene/Catherine) and May (Mary) married in Australia. The shipping records relating to the 'Golden City' seem to indicate that the brothers John, Robert and David brought wives with them from Canada (Margaret (maiden name unknown), Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) and Nancy Agnes Jameson respectively). The brother William's movements are more mysterious. Family recollections variously suggest that he had been sent out to Australia in advance of the rest of the family to acquire suitable land but absconded with the family funds, or that he remained in Canada or perhaps moved to the United States. Any further information about this family in Canada would be greatly appreciated. Willing to exchange information. Thank You. Peter N. Prove - Geneva, Switzerland. - E-Mail - peterprove@hotmail.com

JR Ernest Miller Notes
?/b?Janet (Jessie) Miller and Robert Boyle
Janet Miller would have been 19 years of age when her parents, William Miller and Elizabeth Gilmour, left Dumbarton and sailed from Greenock for their new home in Lanark County.

Robert and Janet lived on Lanark Con 2 L 6. The 1851 census has the following information.
Boyle, Robert; born in Scotland, age 57.
Jannett; his wife, age 48
Catherine; age 28
Mary; age 26
William; age 24
John; age 18
Robert; age 17
David; age 15
Mungo; age 10
John Mason Miller; age 3

Baptismal records of St. Andrew's, Lanark record the following:
William; born 11 feb 1831, son of Robert Boyle and Janet Miller
John Henry; born 7 feb 1834, son of Robert Boyle and Janet Miller

The 1861 census lists their religion as Congregational so perhaps more information is to be found in that church's records if available. Ages given in 1861 are Robert; age 66, Janet, age 59.
