Albert Vincent Balzary

I found the following letter from Jean Nixon to Graeme Mills (ADHS 1998) which stated he worked as a miner and moved around the goldfields.  Jean Nixon wrote. ...... The BALZARY family apparently wandered from goldrush to goldrush. Emily was born at Daisy Hill, Eleanor (my grandmother) was born at Goldsborough, Arthur was born at Pleasant Creek (Stawell) 1858, and Edwin Albert was born at Lamplough 1860. .......  father- Albert Vincent BALZARY miner born Hungary mother- Honoretta BENTLEY born Dublin As initially presumed, it seems his prime motivation for relocating to Australia was the possibility of striking it rich.
