The contracting parties were Annie, daughter of Mrs. and the late Mr. H. M. Reid, and Walter, only surviving son of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Amos. It was the wish of both bride and groom to have the wedding as quiet as possible, as each had a brother who has made the supreme sacrifice in the service of his country in France.

  2. [S34] Online Article, Australian Dictionary of Biography, Adam Turnbull (1803-1891), medical practitioner, public servant and Presbyterian minister, was born on 4 November 1803 at Buccleuch Place, Edinburgh, the eldest son of Dr Adam Turnbull, who served as a surgeon in the 57th Regiment in the American wars and in 1800-10 was medical officer at Edinburgh Castle under the command of his friend, Earl Moira, and his wife Susan(na), née Bayne, who went to New South Wales as a widow in 1819 and to Van Diemen's Land in 1823.
    Adam Turnbull junior was educated at Edinburgh High School and obtained the degree of M.D. in that city before he was 21. He married Margaret, daughter of George Young, of Tolcross, Edinburgh. In 1824 the Colonial Office promised him a land grant in Van Diemen's Land, and with his wife and three brothers he arrived at Hobart Town in the City of Edinburgh on 13 April 1825. With them were members of his wife's family and mutual friends, the Murrays. They all settled in the Campbell Town district, where Turnbull named his property Winton, after the estate of a relation, Sir James Sandilands, whose bequest had provided the capital which entitled him to a grant.
    In 1827 he became a partner of James Reid in a whisky distillery near Campbell Town, but the partnership was dissolved late in 1828 when Turnbull entered the Colonial Medical Service as assistant surgeon in the Richmond district, leaving a younger brother, Francis Moira, in charge of Winton. Late in 1829 Turnbull began private practice in Campbell Street, Hobart.
    He died in Campbell Town on 17 June 1891.

  6. [S23] TROVE, Launceston Examiner 19 Jun 1891, OBITUARY. DR. ADAM TURNBULL. A very old colonist passed away at his residence, Ivy Cottage, Campbell Town, yesterday, in the person of Dr. Adam Turnbull, who for many years past was widely known and respected, more especially in the Midland portion of the island. Dr. Turnbull, accompanied by Mrs Turnbull, arrived in the colony from Scotland about the year 1825 - 66 years ago. He had previously obtained his medical diploma in Edinburgh. After arrival he had to encounter many of the difficulties incidental to the lives of the early pioneers. He settled in the Midland district at Winton, where he practised his profession. A few years afterwards he and his family relocated to Hobart, where his ability was soon recognised, and he became private secretary to Governor Colonel Arthur. Subsequently he was appointed to a confidential position in connection with the establishment of Sir John Franklin during his term of governorship. After Sir John returned to England Dr Turnbull occupied various honourable posts in the Government service, and secured to himself the reputation of an truly conscientious man by voting against the continuation of transportation to the colony, a vote which involved the loss of income and also of the pension due to him for 20 years of faithful service to the Government. Subsequently he became a Presbyterian minister, and for over 20 years laboured assiduously in the Midland district, where he was deeply respected by all with whom he came into contact. On October 12, 1889, Dr. and Mrs Turnbull celebrated the 65th anniversary of their marriage day, they having been wedded in Edinburgh in 1824. At the time of his death, Dr. Turnbull had attained the ripe old age of 88 years. The funeral leaves his late residence at 2 p.m. on Monday.
  7. [S23] TROVE, The Australasian Melbourne 17 Aug 1935, Part of Pastoral Pioneers series:
    BORN in Edinburgh in 1803, Adam Turnbull was the son of a surgeon in the service of the East India Company. He studied medicine, and when aged 21 he gained his M.D. degree at Edinburgh University. He then married Margaret Young, a daughter of the Postmaster General of Scotland. Towards the end of 1824, Turnbull, with his wife, his mother, brothers, and sister sailed for Van Diemen's Land and disembarked at Hobart Town early in 1825. His grant of land - the system of free grants proportioned to the amounts of capital brought to the colony was not abolished until 1831 - was taken on the Macquarie River, near Campbelltown. The land granted to him was named Winton by him, after a family property in Scotland, and at Winton on the Macquarie he remained for three years. Subsequently Winton, in the possession of the Taylor family, became famous for high-class merino sheep, and to-day is the foremost stud sheep property in Tasmania. After practising in Hobart Town for a time, Dr. Turnbull became private secretary to the Governor, Sir John Eardley-Wilmot. That was in 1843, and he continued to hold the position throughout Governor Wllmot's period. He was private secretary also to Sir William Denison in 1847. In addition, Turnbull was an official member of the Legislative Council throughout the stormy times brought about by the resistance of the colonists to the continuation of transportation. He introduced a bill to abolish the system, but, incensed at that action, Sir William Denison dismissed the entire Council, and Turnbull, as a result, lost his official positions with all their emoluments and pension rights. Dr. Turnbull cherished ambitions to settle in Port Phillip, and, although he never left Tasmania himself, he sent over his eldest son and his brother-in-law, William Young. Turnbull and Young bought the Mount Koroite and Dundas runs from J. G. Robertson, of Wando Vale. The properties comprised nearly 40,000 acres on the Koonongwootong Creek, near Coleraine. In 1853 the firm, which was known as William Young, Adam Turnbull, and Son. acquired Winninburn from Major J. N. McLeod, of Taharra, and in July, 1858, a long pastoral partnership was dissolved. Young retained Mount Koroite, and Turnbull, still under the name Turnbull and Son, kept Winninburn. At Winninburn Turnbull, junior, resided till his death in 1904, when the estate was subdivided, and realised at auction more than £ 120,000. Dr. Adam Turnbull settled in Campbelltown after he lost his official positions. There he became an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Kirk. A church was built for him, and he preached from it until his retirement. He died at Campbelltown in 1891, aged 89. His wife died a few months later, also aged 89.

Biography

BirthOctober 1801John Elmer was born in October 1801 in Barnham, Suffolk, England.1
Marriage31 March 1823He and Frances Kemp were married on 31 March 1823 in Barnham, Suffolk, England.2
Death6 June 1880He died on 6 June 1880 at age 78 in Westbury, Tasmania, Australia.3,4,5,6,7
NoteUnattributed story from Ancestry:

After John Elmer left the VDLC in less than amiable circumstances, they gave him a job as a wood splitter and shearer. Anything to keep him away from the sheep. 
He eventually left their employ, and sailed to Launceston, with Eliza his daughter, on the ship 'Edward' [A 60 ton Colonial Schooner owned by VDLC] on 7th March 1842. He left Eliza there, presumably having arranged work and accommodation.
He then returned to pick up the rest of the family,returning to Launceston with the family on board the 'Edward' arriving late April.
They had 6 of the children baptised by the VDLC Chaplain at St Pauls Church in Stanley two weeks before they left.
From May 1848-October 1857, John is listed in the 'Registers of Contracts made by individual settlers with the Convict Department for Hiring convicts at a set wage'.
He sailed a couple of times for Port Phillip Bay and Adelaide, but always returned. What his family did during these times is any body's guess!!!
In 1848 John and Frances and 7 children were living in the Franklin Hotel in Launceston.
He worked on numerous properties, and in 1858 he leased 150 acres at Cheshunt on the Meander River. By 1861 he had moved to First Creek Farm when he was declared insolvent. He was at High Plains Farm in 1865, and declared insolvent for a second time. He somehow obtained money and got the insolvency struck out.
1866- Chudleigh.
1867- Drumreagh
1868- Whiteford Hills [now Moltema].
1871-1876: John and Frances lived with their daughter Frances Mary Johnson at 'Sherwood'. John's wife Frances died whilst they were at Sherwood.
After Frances died John moved to stay with his daughter Margaret and her husband at Bridgenorth, West Tamar where he later died.
