Notes

Miriam and Clem left the area, when the soil started to deplete (there was no super phosphate in those days), along with many others, to try their luck in the north. They lived in the flat-fronted stone farm house, not far from the hills at Warnertown, currently owned by Mr and Mrs Schutz who run goats and sheep on the property. On the corner of the property was a Methodist Church which the family attended each Sunday. The church ruins are still visible from the main north road. Service was often followed by dinner at their farmhouse for their married children. The house faces west and overlooks the plain and gulf. The walls are an enormous thickness and height. It would have been very cool in summer. There were several underground water tanks. At the front of the house when there was a picket fence, the gateway was decorated with the rib bones of a whale caught in the gulf. The flesh was melted down in Port Pirie. It was quite a memorable event for the town.
Clem's mother, Harriet (nee Parsons), was married previously to a much older man, Joseph Green by who she had three daughters (one of whom died in the bush) before she was 20. His father William came from Bath England. He and Harriet had two children in Western Australia, Leonore dying as an infant. Clem came to South Australia as a small child in about 1848. As William was a whaler he chose to settle in the Encounter Bay area. He later became a farmer at Inman Valley but also helped build the causeway across to the island at Victor Harbour. Other children were born in South Australia. Some of his mother's relatives (Parsons - originally from Gillingham, England) also came to South Australia after her father died in Western Australia and they also settle in the Victor Harbour Area. Clem and Jane obviously met in Inman Valley were both families lived.
When Clem died Jane continued to farm the property in Warnertown with the assistance of hired help and is listed in the directories of the time. She was also a mid-wife and capable first-aid giver. Her grand-children thought greatly of her. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)
