Geocache Description:

A cache to remember some little remembered Australians. Information is from the Australian Dictionary of Biography.

I was born in Kensington in London.

I worked as variously as a Porter, a builder, a sailor-cook, a miner, a drover, and a teamster.

I moved to Sydney and built a expensive livery stable in Ultimo.

My livery business was very popular and attracted vice-regal patronage.

My business eventually extended into funeral arrangements.

My masterpiece was the "Car of Death".

My name lives on in a large network of funeral homes.

To find the cache, work out the forgotten Australian and answer the following:

1. The year I was born. ABCD

2. The year I arrived in Brisbane. EFGH

3. The year of my third marriage. IJKL

4. The year I died. MNOP
