Are there any social historians out there please . My First Cousin 5 x rem was a William Boase b 1832 in Newlyn Cornwall uk . William was a miner and emigrated to Daylesford victoria about 1858 . I would like to ask if anyone could tell me what it was probably like back in 1858. I do not know much about Australia and any insight would be added to my f history files . Thanking you.
