Her name is Suzanne Martin and she is a local historian in the city of Newcastle in New South Wales and below is an extract of her request for help to her UK friends. "He was a Commandant of our Penal Colony-yes, that was Newcastle's beginning - and was the founder of our hospital in 1817, built our first church, now Christ Church Anglican Cathedral and left us many other legacies-he was here just 2 years and was 31 years old!! And yet there is nothing in Newcastle to commemorate him - until now. So my interest in our city's history has paid off. Haven't yet received the bottle of champagne but have had positive feedback from my interviews on 2 radio stations!! I love all this, of course!! But now to my friends in UK, I would like photographs of his grave and its surrounds-any possibility that one of you might be able to visit Prestbury a village a little north west of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. I am also looking for a portrait of him-the Prestbury library cannot help so I may have to follow up with the 46th Regiment to which he belonged and with whom he went to India after Newcastle. I've sent away for his death certificate but it seems he didn't have any children from his 2 marriages."
