itellya on 2018-01-02 00:21:06I had presumed that the spelling of the name of the grantee of crown allotment 1 of section A, Wannaeue was wrong. J.W.Tweeddale's grant of 187 acres 2 roods and 20 perches, included today's Tudor Caravan Park (Melway, 170 E8), its boundaries being Old Cape Schanck, Browns and Grasslands Rds.

There is no date* on the Wannaeue map for the issue of J.W.Tweeddale's grant but I wonder if he was the chap buried at the Rye Cemetery in the year 4987! Lily was his spouse.
*A trove search for Tweeddale Wannaeue failed to uncover the date of his purchase but it was before 1864 as shown below.

No link of TWEEDDALE with WANNAEUE, ROSEBUD or RYE has been found on trove to explain why John and Lily Myra TWEEDDALE were buried at Rye.
The Kangerong Road Board assessments of 3-9-1864 and 5-9-1865 show that ? Tweeddale was assessed on 187 acres but there was no mention of Tweeddale or a 187 acre property in 1879 or 1900. In 1910-11, D.R.Bucher, farmer, Boneo, was assessed on 187 acres, 1 of A, Wannaeue and in 1919-20, Samuel James Bucher of Mornington was assessed on 188 acres and buildings, c/a 1?, section A, Wanneue. This would have to be J.W.Tweeddale's grant and as it was the only Bucher land at Boneo, it was probably the Bucher farm which the late Ray Cairns called the Fern Paddock.
There is no evidence that J.W.Tweeddale, (the grantee of this triangular block), or John Tweeddale (buried at Rye)were related to Dr. John Dunbar Tweeddale but perhaps more will be discovered when Victorian BDM comes back online after the latest scheduled maintenance. I wonder if Haydn Bucher has heard anything about the grantee of c/a 1 of section A, Wannaeue.
