The year was 1855. The land around Oakleigh was bush. The roads were just dirt tracks, people moved about on horseback, or horse and cart, or by foot. The city of Melbourne was a day’s journey to or from anywhere.
Somewhere around June 22, James Wynn went missing from Oakleigh. James was estimated to be about 60 years of age. No one had any idea who his family was, where he had been born or any details of his life. He was a mystery. Most likely a transient worker who would move around the area following short-term work. Very few people at that time had been born in Australia, most were immigrants, many coming to the Colony in response to gold strikes.

A death certificate was issued for James.¹¹ The document doesn’t inform us where his body is buried. It is not in the Oakleigh Cemetery or in the Melbourne General Cemetery, the closest cemetery at the time to the Melbourne Coroner’s Court. No other details were known to complete the certificate. No place of birth, parents, or time of death. Only ‘found dead.’¹²
