    Notes:

    William was on the goldfields with his father Richard and brother Henry Mountjoy Ham, and his uncle Henry, and brothers Samuel and David Ham, his first cousins once removed. The gold returns were listed in the Geelong Advertiser - "the escort brought the following quantities of gold from Ballarat to Geelong"
    RETURNS OF GOLD from the ESCORT OF GOLD FROM BALLARAT TO GEELONG
    Taken from the Geelong Advertiser.
    To our home readers the following particulars of weekly Escort Returns will convey some idea of the quantities which are accumulated by lucky diggers, premising that much which appears must not be confounded with individual gains, being gold purchased by storekeepers and agents on the ground from the diggers, or received in exchange for articles of food and clothing, but the main bulk are the gains of diggers. (GA, 11 October 1853).

    They were paid nearly £4 per ounce for the gold, so they would seem to have made some good money which enabled them all to purchase land and build houses over the next few years. They were on the goldfields in the very early days when it was much easier to find gold than in the later years of the gold rushes.
