Description

Edwin Tonkin Tamblyn (1863-1928) migrated to Australia with his mother and brother in 1874. The family settled at Moonta, South Australia, where Edwin and his brother, Harry, worked at the mines. At the age of 23 Edwin Tamblyn arrived in Palmerston (Darwin) to work at the Daly River copper mine. He was a successful miner and moved from labouring to management by the 1890s, and was then appointed to the Mining Board in 1897. By 1901 he was the manager of mines for the Associated Financial Corporation with his headquarters at the Cosmopolitan Mine in Pine Creek. Tamblyn remained in Pine Creek for 20 years. He married Mabel Bell (1874-1958) in 1908 and they had three children; Norman (1911-2000), Jessie, and Mary (1916-1999). In 1921 the family left the Northern Territory and moved to Perth where they built a stone house and ran an orchard. After Edwin's death in 1928 Mabel ran the orchard until her death in 1958.
