Chris: My husband also had two brothers that were on the Water Lily in 1853 from Azores to Australia. They were gold miners in the Crestwick area. They were teen agers also and through researching, I learned they went with their father and the father's brother in law. The names were Jacintho Jose de Lima and Jose Jacintho de Lima. The father was Antonio Jose de Lima and his brother in law was J. Borges.
That ship arriving in October (I think) was full of people from the Azores, judging from the Portuguese names. Who knows that our ancestors might have known and worked together. the Lima's were partners in The Humbug Hill Sluicing Company. I don't know what happened to the company. Both brothers returned to the Azores. One of them married an English girl, Charlotte Staley who had an 8 year old son who had passed away. They were married less than a year when Charlotte also died and he buried her in the same site; I have picture of the gravestone. Charlotte was a fruitier and owned a store on Albert Street. Jacintho advertised sale of the store in the Crestwick and Clunes Register and Advertiser selling the store and belongings and returned to the Azores after her death. Maybe, we will find some connection.
