• Notes

  Emigrated to Queensland in 1860. James was one of the original partners in the sawmilling and timber company, Wilson, Bartholomew and Company, founded in Maryborough, New Zealand in 1865. He died by drowning accidentally in the Mary River during a flood. He migrated from Scotland due to ill-health with his family. Prior to this he had managed sawmills in Scotland and Ireland.
