HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

p418. Thomas Sutcliffe Mort (1816-1878)

p280. ....in 1849 Guilfoyle and his family, wife Charlotte (nee Delafosse) and son William, migrated to Sydney aboard the Steadfast. He established a nursery in Kellick Street, Refern, which soon failed. He was then fortunate in obtaining the patronage of T. S. Mort, the wealthy industrialist and active horticulturist..... Mort was president of the Horticultural Society of New South Wales, the publisher of the magazine and Guilfoyle was listed in it as one of the ‘good and first-rate gardeners’, formerly employed at Greenoaks. Mort owned land at Double Bay, down the hill from Greenoaks, where he had his vegetable garden, orchard, and offices and Guilfoyle occupied a cottage there at the corner of South and Ocean streets. By 1851 he had established a nursery on three and a half acres (1.4ha) of land belonging to Mort.
