After living here, he joined the NSW police, and later moved to Melbourne. How did he come to have such a large estate, and then fall to penury?

So we can now investigate the Tighes knowing they are relatives. The name Tighe is from southern Sligo, where JSW came from. However, Tighe's wife was Catherine Ford from Galway - JSW's mother-in-law was Catheirne Purcell, nee Forde, from Galway. Rowland and Oliver are references to the French epic poem 'Song of Roland'.
