Caroline married Frederick SALE (1857-1946), of Hobart, in 1879. The family report that Frederick SALE was born on the 16 December 1855 (GRO ref: Solihull 6d 390) in the Solihull district of England.

Caroline and Frederick give two different addresses. Bald Hills, Sulky, and Daisy Hill, are now rural 'areas' on the map rather than the gold mining towns they may have been. Whilst both locations appear to be Federation bungalows in a paddock, Sulky, 3.3km from Bald Hills is the smaller of two small communities. There is no obvious sign of work for a bricklayer though the expanding Creswick, once a gold mining town 7.5km from Bald Hills, would have been a source of employment and shopping. However the couple stayed at their two different addresses until 1928 when they moved to Melbourne.
At the time William Blackman, Caroline's brother-in-law, was working on a farm. His marriage certificate, dated April 24th 1872, states that the ceremony was at Bald Hills, Creswick. The Presbyterian Minister of Creswick officiated. Today, there is no mention of a Bald Hills church.
The Australian Electoral Roll 1903-1977, available on Ancestry, records their homes and occupations in the 1928 Roll as:
which is now a modern building on the plot. After Caroline's death, in 1931, Frederick moved to:
Caroline died on 05 July 1930 in Cauldfield, Victoria aged 75 (Victoria BMD 8870/1930).

Accessed Trove, 20 September 2017 | Dr. Philpots interested his audience by showing the photographs of his little sons, who had been brought up on plain and wholesome diet, and who certainly are splendid specimens of childhood. Apropos, the younger is to be baptised at St. Agnes' Church of England, Glenhuntly, on April 16, and one of his godfathers is to be Mr. W. Linford Smith, of Pittsburgh, Pa., U.S.A. Mr. and Mrs. Philpots realise that he cannot be present to take part in the ceremony and therefore they have asked him to read the service at the appointed hour, regulating it by the difference between American and Australian times. |
