The 1839 voyage of Robert Wallace and Helen to New South Wales began a split in the family with descendants in Victoria and New South Wales. A son, Fergusson Wallace, and his relatives later traced the grave of Helen Wallace at the Dunmore Estate, and Robert Wallace’s grandson, stationed in Melbourne, uncovered a long-hidden tomb nearby and connected with Maitland Mercury files.
