Frederick Wolseley
Frederick York Wolseley (16 March 1837 – 8 January 1899) was an Irish-born New South Wales inventor and woolgrower who invented and developed the first commercially successful sheep shearing machinery. It revolutionised the wool industry.
The Murray Shire Council has erected a monument to him where he lived at the time, referring to his invention: "It has become part of the rich history of the wool industry and is now perpetuated in poem and song."
==Family==
Born in Kingstown (now Dún Laoghaire) in County Dublin Ireland, Frederick was the third son of the seven surviving children of Major Garnet Joseph Wolseley (1780–1840) of The King's Own Scottish Borderers (25th Foot) and of the family of Mount Wolseley, co. Carlow, and Frances Anne (1801–1883) daughter of William Smith of Dublin. His eldest brother became Field Marshal Wolseley and a hero of the Victorian era, another brother became General Sir George Wolseley.〔Joseph Jackson Howard, ''Visitation of England and Wales (Volume 19)'', p.10〕 Their father died in 1840 leaving their mother little more than his army pension and the brothers were educated at the local day school instead of being sent to England.〔Halik Kochanski, ''Sir Garnet Wolseley: Victorian hero'' The Hambledon Press, London 1999 ISBN 1 85285 188 0〕 The seven children remained close-knit throughout their lives.〔Ian J. Itter, compiler, ''Wolseley, Letters concerning Fred'', Swan Hill Victoria, Australia, 2007 ISBN 978-0-646-48076-3〕
He married his nurse, Ellen Elizabeth Clarke (1850–1922), in Melbourne in 1892. She looked after him through his long final illness. They had no children.〔
