Biography

Trevarton Sholl is Notable.

Trevarton Charles Sholl was born on 7 July 1845 in Perth, Western Australia, the son of Mary Ann (Berckelman) Sholl (abt.1822-1889) and Robert John Sholl JP (1819-1886).^[1][2]

In 1865, while working as a government clerk under his father – who was Government Resident for the North District of Western Australia – Trevarton Sholl accompanied Alexander McRae on an expedition to the Glenelg River area. During this period he named the Berckelman River after his mother, Mary Ann Sholl, née Berckelman (1822–1889). Later in 1865, the Government Resident's camp was relocated from the short-lived Camden Harbour settlement to Mount Welcome (which became the basis of the town of Roebourne).^[3]

During an 1866 expedition with Charles Broadhurst, Sholl searched for pasture and natural harbours in the area around Exmouth Gulf.^[3]

Trevarton died on about March 1867,^[1] He had been a passenger on the Emma.^[4] The ship, a 116-tonne schooner which connected Fremantle and the North West of Australia, disappeared in the north of Western Australia.^{[5] [3][6]}
