Biography
Prosper de Mestre was born 29th December 1821 at Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He was a son of Jean Charles Prosper de Mestre and Mary Ann Black.
He married Janetta Morisset in 1850 at (church code CL) New South Wales.[1]
He passed away on 24th April 1863 at Millbank, New South Wales.[2] The Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW), on 1st May 1863, carried this obituary: It is my painful duty to record the death of Prosper De Mestre, Esq., J.P., of Terara, who died yesterday morning (Friday) after a protracted illness. Men like him can be ill spared from this district. His death will be universally regretted. He was a man who had few enemies, for poor Prosper was too kind-hearted and forbearing to harbor ill-will or conceal enmity. It is to be hoped that he has gone to a brighter and better world. The prayers of his fellow beings follow his remains."[3]
