Arthur William CARLIER was born around 1871,[1] possibly in Australia,[2] the son of Richard CARLIER.[3]
Arthur married Elizabeth BRUTON on 3 August 1892 in Adelaide SA (at the residence of the Rev E G Day).[3] The couple had three children.[4][5]
He was employed as a "tobacco twister" at Dixon's Tobacco Company, Adelaide.[4]
He was reported to have jumped overboard on 13 March 1900 from the steamer Paroo while travelling from Adelaide to Fremantle (sometimes reported as Albany, so perhaps the steamer was making a stop there), in Western Australia. He was travelling to Fremantle for Dixon's Tobacco Company with a colleague. The reported position (35 degrees 21 minutes South 124 degrees 37 minutes East) is about 300 kms south-east of Esperance, in international waters off Western Australia. He left a wife, Elizabeth, and three children.[6][4][5]
His body was recovered from the water. On the next day, 14 March 1900, he was buried at sea after a service by the ship's captain, Captain Medley.[4]
