Background
Many George Evans arrived in Victoria in the early 1850s so it is difficult to ascertain when Evans emigrated.
Goldfields Involvement, 1854
George and Charles Evans signed the Benden Sherritt Hassell compensation case for his claim of injuries on 28 November 1854 when the 12th Regiment marched into Ballarat past the Eureka Lead.[1] George signed as "G. B. Evans'.
Post 1854 Experiences
In July 1855, with Wheeler and Fletcher, Evans started the Ballarat Trumpeter. The printing office was on the Main Road, not far from the Eastern Market.
Fletcher and Evans signed a Petition of householders of Ballaarat requesting the establishment of a Municipality in 1855.
