Thunderbolt did not go to America!

The evidence is irrefutable. The myth that Thunderbolt "lived on" – that he wasn't shot in 1870 and instead escaped to North America – has been demolished finally and irrevocably by American researcher, Stephen Ehat. A lawyer and highly respected genealogist, Stephen focused all of his research and analytical skills on the Thunderbolt-in-America/Canada question. The results of his analysis are published in his article Frederick Wordsworth Ward also known as "Captain Thunderbolt" never came to North America (click here).
    Thank you Stephen!
    Will it silence the Thunderbolt conspiracists? Unfortunately, Irrefutable evidence hasn't succeeded in doing so up to now, so it is unlikely that it will do so in the future. If you want to know why irrefutable evidence does not change the minds of "believers", see my new 'how to' book: HELP! HIstorical and Genealogical Truth: How do I separate fact from fiction?

Hi Carol

I love your work and found your book thoroughly enjoyable and informative. Having grown-up in the New England and with ancestors from around Uralla (including one great grandmother from there who was born in the 1860's and who lived until 1969) we were often told stories as children of his escapades in the area. Sadly, not all of them I suspect were true.

Anyway, thanks for your continuing work and also for sharing the work of Stephen Ehat. Funnily enough, since reading your book I and some other users on WikiTree have been in somewhat of an 'exchange of ideas' with Terry Wright who maintains the profiles there for Frederick Ward and Mary Ann Bugg. I was going to share the document written by Stephen but then found that he specifically mentions Terry's work (obviously not in a flattering way). I've decided to hold-off at present but will continue to push for a more balanced view on what happened to them both.

Cheers and thanks again

Peter
