Name/TitleJames Connell, & John Connell.
About this objectThis account of the activities of James Connell, written in 1975 by a descendant, endeavours to correct misconceptions regarding James and one John Connell who were both hoteliers and pioneers in early Melbourne. The compiler cites documentary evidence to show that particular landmarks, eg Connell's Creek and Connell Street in Hawthorn, were named by James Connell. Government records are quoted to identify the two men. The second part of the document deals with John Connell who probably was unrelated to James, but who also owned hotels, 'The Queens Arms' and the 'Hawthorn' Hotel in Hawthorn, this occasioning the confusion between the two men.
