William Samuel GUY m 1887 Blanche Margaret CAUSON
William Samuel GUY was born 18 Jan 1859 at Kangaroo Gully (now known as Berringa), near Smythesdale, Victoria, eldest son of William Walter GUY and Isabella HOCKEY.
William Samuel's birth registration has not been found but his date of birth was recorded on a document from the Board of Examiner's for Engine Drivers which was granted on 19 Sep 1884. This Certificate of Service as an Engine Driver entitled him 'to drive any engine used for mining purposes, except a Winding Engine.'
William Samuel GUY died aged 49 years on 11 Jun 1908 of 'Miners' Complaint' at Ballarat District Hospital.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

This is to certify that W S Guy is personally known to me as a good practical miner with a thorough knowledge of mining in all its branches. Mr Guy was at one time acting manager of the Jubilee Gold Mining Company Scarsdale, and he was subsequently appointed manager of the Jubilee Number One Company, which position he held until the mine ceased working.
I can confidently recommend Mr Guy to anyone requiring the services of an up to date Mine Manager, and would be pleased to give a personal reference if required.
