Notes

Joseph Fredrick Waldeck is the son of William and Eleanor Waldeck (nee Gooch) and was born in August 1870. Eleanor is the daughter of Joseph and Mary York (nee Jarvis) who arrived on the 20.08.1842 via the Simon Taylor.

Her first marriage was to George Gooch (arrived 28.12.1831 via the Egyptian). George Gooch died 3.7.1861 and then Eleanor married William Waldeck in 1864.
In 1886 Joe went to work as a 16 year old on George Joseph Gooch's Wandagee Station. The following year he resumed studies at Fremantle Grammar School. Joes first known involvement in droving was in !891 (21) when he and Drover Jones passed through Victoria Plains. He conducted another lift of sheep in 1893 from Wandagee Station. In 1894 he then ventured into mining.

After several years mining he entered into a partnership with William Septimus Snook and they took over the lease of Wooramel Station. During November 1907 this partnership was dissolved and 2 more partners were taken on, namely James McCarthy and Thomas Statham. The company was then known as Snook, Waldeck and Co. Wooramel Station was eventually sold in June 1923 to Mr Ernst Anderson Hall. Joe spent 12 plus years droving and his postal address was via Minganew. [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
