Talk:Coulls

Athelstone
John Green Coulls was a successful coachbuilder in the early days of South Australia, a partner of Joshua Gurr, and did some work for John Ridley. He retired to Athelstone in the early 1850s.

Geoff Manning says the origin of the name is open to conjecture, but: "On 12 August 1848, Thomas Shepherd registered the purchase of sections 803 to 808 inclusive, Hundred of Adelaide south of the River Torrens and called the property 'Athelstone Estate'. Prior to returning to his native Scotland in 1852 he laid out the 'Village of Athelstone' and in the following year his attorneys, William Bartley and William Bakewell, solicitors, sold allotments on behalf of their principal. (See Manning's origin)" So the charming story that Athelstone was ever "At Helstone" - a reference to John and Daniel Coulls' roots at Helston in Cornwall is just that. It belongs in the same drawer as the story that Thebarton comes from "The Barton", ie. the barley field. (See Manning's origin) Doug butler (talk) 23:26, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
