It is possible, but not certain, that this is the same William Wilmott … The Jeweler’s Circular-Weekly, Western Supplement 6 March 1901: ‘W W Wilmot, a native of Tasmania, aged 39 years, and a jeweler by trade, committed suicide aboard the American ship Kennebec in Seattle, Wash., harbor, a few moments prior to the vessel starting for Sydney. It is believed that Wilmot had been in the jewellery business at Seattle lately, as among his effects were numerous receipted bills showing his good credit with wholesale houses in Chicago. Wilmot had been in the employ of Albert Hansen as an expert watchmaker during the holiday seasons.’
