I came across a list of the fifty greatest
Canadian inventions of all time and right between the snowblower
and instant mashed potatoes
at number 38 is the self-propelled combine harvester.
The inventor-
Thomas Carroll! Now I did some further research into this Thomas Carroll and discovered that this inventor of number 38 on the top 50 list of
Canadian inventions was born in Bullengarook, near Gisborne, Victoria. That's Australia! Well it turns out that his business interests took him to
Toronto where he met his future wife and he then became a Canadian citizen. The two spent their time between Canada, Argentina, and Australia. I thought the connections were too good to leave out of this O'Carroll Clan Blog. The name, Australia, Toronto, and our family's roots in agriculture. I hope this blog will make some more connections for the O'Carroll's. Look forward to your posts to the blog!
