Hello to Richard & Bruce
I have only done very limited research into Thunderbolt as my stepfather Arthur Comber was interested in the man.
Arthur's uncle was Thomas Mason who was one of Thunderbolts apprentices his father was Thomas Edward Comber who married Theresa Tolly/Tolley on 24 Feb 1909. Theresa sister Charlotte Tolly/Tolley married 1889 both marriages took place in the Armidale area.
Arthur always told me that Thunderbolt escaped to England though I have never looked into it. I will have to check but about 15 years back just prior to his death Arthur gave me a letter written by Thomas Mason with some details in it and a book. The book I gave to a bushranger impersonator the letter is still here amongst my files I will have a look and if I can locate it (can't promise) I would be only to happy to give it to one of you.
Other family names that connect to Mason are: COMBER, TOLLY, NORTHEY, GEARY.
The only other item I can remember in the latter was a lady named Mrs Blanch who owned a public house at Uralla.
You most probably know all the above I have sent this info so you will know I did check some of the info Arthur gave me handed down from his mother and father.
Warm Regards
Hazel

Death at Boroughbridge
The rebel forces were halted by loyalist troops at the wooden bridge at Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, where Humphrey de Bohun, leading an attempt to storm the bridge, met his death on 16 March 1322.
Although the details have been called into question by a few historians, his death may have been particularly gory. As recounted by Ian Mortimer:[2 - Mortimer, The Greatest Traitor, page 124.]
"[The 4th Earl of] Hereford led the fight on the bridge, but he and his men were caught in the arrow fire. Then one of de Harclay's pikemen, concealed beneath the bridge, thrust upwards between the planks and skewered the Earl of Hereford through the anus, twisting the head of the iron pike into his intestines. His dying screams turned the advance into a panic."'
Humphrey de Bohun may have contributed to the failure of the reformers' aims. There is evidence that he suffered for some years, especially after his countess's death in 1316, from clinical depression.
[3 - See Conway-Davies, 115, footnote 2, from a contemporary chronicler's account of Humphrey de Bohun, Cotton MS. Nero C. iii, f. 181, "De ce qe vous auez entendu qe le counte de Hereford est moreis pensifs qil ne soleit." "There were some. . . [fine] qualities about the earl of Hereford, and he was certainly a bold and able warrior, though gloomy and thoughtful."]

Elizabeth of Rhuddlan (sometime anachronistically Elizabeth Plantagenet; 7 August 1282 - 5 May 1316) was the eighth and youngest daughter of Edward I of England and Eleanor of Castile. Of all of her siblings, she was closest to her younger brother Edward II of England, as they were only two years apart in age.
First marriage
In April 1285 there were negotiations with Floris V for Elizabeth's betrothal to his son John I, Count of Holland. The offer was accepted and John was sent to England to be educated. On 8 January 1297 Elizabeth was married to John at Ipswich. In attendance at the marriage were Elizabeth's sister Margaret, her father, Edward I of England, her brother Edward, and Humphrey de Bohun. After the wedding Elizabeth was expected to go to Holland with her husband, but did not wish to go, leaving her husband to go alone.
After some time travelling England, it was decided Elizabeth should follow her husband. Her father accompanied her, travelling through the Southern Netherlands between Antwerp, Mechelen, Leuven and Brussels, before ending up in Ghent. There they remained for a few months, spending Christmas with her two sisters Eleanor and Margaret. On 10 November 1299, John died of dysentery, though there were rumours of his murder. No children had been born from the marriage.
Second marriage
On her return trip to England, Elizabeth went through Brabant to see her sister Margaret. When she arrived in England, she met her stepmother Margaret of France, whom Edward had married whilst she was in Holland. Reportedly, they became inseparable. On 14 November 1302 Elizabeth was married to Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford, 3rd of Essex, also Constable of England, at Westminster Abbey.
Issue
The children of Elizabeth and Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford are:
Hugh de Bohun (September 1303 - 1305)
Lady Eleanor de Bohun (17 October 1304 - 1363), married James Butler, 1st Earl of Ormonde and Thomas Dagworth, 1st Baron Dagworth.
Humphrey de Bohun (b&d 1305) (buried with Mary or Margaret)
Mary or Margaret de Bohun (b&d 1305) (buried with Humphrey)
John de Bohun, 5th Earl of Hereford (23 November 1306 - 1335)
Humphrey de Bohun, 6th Earl of Hereford (6 December c. 1309 - 1361)
Margaret de Bohun, 2nd Countess of Devon (3 April 1311 - 1391), married Hugh Courtenay, 2nd Earl of Devon
William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton (1312-1360). Twin of Edward. Married Elizabeth de Badlesmere.
Edward de Bohun (1312-1334). Twin of William.
Eneas de Bohun, (1314 - after 1322), when he's mentioned in his father's will.
Isabel de Bohun (b&d 5 May 1316)
Later life
During Christmas 1315, Elizabeth, who was pregnant with her eleventh child, was visited by her sister-in-law Isabella of France. This was a great honour, but the stress of it may have caused unknown health problems that later contributed to Elizabeth's death in childbirth. On 5 May 1316 she went into labour, giving birth to her daughter Isabella. Both Elizabeth and her daughter Isabella died shortly after the birth, and were buried together in Waltham Abbey.
