He financed an expedition to discover the fate of Sir John Franklin who was lost while searching for the Northwest Passage, and the Grinnell Peninsula on Devon Island is named after him.
He decided to settle in the west of Port Phillip District (now the Western district of Victoria), but not enjoying the life, went to Melbourne, where he was offered the position of private secretary to John Franklin, then governor of Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania).
Franklin was the son of Sir John Franklin of Willesden Middlesex and his wife Elizabeth Purefoy, daughter of George Purefoy of Wadley Buckinghamshire and was baptised at Willesden on 20 July 1630.
The graveyard contains the tomb of Isabella Gill, wife of Rev John Philip Gill and only daughter of Sir John Franklin pioneer of the Northwest Passage.
