Hi Adrienne, I can't really help you except to add that the children born at "Yarra" were probably born at Yarra Glen, a lovely little town some 10-20km from Healesville, where my brother now lives! I'm not sure of the distance between the two towns but I used to easily cycle occasionally from one to the other as a teenager, having grown up in nearby Croydon. Also, not sure if it's a typo, but Nagambie would be where the Doyle's are tied to. (A truck drove through the more-than-a-century-old church about a month ago and demolished it).

Had children James,1865,Thomas 1867,John 1869 and Winifred 1871 all born at Kyneton; Christiana,1873 and Ellen Ann 1875 both at Ballarat; Francis Patrick 1878,Josephine 1879, Ernest 1881 and Henry Edward 1885 at Yarra. Thomas and Mary eventually settled at Healesville where Thomas worked for the town council and he died in 1907 and Mary died in 1917. > James married Margaret Eleanor O'BRIEN; and that line is well recorded. I am looking for the marriages or any information on the other children. I have a letter which indicates that Francis (Frank) married Anne ? in December 1901 0r 1902. Also it seems Winifred may have married a SWEENEY some time between 1903 and 1917.There are possible ties to the DOYLE family of Bundalong and Nagumbie and also to BLACKMORE maybe in Tasmania. > Any snippets of information of clues very welcome. > Adrienne Newton > > > ==== AUS-IRISH Mailing List ==== > I knew that I was taking genealogy too seriously when I turned up at a cemetery search with a shovel > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >
