You could try the Hamilton Historical society - they used to be in the main street (Gray St) but haven't been there for many years. Don't know if they have an online presence - Google it. Have you tried any Victorian PO directories for the years after his arrival - assuming you have confirmed that via the passenger lists? Maybe online but if not your State Library should have them and your State Genealogy society may have them.

Good Morning I am trying to locate John Ralston arrived in 1868. Now I am unsure if he went to Hamilton Victoria. Can someone please help as this is a brick wall for me.

Hi Libby Try this link from PROV; there is also a search facility for Assisted Immigrants so you may need to check both. http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=23 Cheers Jenni ----- Original Message ----- From: <Libby.Morrah@csiro.au> To: <AUS-MELBOURNE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 4:17 PM Subject: [AUS-MELBOURNE] RALSTON > Hi Everyone > > Can someone help me find information for the passenger list for the ship > 'Great Britain' 1868. > Would I be able to get a copy of this! > > Cheers > Libby > > Libby Morrah > Administration Officer > CSIRO Property Services > 26 Dick Perry Avenue, Kensington WA 6151 > P O Box 1130, Bentley WA 6102 > Phone: (08) 6436 8822 Fax: (08) 6436 8666 > Mobile: 0407 044 724 > Email: Libby.Morrah@csiro.au > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > AUS-MELBOURNE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Marie If the birth was registered then you should be able to look for it and purchase a copy online from https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=getHistIdxSearchCriteria . I think it is about $17 which is cheaper than some states eg SA.

I have checked the following source:- Digger - Pioneer Index Victoria 1836-1888 Matthew Willmot - is not listed Matthew Willmott is listed Father: James Mother: Agnes Powes Born in 1859 in Acot Reg no: 19437 I do not know if the above is linked to your family Please beware that there may be mistakes when transcibers record records. Are you able to give me the names of the parents so I can cross reference it. Do you have his date of death - I can check that for you too? Do you know what suburb he lived in? Where are you from? cheers Maria Melbourne On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 2:28 PM, Marie Cooper <minbalup@ihug.co.nz> wrote: > I have the above uncle born St Kilda 1859 the only way to find his full > birth date I guess is to > purchase the birth certificate.

I have the above uncle born St Kilda 1859 the only way to find his full birth date I guess is to purchase the birth certificate. Is there another way i.e. perhaps on a Cd? Not being mean just so many dates to seek trying to cut the costs a little. Cheers Marie

Hi All, Thanks for your contributions to my query re Melb Age -- BD&M notices. Unfortunately NLA newspaper indexing will take a while to be almost current and Ryerson Index for Victoria seems to have commenced about 2000 (I stand to be corrected).

Just google NLA beta, all the age papers and others will come up, you can filter by paper, year, and type of article, at this stage only up to about 1950.
