Thanks Colleen It is something we have toyed with. What puts me off a little on this one is that the couple reared a few foster children, making me think they would have been registered carers but it does not mean they were not family. there have been some great suggestions and lots of avenues to follow, all are very welcomed. I will let all know how we fair on this one as it could come up again.

Hi Carmel, I spoke to my Mum regarding Foster families during the 1940's and earlier periods and she said 2 out of 3 foster families were "family", she said Aunties, Cousins etc would take in children belonging to family and raise them as their own, the child would rarely ever learn their true identity. Maybe you could take a closer look at family surrounding the child. Just a thought.

Hi All, I have been given the marriage of Mary Western to Joseph Charles King the year was 1886 I was given that the Birth Place of Joseph was Somoa. Would some one be able to give me the birth place of Mary Pratt Western. Many Thanks Carol

Many Thanks to all for your help with the marriage of Joseph and Mary Regards Carol

Thanks Lenore I also have a couple of other ways for my friend to trace the records, there is a will of the foster parents, who raised her from a baby to an adult. also suggested going to BDMs with the date of birth. Unfortunately the fostered child has died but her daughter is trying to find out more, as there seemed to be health problems and she is worried for one of her sons, but also just to know who they are. Her husband was also adopted at birth and has traced his mother, not a nice move, but at least he knows who his is now and has good contact with his brothers.

Jenni, Rather dismissed that idea from my mind when the notion arose.

If you get the chance, could you please tell me who is buried at the Old Melbourne Cemetery in the Jennings plot (C of E-24). I know Thomas Jennings (d.1883) and his son William Andrew Jennings (d.1870) are there, I am looking for Thomas's wife Maria, I cannot find any record of her death, which would most likely have been between 1850 and 1861. As Thomas was an undertaker it seems strange there is no record. I hope I am not asking too much, regards Gladys Raymond W.

In that case I say they would be now under the foot paths as the fence went right up to the footpath. I can also remember the old iron fence that used to surround the Flagstaff gardens site very much the same as the Melbourne General Cemetery site at Carlton now.

OK I've just been in contact with the Department of Human Services and ask that all files be made available to me to look at for the old Melbourne Market site and also the old Flagstaff Gardens site which many would not know was even before the market site, but as soon as the files are pulled from archive they have said they will ring me to let me come and go over the files and copy anything that would be of help to our fellow researchers mind you I also have to show what I want to use and get permission to use it bull*hit but that's government departments for you!
