Evelyn These are on the indexes the certificate has the full name. But you have Fitzroy, a suburb in Melbourne, Ararat, along the Western Highway about 2 hours drive from Melbourne and about half way to Horsham, Newport, also in Melbourne (I think) and St Kilda also Melbourne, the MPNA I believe to be a hospital in Melbourne as one of mine died there and I found an inquest for him.

Carmel, you have been very helpful. Whilst I realise I could find the full place name on the cert. It is quite costly when you have 13 children who also had 13 children etc etc. I am grateful for the help from this list and wish all many happy findings this year. regards Evelyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carmel M Reynen" <fcfibre1@bigpond.com>
