Hi Carol, I had a relative there in 1911 - a few years back I applied for records from here through the Department of Family & Community Services. I dont know their address or details now but I think you'll find them if you do a 'Google'. You'll have to fill out various forms & maybe also have the signature of a close family member to obtain copies due to the FOI act. Sue Melbourne

Thanks Sue....all I could find on a Google was one reference to an enquiry into a previous matron and that was on the pro site....but thanks anyway I will pass this on to my relative who is doing the research Cheers Carol -----Original Message----- From: Sue Lowe [mailto:soux@bigpond.com] Sent: Wednesday, 15 March 2006 4:17 PM To: AUS-MELBOURNE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-MELB] Neglected childrens home Hi Carol, I had a relative there in 1911 - a few years back I applied for records from here through the Department of Family & Community Services.
