Hi List, Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, looking for some children that were made wards of the state in early 1900's from Gympie. One later died in Ipswich in 1916. If they went to an orphanage first where might they have gone and is there anywhere online i can search? regards Kerry

One possibly was Nudgee Orphanage Brisbane Colin > Hi List, > Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, looking for some > children that were made wards of the state in early 1900's from Gympie.

Kerry there was also an orphanage in Rockhampton, because there were children sent there from Mackay from the Bucasia Orphanage in the 1800's when it closed down.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin Larter" <cjlilarter@tadaust.org.au> To: <aus-qld@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 07, 2013 7:51 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] Wards of the state > One possibly was Nudgee Orphanage Brisbane > Colin >> Hi List, >> Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, looking for some >> children that were made wards of the state in early 1900's from Gympie. >> One >> later died in Ipswich in 1916.

Thanks Jennifer

HI Kerry, Queensland State Archives has a couple of indexes online up until the early 1900's they might appear on these http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/Researchers/Indexes/Orphanages/Pages/Default.aspx There were many around Brisbane in that time... one of the major general ones would have been the Diamantina. Most religious orders would have had one however.. so best look for the families religious denomination and look for one in that "department" so to speak. Queensland State Archives hold the admission registers for quite a number of orphanages and infants homes. It would be worth searching their catalogue. http://www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/Search/BasicSearch.aspx I do hope this helps!
