We have been off researching other families and not checking our McDonalds. Have items re McDonald/McDiarmid etc. if interested. Have never been able to find anything about Ellen Diggins family. Believe Jeremiah Diggins ran a hotel near Miner's Rest where Archibald McDonald lived for a time, but haven't been able to substantiate this family story. All the best, Trevor.

Thank you, have just been advised who this E. Tyrrell is and it's not our relative. E Tyrrells have been exhausted in the pat and no record has been found that fits,. I'll keep looking for any odd E. Tyrrells interstate. Thanks so much. Vee

Again, thank you to those who so kindly wrote back, I did today call several places and feel perhaps it is worth while to follow up on a few things. There is no knowledge of the babies within our family, apart from one person hearing some mention of adoption, both babies were full term and both were pronounced dead two days after being born and they were born roughly two years apart. It is intriguing, but probably if adoption did occur very hard to trace. I am appreciative of the help and suggestions sent to me by listers. As may have been gathered, the woman in question is my mother, the babies were never mentioned in her lifetime to me, this may have been due to it being such a traumatic happening and very hard to talk about, or that somehow records might just have been changed and the babies adopted. A long shot, but I feel I need follow it further. One agency was kind enough to provide some links so shall follow up with those. How sad those times were for young women who gave birth outside marriage, no options for them, all very sad. Kindest regards and many thanks. Vee

Vee, all the best with your search. There was no social security back then and if family was unable to help out as well as when the Mother went to have the child if in a unmarried mothers home, it was highly pushed to the mothers to adopt the children out. Again these things were not talked about. My brother was adopted by my parents in 1962, the mother had no choice as family were unable to help her. Was very sad and very much hush hush in the early years. Girls now are so much luckier in that they can get support to help keep their babies.

I will give you a little of the background hoping it will be of interest. Betsy was my mothers youngest aunt who worked in hotels etc until 1917 when she met someone who said 'come to Australia and look after me'. Jack came to visit the Rentons my mothers family in Stainforth in1942 and his photograph hung on Grandmas sitting room wall for years. I have recollections of Betsy coming to the UK in 1950 to visit Jacks grave. A very sad story about a very plucky woman. Until today I had no idea of her married name so I have struggled trying to track her down. Now I need to dust off my passport to visit Belgium. I also need to find out if there were any more children-I think not but! Do you mind me asking if you have any interest in the family Again thank you Ray Smith Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My daughter came across this cemetery site, and there is a headstone there for an Elizabeth Ann Tyrrell and a William Tyrrell, would anyone have time to check deaths on cd at some stage. I'm not even sure where Barnawartha Cemetary might be. Thanks very much. Vee

Lyn, I am wondering if you mean Edith Jane not Edith Ann Thomson as there was an Edith Jane Thomson buried at Wangaratta aged 66 on 3 December 1965.
