Hi Nora Elizabeth THOM (nee STEWART) is my husband's 3 x Great Aunt, his line extending from her brother Gideon STEWART.

If you are interested I would be delighted to compare notes further.

Trevor - Try this link, don't know if it will help but records of some sort are indexed here. Just scroll down the page a bit. http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/access/online.htm Denise

Hello Trevor, Can't help you much except for some info from Vision & Realisation (Education Dept book which has histories of Vic schools). The book confirms that three schools operated at Rushworth during the period you are interested in. A National school operated from 1858 to 1870, a Presbyterian school operated from 1859 to 1872, and these were replaced by a state school in 1872. It doesn't say exactly where they were located, but that they served the mining community in the area. Of no use to you in Perth, but the Public Records Office in Melbourne would possibly be the best place for the old school records.

Hello Listers, Does any kind soul know of schools in Rushworth, particularly in the vicinity of Cockatoo Reef which is along Jones St., opposite the site of 'Smiths the Union' Hotel. I understand the original town was around this area. Have school rolls survived from here for the period 1860-1880? Have other researchers had any success with finding these records? My family names from Cockatoo Reef mine are: James Johnston and wife Jessie (maiden name Jack) & children Christina,b.1859, Lewis,b.1862, John,b.1863, James,b.1866, Alexander,b.1869, Jessie,b.1871 (my grandmother). All births were at the mine. Any help gratefully received. sincere thanks, Trevor Worth (in Perth) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hello list, I am hoping that someone will be able to assist me to track down information about my ggg grandparents Robert and Eliza AITKEN (nee MURRAY) who were flour millers in Bacchus Marsh around the 1850s. My gg grandmother, Mary AITKEN, was born in Bacchus Marsh on 10 February 1859, other siblings unknown. Mary married William DOWNES who was a merchant in flour and similar products, so perhaps her father and future husband had business dealings and that is how they met. According to Mary's birth certificate her parents came from Scotland (possibly from Islay). Robert AITKEN was born about 1823, Elizabeth in 1829, and they were married in Scotland about 1848. A likely looking IGI record suggests they were married on 15 July 1848 at the High Church, Paisley, Renfrew. I am interested in finding out when they arrived in Australia and any business/directory information that may exist for them in Bacchus March. Also, any newspaper notices, such as obituaries (I do not know when either of them died). Liz Phillips Canberra elizabeth.phillips@dfat.gov.au

This is my first time on the list & not very good at the geography of Australia, so bare with me if I'm at the wrong list. While in Galashiels, Scotland last week I came across grave for Catherine Elder married to Alexander Melrose. Their son William married Jane Slott Dobson, who died at Geelong Victoria 1926. William Melrose died at Geelong in 1947. Are there any family of the Melrose around? I'm researching the family name Elder. Any help welcome Bob Elder

Hello from Melbourne. Is anyone researching these names in the WOODEND area?: William HAIME. Married my GGAunt Christian CUNNING circa 1851 and after her death in 1862, he married ANNA MORGAN in 1863. John GRAY (GREY on some records) Married my GGAunt Marion CUNNING 21 JAN 1859. Their son John was buried in WOODEND Cemetary in 1875 Cheers, Bob Cunning

Hello Everyone, This is to let everyone know of a useful site available for Australian researchers. The site is OzGen and holds the Australian Surnames Forum which allows uers to post their genealogical surname interests for every state in Australia, including Victoria. It also holds the Church Photo Project, with the aim of getting photos of every church in Australia and also has useful genealogical information for each state in Australia. The website is: http://www.oz-gen.com Kindest Regards, Chani Webmaster, oz-gen.com

Hi Kathy Any idea which ship ? I'm slowly building up info on the Gilmore, arr 1841 and which seemed to bring half of Tipperary to Kilmore.

Hi Amanda, We've been in touch before about other things. Yes, St. Malachy's in Blackwood is still there (or at least it was a few years ago). I have a photo of it (not a really interesting looking church - weatherboard, fairly plain) which my cousin took around 1998-1999. Can email to you if you wish, but it's nothing startling. I don't think I have anything about its history.
