Are there any electoral rolls or census for the 1860s in the Geelong Area. I am still trying to find my Grillet/Grellet connection in the area. Kaye www.bananatv.com/familytreechecklist.htm

Where do I find the Electoral rolls for Geelong and who would have been included on them? I am looking for an Edward Mellish and his family Ellen (Borrows/Borrowes). Edward Mellish I believe was in banking and finance in Geelong. Jo Mellish

Hi Susie Could you please circulate this request through your network: Seeking information on deaths re children of William and Jane Benham (arrived per Stebonheath 1853): 1 Jemima Appleton (nee Benham born 1844 Andover District Wiltshire) married Daniel Sutherland Appleton (1861/3264). 2 Reuben Benham born 1851 Andover District Wiltshire 3 Job Benham born Indented Head 1854/6880 William Benham's death certificate (1893/8717) informed that Jemima and Job were deceased by 1893 - Reuben did not get a mention - I have been unable to find any such registration on any of the Victorian or interstate indexes. Daniel Appleton, baker, died of apoplexy (1884/7838) on the Eastern Oval Ballarat East on 29/7/1884. His death certificate did not mention that Jemima was deceased. Thanks for any information. Lyall Brown, Penrith NSW

Hi SAndra, My Mary Ann was teh daughter of William Osborne convict exile on tthe Mailtalnd in 1846 and Maria Goodwin daughter of Convict Thomas Charles Goodwin and Sarah Harrington. Spencer had previously bee married to her older sister Elizabeth who had died in childbirth. WIlliam came from leek in Staffordshire. Where did your George com from? He arrived in Williamstown in Novemebr and I have not been able to find anything about until his marriage to Maria in Geelong in 1852. William was born c 1826 his father was GEORGE OSBORNE mother Sarah (Spilsbury?) He had at least one brother John b c 1828. It would be interesting if there was a connection. regards ----- Original Message ----- From: "SOMERS" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 5:07 PM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] Sawyers Arms Hotel > Hi Robyn > > I am interested in this posting...my research is OSBORNE.

Hi listers, My ancestor Spencer Clarke and hi ssecond wife Mary Ann nee OSborne, were at one times the publicans at this establishment. I gathered this inforamtion from 1) Spencer Clarke's death certificate, 1916 2) Geelong Cemeteries burial Index 1916 3) Son Spencer Osborne Clarke's WW1 enlistment papers.1916 I have current photographs of the hotel in Newtown but I have little information about the hotel in the period up to 1916. I have no idea how long Mary Ann styed there after Spencer's death and would be interested to know if there are any records which could assist me in finding more about the hotel and its residents at this time.

I have researched this family for a friend sometime ago but I am also stuck on Charles and his son. Margaret Descendants of Charles Foster Generation No. 1 1. CHARLES1 FOSTER He married REBECCA NAYLOR. Child of CHARLES FOSTER and REBECCA NAYLOR is: 2. i. CHARLES FRANCIS2 FOSTER, b. 1856, Mount Moriac. Generation No. 2 2. CHARLES FRANCIS2 FOSTER (CHARLES1) was born 1856 in Mount Moriac. He married MARY ELIZABETH PARSONS 1876, daughter of JAMES PARSONS and ALICE HANBY. She was born 1849, and died 1902 in Geelong Age 53. More About MARY ELIZABETH PARSONS: Burial: Highton Cemetery Met 2 194 More About CHARLES FOSTER and MARY PARSONS: Marriage: 1876 Children of CHARLES FOSTER and MARY PARSONS are: i.

JAMES SYDNEY FOSTER, b. 1888, Stawell.

Hello Bob I have looked up notes from the late Stewart McAdam's card index of inhabitants of the Barrabool Shire, and he has the following for a Charles Foster who could be your younger Charles: Foster, Charles Waurn Ponds Children: Edward 1894, Herbert 1897, Ruby 1900. He gives as his sources the ratebook entry for 1876, the Waurn Ponds School Register, and the Poundkeeper's Register 40 1878. If this is your Charles, it should give you a later date for his possible death. Hope this is of some use. Marion

I have sent Bob the listings from Pioneer, Federation and Edwardian CDs. Also suggested searching on http://online.justice.vic.gov.au/servlet/bdm_home Gillian

Hello Deidre, I guess that there have been hundreds( possibly thousands) of families involved with the Geelong Hospital throughout its history- Could you be a little more specific please..? In what capacity, what time frame etc." This could make your query much more fruitful... regards John Deirdre McDougall wrote: > Can skp please help me I am trying to find the surname of the family > involved with the Geelong hospital > Cheers > Deirdre > [email protected] > > >

Deirdre Will need more information as to what name you are referring to. Geelong was established as a town in 1838. The 'Geelong Infirmary and Benevolent Asylum' was opened in 1952. By 1924 it was the 'Geelong and District Hospital (Kitchener Memorial [for Lord Kitchener]) when the benevolent patients were transferred to Ballarat. In 1966 it became 'The Geelong Hospital' and in 1998 it became 'Barwon Health' with the amalgamation of The Geelong Hospital, Grace McKellar Centre, Surfcoast Community Health, Geelong Comm Health and Corio Comm Health.
