Hello Sandra I have been away over Easter and some messages have been deleted, but I saved yours to make a comment or two. According to a list of ministers published in the "A Century of Victorian Methodism" ed. C I Benson 1933, there was a Rev Charles Lane, born in Dorset 1823, entered the ministry in 1856, died 1910. The church would probably have been the present Wesley Uniting Church at Yarra St. on the north-west corner of Little Ryrie St. It was the central Wesleyan Methodist church for Geelong, although there was another early church at South Geelong (Moorabool St), but by 1869 the "South" would have been added to the name. After the various Methodist groups reunited in 1902, the name became the Yarra Street Methodist Church, and in about the 1950s it was renamed Wesley Church - becoming "Uniting" when the Methodists, Presbyterians, and Congregationalists came together in 1977. It now incorporates both Wesley Church and the Wesley Centre which provides counselling and other services. I wonder whether this Annie Maria ADCOCK might have been a widow? An Anne Maria CAMPION, b about 1829, is said to have married Henry ADCOCK in Jan 1854. He was a nurseryman, and one of the three founding trustees of what is now St Luke's Church, Highton, whose history some of us are writing at the moment. Henry died of diabetes in 1863, aged 36, leaving, so I am told, four children - Edward b 1855. Clement 1857, Annie Maria 1858, and Gertrude Helena 1859. The younger Annie Maria would of course be too young to marry in 1869. I'd be interested to learn of your connection with them. Best wishes Marion

Wendy This is a long shot but may fit your puzzle one day. I have a George Knight in my tree - maybe an ancestor. The 'Francis' is my line and this family are from the Ballarat area. I knew both William (1903) and George (1905) as elderly men. William was a bachelor and I may still have contacts for George's relatives if you think this is worth pursing; ie could your George James be the same person who married Harriet Francis ??!!! Perhaps I am drawing a long bow! 1 George Knight . +Harriet Elizabeth Francis 1877 - 1947 ..... 2 Violet May Knight 1901 - 1904 ..... 2 William Knight 1903 - 1988 ..... 2 George Knight 1905 - ? ......... +Alice Moriere - 1981 ............ 3 Kevin Knight 1941 - ............ 3 Alice Knight 1944 - Carollyn Williams ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 5:44 PM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] George Knight > Hi Wendy, > > I had a similar problem with one of my ancestor couples where they didn't > say what counties they were from in England.

Hi Wendy, I had a similar problem with one of my ancestor couples where they didn't say what counties they were from in England. They had 10 children in Victoria and I had purchased 8 of them before I got a clue as to which county mother was from and on the 10 it told me where father was from. Both parents death certs also gave me their county of origin. I also found these details on their death and funeral notices in the paper. Have you found Georges Immigration Record? Could he have been a convict? Could he have been married to someone else in Australia perhaps she died and he then remarried. He is quite a lot older that Jane when they married. She being just 18yrs. and he is 38yrs old. best wishes Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wendy Taylor" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 11:49 AM Subject: [GEELONG] George Knight > Hi guys, > Have a mystery George Knight/s in my tree.

Hello Does anyone have any information on the Rev. Alexander Stewart who died in the Geelong area 9 Feb 1889 and is buried at Golf Hill Cemetery. Thank you for any information. Joan

Hi guys, Have a mystery George Knight/s in my tree. Born in 1812. Has listed birthplace only as England ( what a helpful soul, a county would have helped). Married Jane Mc Cabe in Melbourne Australia 1850. Jane born in Ireland (no county there either ) 1835. Children to this couple all born in Geelong Australia Elizabeth 1852, Mary Ann 1853, William Alfred 1856, Elizabeth margaret 1859, Amelia Emma 1861, George James 1863, Frederick Charles 1866, Margaret Ellen 1869. Childrens names may provide clues. If anyone is missing George from England please let me know. My cynical nature (after years of research) thinks he may have left a wife and children behind in England. Also if there are any of George's descendents on the Geelong list, would be great to hear from them. I am descended from his daughter Mary Ann Regards Wendy Taylor ( Aus)

John It is a home for the elderly and frail. Go to http://maps.google.com and type 'hamlyn au' (no quotes) in the search bar.

Hello Listers Could I please ask some kind person whenever they are at a library which holds newspapers, if they could look up a newspaper death/funeral notice in any Geelong newspapers if they are available for William STEWART/STUART who died at Geelong 19 April 1869 after an accident by falling from a dray. With a bit more cheek, could I also ask for a look up for the death/funeral notice of his wife Helen STEWART/STUART who was buried 17.8.1910, both buried at Geelong Eastern Cemetery. Thank you for any help. Joan in NSW, Happy Easter to all.
