Hello Ada I really meant to answer privately as I don't think the subject would be elligable for Geelong mailing list. I have a research letter from a man in USA who said John Edward Mercer Ewart Clark Leask ( boy I think if we found him we'd know him ) was born 13 Jan 1907 in Geelong. On the birth cert it said his father was James Leask & mother Margaret. Father was a vicar in Williamstown. This is where you come in. He is also looking for the birth of Henry Leask 30 June 1913. We don't have this. Why would a son be born in Geelong when they lived in Williamstown? I suppose it could happen. He said he thinks they ended up in Russia. Bad times to be going there. He said he is willing to pay as he told me in previous contact by email. I could foreward the letter he sent me if you'd like to take over. He thinks he was C/E. His email is John H. Harden jayharden@mindspring.com. Let me know your postal address if you think you could help.

Hi Margaret, I think your best bet would be either the Geelong Advertiser Index (Geelong Heritage Centre) or the Argus ....... Argus, 30th July 1858, p. 8 ...... Tenders wanted - masons' work of a church at Duneed, near Geelong. The Architect was Nathaniel BILLING. There may be "acceptance of tender" notices after this date as well. Another reference from the Geelong Advertiser 4th April 1863 ....... Drysdale Wesleyan Church, foundation stone laid 31/3/1863 (?), land provided by James LEATHERDALE. A.M. HOPE, Mt Duneed was contractor. Was A.M. HOPE any relation to John Parker HOPE? Does the church still exist? Was it one destroyed in the bushfires of 1944 (a Methodist Church was burnt down then and not rebuilt)? There may be more details mentioned in the Geelong Advertiser following the fires if so. As I said, the Geelong Advertiser Index would probably be your best bet although the index doesn't cover a lot of the 1900s, mainly the 1800s. Hope that helps. Regards ......

Ada Coas Pumphrey School Teacher began her fourty year teaching career 3rd October 1893 at Balmoral.She retired from North Geelong Primary School in 1937,and died at Araraton the 18th June1974 aged 98 years. She was buried at Woorndoo Cemetery. She has been described " most meticulous"; her diaries which covered 40 years bearing this out. Thought this may be worthy. Margaret Stickland

Just a thought, My G Grandmother was placed in a home 1875-76 at the age of one year. I believe there was a home in Castlemaine. Not even sure how long she spent there, but reletives were located and she was brought up by the Seeley family of Geelong.

Hi Peter - apart from the Orphanges, the Industrial School is a likely chance. Ealine and I are now compiling a book about the Geelong Industrial Schools, taking names from the Police Court reports etc where children had to come before the Bench to be admitted. The Industrial Schools at Geelong did not start until 1865. Before that date children appear to be sent to the Melbourne ones, along with the Reformatory. regards, Pam Jennings ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter MacAuslan" <pmaca@pipeline.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2003 9:50 AM Subject: [GEELONG] Geelong childrens homes > What records exist of children in Institutions ( homes) in Geelong in 1860 -63. > Details of John and Sarah McKinnon placed in Geelong homes from Ballarat. > Also Elizabeth McKinnon nee Malcolm in an asylum in Ballarat C,1860 > Carmel and > Peter MacAuslan > > > ==== AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT Mailing List ==== > Geelong & District Towns and Regions : > http://www.zades.com.au/geelong/gdtown.htm >

Hi Simon The available admissions have been indexed and are online at the following address. I'm afraid 1902 isn't listed.
