Hi Robyn Not much help however suggest that the Suffolk Location could well be Whitton (on the North West outskirts of Ipswich ) East Suffolk.

Hi Looking for any info- Henry Wills Mitchell married Elizabeth Ann Hawkes 1855 in Geelong. Henrys parents were Andrew Mitchell and Grace Wills. Elizabeths parents were Thomas Hawkes and Ann Maria Hodges. Thanks Fran

Hi List Can sks please tell me if there is a place or sight in Melb where I can find passengers from Queensland to Geelong [Port Henry] 1890 /1894 regards Deirdre deirdremc@bigpond.com

The Geelong connection..... story....Edward Evans came from Suffolk, place starting with W, whiteman or something (This is the story mind...) No other details. Left behind his 'with child' Mary Tremayne in Cornwall. She with her family came out here to make an honest woman of herself. Child born and died before they married. She did find him at Geelong. Where Wangaratta now stands. It is confusing because a Matilda Evans and her young family came out here on the same boat at Mary. The Lysanda. 1849. Matilda and her family, AND Mary and Edward and THEIR family, both lived, probably next door to each other, at Ovens River. SO I thought, is this Matilda any relation to Mary's Edward?? Not that Evans is a unusual name, but is it more than oc-incidence that Mary, pregnant to Edward Evans, comes to Oz on the Lysanda, with another family called Evans, and they both live at Ovens River. Seems to me that maybe Edward was related to them...I live in hope. He came out on the Anna Maria I was told, and that ship, against it's name, has an asterisk, which means it went to Geelong. I got that info from the index. Now, I have never been able to find Edward Evans coming to Australia. Bit like Isaac Grim/Brad/Shaw. They both must have swum, as the late Janet Reaken would have said.... Anyone can you find Edward Evans coming here, must have been before 1849 as he married then in December in Melbourne to Mary Tremayne. Digger index shows them marrying and the death of Mary Tremayne Evans the child. Was only a few days old. I have looked through many indexes and musters and payrolls and messages, nobody has come back to me with his name on a ship. robyndehood. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susie Zada" <szada@zades.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 12:21 AM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] Assisted Immigrants > Hi Robyn?

Thank you for that info. Why I said that, read on.... Isaac Shaw, supposedly convict, came to Oz. wife and kids followed. sentence completed he is going back to England?? think Suffolk district. Ship taking them back (only one I can find possible is George 111, called into Newcastle for coal as ballast) and on the way out sank. many drowned. Isaac, wife and daughter some of them. Son, Benjamin, supp. about 12, got to shore and ended up at Maitland. This above is all story....not supported. Benjamin became (now all this part IS true) a carrier in Gunnedah. One of the places he visited was a place owned by Cunningham's e.g. Cunningham's Flat, and they had a servant girl/housemaid whatever (we were real landed gentry) called Eliza Crouch (or Crerech, think German so changed it). The place was called Liverpool Plains then. Ben and Eliza went 'paddling up the river' so I was told. Next year when Ben arrived back for his load, Eliza presented him with a young child called John. He was my husband's grandpa. Ben said, this ain't mine, I have not been here for 12 months. Eliza pointed out that the child was 3 months old!!! They married about 6 months later. I could never find John being born. Tribes of brothers and sisters. Never John. Well, parents married in 1857, Liverpool Plains, John was never registered. So when I worked that one out, just put a (C) born 1856 against his name and then went in search of his parents. Fine, Ben and Eliza. Then went in search of Ben's dad...and came unstuck. Seems his name was Bradshaw, being a convict name, young Ben chose to drop the Brad (of course it could have been Grim..) and only call himself Shaw. I have gone over shipping records, convict records, been on lists until I am blue in the face trying to find a Isaac anything Shaw, who came here at all....if anyone has any bright ideas, feel free to add you opinions. robyndehood. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susie Zada" <szada@zades.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 12:21 AM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] Assisted Immigrants > Hi Robyn?

Hi Robyn? (I think that's your name???), I'm not sure what you mean by those with an asterisk against their name? Basically, almost all overseas passenger ships destined for "Geelong" landed at Point Henry - anything over about 220 ton up until the 1860s or later couldn't get over the sandbar and into the wharves at Geelong. They started dredging the smaller channels but the more they dredged the larger the ships got and they never really caught up with the size of the ships! The Hopetoun Channel which solved the problem wasn't fully open for day and night navigation until 1892. So that's why the majority of "Geelong" bound passenger ships landed on the eastern side of Point Henry - nice deep channel then very shallow area for bringing people and livestock ashore.

Hi Folks, Did you know that Geelong (Point Henry!) "received far more assisted immigrants than any other regional port in Victoria"? Obviously Melbourne isn't regional <vbg> but I think most of us who have researched in this area realise that it was No. 2 to Melbourne for immigration. Just thought I'd let you know about a terrific new book that you might like to find and read - released about a week or so ago. "A Place to Lay My Head : Immigrant Shelters of Nineteenth Century Victoria" by Dr. Keith Pescod, Australian Scholarly Publishing, Melbourne. This is a follow up to the book he published in 2001 ......... "Good food, bright fires & civility : British Emigrant Depots of the 19th Century" His first one was EXCELLENT - helps you understand what our ancestors went through in the lead up to boarding their ship in Britain to come to Australia. And if the first one is anything to go by, the second one should be terrific - what happened to them when they arrived in Victoria ... with LOTS of Geelong references. Keith and his wife were down here (Geelong region) last year and the year before researching for this book. I believe that Griffiths will be stocking it - I know Keith had a list of a couple of places in Geelong that were probably going to stock it. Worth reading! Regards ....... Susie Zada

Hello Robyn and Pauline, "Search engines are remarkable things" While I understand ( never been there) one of the Major heritage ( pre 1850) buildings in Hobart is also named Lumeah the more detail ( hence Susies request for names associated with the property name ) the more likely it will be possible to properly Identify the correct one. "Aboriginal names have been popular for a long time, particularly words such as Wahroonga, which means our house,.. and Lumeah, which is here I rest...." Mr Gould recorded the history of house names in his first book, House Names of Australia, published in 1994." Quite apart from this particular instance, when posting queries the use of specific names, places and dates are ALWAYS helpful for other listers who may just have happened to read a reference during their own research. bfn john mrshaw@bigpond.com wrote: > john, what a fund of information you are. someone always knows...robyn. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "John Whitehand" <wht4hnd@vicnet.net.au> > To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 6:46 PM > Subject: [GEELONG] Lumeah, Birregurra,Sherren Family > > > >> A real significance in LUMEAH thanks to G O O G L E I have discovered: >>A book titled The Sherrens in Australia >>http://www.islandregister.com/sherren/pg201_225.html >>- Page 224 - >> >><great big bits edited> >> >>The youngest of the original William Sherren, who immigrated to >>Australia, was John Curtis Sherren, who was named after William's >>brother.

Well, the town of Degilbo was named after the valuer general or somebody told the townsfolk (my grandparents included) that they were 'obliged' to call it something, not no name town....hence the name of Degilbo.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my request. The photo that was taken outside the property "Lumeah" could have been at Birregurra, (they must only have been visiting). I only presumed that it was down Drysdale way as they were buried there, but as we all know we shouldn;t presume things in family history. Regards Paulette

Hi Paulette, Still one unanswered question - what were the names of the people / person in the photo??? And another question - where did the Drysdale reference come from? i.e. why did you think it was near Drysdale? The answers to these questions can help us narrow down the possibilities.

A real significance in LUMEAH thanks to G O O G L E I have discovered: A book titled The Sherrens in Australia http://www.islandregister.com/sherren/pg201_225.html - Page 224 - The youngest in this clan was George Johnston Sherren, born on March 6, 1908. Because of his mother's early demise, his father arranged for him to be adopted by his uncle and aunt, Gower and Sophia Johnston. George never married, however, he served in the 1939-1945 war in New Gunea. He now lives at 32 Gilgandra Road, Bonei, which is a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales. The youngest of the original William Sherren, who immigrated to Australia, was John Curtis Sherren, who was named after William's brother. He was born on February 23, 1863, also at Birregurra. He was educated at Geelong; was an outstanding athelete, and in 1879 was the 300 yard champion. He won the high jump under 16 from 1879-1881, and was a member of the school's football XVIII and Cricket II teams. (Geelong Grammar school, was known as an institution for the upper crust; and boasts that Prince Charles gained some of his education here.) On July 24, 1889, he married Jessie Edwarina Tanner, daughter of Samuel Hart and Jessie Peters of Colac. At this time, he was running the property "Lumeah" on the banks of the Barwon River at Birregurra. John and Jessie had three children: John Roy, born January 25, 1891, spent some time in New South Wales, and on his return, in 1918, was met by his father in Melbourne. In December of 1920, he married Florence Edith Sparrow . bfn John -- John Whitehand Melbourne; AUSTRALIA +61(0)3 93145307 http://www.vicnet.net.au/~whitehaj/welcome.htm Ambition is ultimately destructive--There's only room for ONE "at the top." *** Co-operation Achieves ~ Competition destroys ! ***
