Hi to all, anyone have any info. re James Pretty who was a storekeeper in Portarlington from about 1907 to 1917, approx. Also his only son (my father) James Alfred Burton PRETTY who obviously would have gone to school in that timefrom age of about 6, and who also played football in Geelong area. Thanks Ruth MacLeod (nee Pretty).

Hello Ruth, Did you check the Bellarine Peninsula Consolidated Names Index?? Previously you were asking about James and J.A.B. PRETTY and there are five Court References for James but there's also a School entry for Burton PRETTY - obviously he didn't use the J.A. bit, just the Burton! http://www.zades.com.au/bellhs/bpnmsrc1.asp Copies of the School Register can be obtained from the Bellarine Historical Society. http://www.zades.com.au/bellhs/bellhs.html#Research Regards .....
