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

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 >
