Hi Marg That's sad but it always reminds me of what I still have to do and that I had better get on with it. As we used to say; find them before I join them! (That is, the research on my rellies).

Marg - Try leaving out "numbat dot" and just using this - robat@melbpc.org.au as this was the last he used in 2002 Doug --------------------------------- Yahoo!7 Mail has just got even bigger and better with unlimited storage on all webmail accounts. Find out more.

Hi Marg Try using robat@melbpc.org.au instead of robat@numbat.melbpc.org.au I think numbat is the name of the server or was at that point in time? Melb PC use various Australian animals for their computers (I think that's how it goes)? I am not sure if I have met Bob as there have been up to 11,500 members in the past!

Hello listers Would any listers have access to newspapers in 1869 for Warnambool please if and when they may be doing their own research. My gg grandfather William Stewart died as a result of a cart accident, [he was a carrier] at Mortlake on 19 April 1869. There was no inquest for his death and only a funeral notice in the Geelong newspapers, where he resided. I was hoping that mention may have been made in the Warnambool newspapers. I will pay for any photocopying and mailing. Thank you for any help. Joan in NSW.

Hi Joan, You've got the wrong end of Victoria. Gippsland is the pointy bit to the right, whereas Warrnambool and Mortlake are in the blunt end to the left. (Sorry I'm having a mad moment.) Try the Western District list. Kind regards, Jenny ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Dear Sid, We knew Sid and Mrs Hughes who lived at Agnes. They had three children, Alfred Richard (Joe), Jenny and Kath. Joe and Jenny are now deceased. We can send more information Privately if you wish. Regards Tom and Florence Martin

Marriage and death certificates are available from <http:// online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/home> and can be arranged over the internet. These certificates have a great deal of information on them, including parents and the death certificates will include the names and dates of birth of any children, as well as occupations. Both Victoria and New South Wales certificates are worth having, the other states are not so generous with this information. Cheers Shirley

Hello Everybody, My Great uncle was SIDNEY HUGHES born 1894 PORTLAND, DORSET, he arrived at MELBOURNE 1922 and married FREDA MARION GURNEY 1925, his address was AGNES, SOUTH GIPPSLAND. He enlisted in the AUSTRALIAN army in 1941, his occupation was stated to be a farmer. I am trying to find if they had children. If there is any other person researching this family or has any information about them would they kindly get in touch. Thank you. Regards, Syd (Southampton)

Hi Folks, If anyone is researching Joseph MORGAN (aged about 67 years in 1905) and wonders why his wife remarried and where he disappeared to, all is revealed in The Age on 14 Sep 1905. If anyone wants a copy, contact me off list. I'm not researching him - just stumbled upon an interesting article.
