Hi Nardia Good news re the bus trip! Could you put my name down as a starter from Bairnsdale please? Regards the older of the tworobbos

Hi Everyone, Nardia's post about a trip to Melbourne for Gippslanders has reminded me to remind you about two coming events (hope you all enjoy the bus trip). 15th November (date to be confirmed): Maffra and District Historical Society and Wellington Shire Council will be launching "Wellington Landscapes: History and Heritage in a Gippsland Shire" by Meredith Fletcher and Linda Kennett. This book is based on the environmental history of the shire that examines overall themes throughout the shire as part of the Heritage Study for the shire planning scheme. However Meredith also allowed inclusion of other work she had compiled, which meant that short histories of many of the shire's towns are also included. Indexed and illustrated. Further details are available from me offlist at [email protected] For those outside the area who are unfamiliar with shire boundaries - main towns are Sale, Maffra, Yarram, Rosedale, Stratford etc. A full list is at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~surreal/AVG/Resources/Res-ws.html Sat 26th November: Annual Centre for Gippsland Studies conference, 10am to 4pm at Monash University, Churchill. This year's theme is Gippsland, War and Community. Quoting from the brochure: "Speakers will discuss the experiences of servicemen and women from Gippsland; the impact of war service on families; the ways communities commemorate and remember people who enlisted; war heritage and memorabilia; and sites of remembrance on our landscape. As well there will be photographic displays and a bookshop selling publications on Gippsland history, and participants will be able to exchange information about sources, research methods and granting bodies. For more information, contact Meredith Fletcher Centre for Gippsland Studies, Monash University, Churchill, 3842 [email protected] phone 5122 6356 fax 5122 6359 [end quote] It isn't on the brochure, but usually there is a small charge for the day, and it is byo lunch, tea and coffee available. I manage the bookshop, which is bigger than Ben Hur, as everyone brings books and I sell them on their behalf, so lots small publications from historical societies and self-publishers that you might not normally find in shops appear. If anyone wishes to discuss the bookshop with me, please mail me offlist at [email protected] Cheers Linda -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hi List The Lakes Entrance Family History Resource Centre has organised a bus trip to Melbourne for people to do research, shopping or sight seeing etc. We are going on the 29th Oct 2005 leaving Lakes Entrance at 5.30am, picking up in Bairnsdale at 6.00am and also further towards Melbourne if the need arises. We will hopefully be at the State Library by 10 - 10.30am and will be leaving the State Library by 5.30pm, stopping at Pakenham for a dinner break. Morning tea will be provided. If you are interested or have any questions please contact Nardia [email protected] Cheers Nardia

Hi I've been asked to respond to these enquiries off list as they are off the subject of the list so I'll just do this one because I don't have a personal email to send direct. All others please email me of list to [email protected] thanks. Short answer no Rappers, lots of Thorpes but no Victor, only Wms etc. Sorry, for not being able to help and for being off subject. Jo.

I'm sorry I looked under Boyce, Milsom, Lavina and Thomas 1901 and didn't find them. Wish I could have helped. Jo.

Jo, I would like a lookup of my gg gparents who I understand are buried at Melbourne General. Thomas Boyce died about 1901, and his wife Lavinia Elizabeth (nee Milsom) died 1889 Quite a few of their 13 children died young but I don't think were buried at Melb Gen. Thanks for your lovely offer - I hope you enjoy the cd and find lots of your own.

Does anyone have an email address for Lois McKENZIE from this List? I am trying to contact her re some spare BDMs she posted a few years ago and my mail is bouncing. -- Best regards, Julie from Cairns mailto:[email protected]

Hi, everyone! sorry for belated reply, having been in Melbourne to celebrate the birth of another beautiful granddaughter. >...Hibbs from Tarraville/ Port Albert. Tolson from Woranga and Tarraville. >Alford from around Yarram/Maffra and maybe the Sale area. Lots of information on these families at Gippsland Regional Maritime Museum, Port Albert. HIBBS and ALFORD descendants still live in the district. A reminder...the 2005 edition of "Clonmel to Federation 1841-1901" index, available for reference at the Museum, contains in its 738 pages information on more than 15,000 people with links to the former Alberton Shire. Can you afford not to check it? Cheers Gwen ----------------------------------------- Gippsland Regional Maritime Museum Tarraville Road, Port Albert 3971, Victoria, Australia http://yarrampa.customer.netspace.net.au/pamm.html

Hello Max I am wondering if you have lived at Alberton at any time Max? If you did you would have been quite young when you left. There is someone in Heyfield who has done a lot of work on the Hibbs family I will see if I can find that out for you unless that person speaks with you in the meantime. My father employed a Hibbs from Tarraville around 1952-3 for a while. Regards Margaret [email protected]

Hello Listers, And if anyone replies about this, could it please go to the list? I am always interested in photographers and better dating of them.

Hi Everyone (Steve, are you reading this), I have just been handed a set of four ***original*** photographs by Thomas Washbourne, Melbourne photographer of the 1870s. One is his woodcutters at Lower Dargo and the other three are photographs (one a hop kiln) from one Briagolong family. I know he was through here in the 1870s - Steve, do you now have any better date than "1870s", and does this confirm what you thought about him coming through Briagolong. Can anyone at all give an exact date for this trip through????? Cheers Linda -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hello All, Please note, the new email address for John and Marianne Biggs is: [email protected] Please ammend your records, Bye for now, John Biggs

Still looking for contact with any of the above line. Alfred William PASSMORE born 1866, Geelong, married Mary Jane ANDERSON in 1893, probably in Sale or Longford. Mary Jane died in 1896 at St. Kilda after the birth of her second child. Alfred William married again in 1898 - to Lydia Tabitha COTT(E)RELL. There were two more children, the older being Violet Muriel, born 1899 at Richmond. She married in 1913 Alfred Thomas COLES, born 1887 at Yea. The youngest of their four children was Alfred Raymond COLES, born about 1925 and who died at Traralgon in 1961. I have no information as to whether he married or not It's a long shot but am wondering if anyone on this list knows of, or can put me in touch with, descendants, if any, of Alfred and/or Violet. There is a proposed family reunion, at Bairnsdale, for descendants of Charles and Maria SMITH of Rosedale over the Easter weekend next year and the families mentioned above are all connected but contact was lost many years ago. the older of the tworobbos The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. and . . . . As we slide down the bannister of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way

Thank you Anne. I intend to visit your neck of the woods this spring and check it all out. The era was about 1842 onwards.
