Good afternoon. I'm new to this list and am hoping someone knows of the name I am chasing. Horatio StewarT (usual way) sometimes seen as StewarD arrived in the gold rush years from Maine USA. I have little of his movements but tracking another member of his family - cousin - I have found that he was in the area of what was then referred to as Gibneys or Gidney's Bridge on the McAllister River - 18 miles from Stockyard. It was here that Horatio was found by a friend of his cousin's which I have retrieved from a Diary. It was December 1865. There is no other reference to Horatio. What was happening in 1865 in Gibneys Creek - was it gold? Was it a farming area? Horatio married Mary Ann O'Brien in 1862 in Melbourne and he gave his occupation as Farmer. He was 38. So putting two and two together and getting most likely 6, I really only have this one lead at the moment that he may have been a farmer in the area above. I have a death which I feel is his in 1875 in Kew. Would anyone have anything which shows Horatio the elusive, as being in the area, or anywhere at all really (g)? regards Denise

Hi folks! I am trying to find which list would be for Heytesbury/Cudgee/Panmure for around 1897. James Frederick Scanlon was a grazier/farmer in this area around 1897. I haven't found anything on these SCANLON's, although there was a Michael Scanlon in the area at the time but my Scanlon originates Staffordshire England not IRELAND. I have been reading "The Infiltrators" A History of Heytesbury, can find other families who were in the area at the time but not my Scanlons. Any help would be appreciated! Cheers, Polly

I am researching the SLATER family in Korumburra and I am aware that Thomas Huddlestone SLATER moved from Kilmore to Korumburra to commence a watchmaking/jeweller practice in 1900. I recently visited the Coal Creek Historical Musuem in Korumburra and I noticed a newpaper montage on display dated 8th January 1894 which advertised a Watchmaker /Jeweller named P BERRICK operating out of a premise in Commercial Street. I suspect that SLATER took over BERRICK's business in 1900 (but this is only a hunch). Does anyone have information on BERRICK or SLATER and their commercial activities in Korumburra? Is there any old newpaper records in Korumburra available for research? I have a photo of the montage if anyone is interested. Regards Jason

Thanks Shirley. Jenny

Hello listers, Is there any intrepid genieout there who has indexed or know of an inde to "The Land of the Lyrebird"? Jenny

Hello listers, I have checked the Australian cemeteries web site for Drouin cemetery info, but it shows that the only contact is to the secretary via snail mail. Does anyone have a quicker contact, or knows if the cemetery has been indexed by any group? Thanks, Jenny
