Hello Listers, Having had an injection in my right arm, I at last can get into my old notes and lift folders out of cupboards and books out of shelves! So here is something that I found in my folder on research of land registers at the Victorian Public Record Office (dozens of series numbers & titles) in preparation for a lands seminar possibly in 1992. I was checking on the sort of information in the volumes in case I had a query which they would answer, etc. Soooooooooooo....... VPRS 1310 Land Act 1862. Register of Licences Land Act 1862 (1862-1865) total 3 volumes. Volume 1: Index at front unused. Entries are by "Registry No". One page per person, leases paid 3-monthly, some transferred to "Licence" then "Grant", some purchased. They seem to come through the Bairnsdale Licencing Board, because there is a memo dated 11 Sept 1868, to the Licencing Officer at Bairnsdale concerning a Mr DOWELL, licensee for a wharf reduced from £16 to £10 and indicating that a Mr WILMOTT was also able to renew at the lower rate. Here are some examples of the contents: Licences for Fishing huts February 1864 (no exact sites listed) John PERCY, Ah Chong, John LAVOISSEN, James SMITH (purchased 1867), Roland FLORANCE, John KELLY, Arch McALPINE, G.W.GRANT. Allan BURN of Punt Flat Bairnsdale: licence for a rural inn in 1868 John FITZGERALD of Punt Flat Bairnsdale: licence for a smithy (in July 1871left the district) Gustav SCHNEIDER of Tambo: licence for a sawmill Sept 1864 George GRANT of Shaving Point: licence for Fisherman's hut (and purchased) John NAVAS of Shaving Point: licence for fisherman's hut COULSEN & SHAW of Shaving Point: licence for fisherman's hut (purchased 1871} W.ROADKNIGHT of Lakes Entrance: licence for fisherman's hut 1870 W.MONTGOMERY of Lakes Entrance: licence for fisherman's hut 1871 John HOWLETT of Sand Hummocks Lakes Entrance licence for a rural inn in Nov 1871 but "never paid up". There are only 43 pages used Volume 2 has only two pages used and the licensees are listed one under the other. I only drew off the first three entries as an indication of the contents. Again, Bairnsdale office. W S (or G) ARCHER licence for a punt in 1864 Robert MOFFITT licence for rural store Jabez BANFIELD and many others Volume 3 starts July 1864 and uses 97 pages to date 1871 The front index pages have a title: "SALE" D.CONNOLLY of Dargo River licence for a public house July 8 1864 M. CORBETT Alberton Road Bairnsdale licence for brickmaker's site, formerly licenced to Mr IRVING, a contractor Hope that interests someone. regards, Ada Ackerly, Melbourne, Australia formerly Ackerly DocuSearch -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hello the List, I am interested in finding out the route(s) taken by Cobb & Co's coaches from Sale to Bairnsdale from1861 when I understand the service commenced. It seems the service was twice per week at a cost of £1:10:0 one way, and later three times a week for £1:0:0. I do not know much about local geography but I would imagine that there would be more than one route depending on weather conditions, floods etc. I have visited several web sites and have found a fair amount about the company but not the particular route I am interested in. Also, have been in contact with a researcher at Cobb & Co but she is mainly interested in the routes in Qld and NSW. This is a pity as Cobb & Co was founded in Victoria in 1853 by F COBB, JM PECK, JB LAMBER and J SWANTON. Soooo, I wonder if anyone on the list has any information on this or could point me in the right direction please? Doreen in Doncaster

Hello all, Is anybody aware if there are any records anywhere of the Undertaker - John Bolger? His name is listed on all the deaths on the certificate page I have of Morwell - Hazelwood Cemetery. Time frame is 1921. If there is any records - what is the availability of viewing them? Are they on fiche at some libraries?? I am in SE suburbs of Melbourne. Thank you Pat

Hi Diane, I am extremely glad that you hijacked the email. Thank you for your reply you have given me some new ideas to think about. I had not considered that he was in Yallourn while she was in Fitzroy but that is most definitely a possibility. At present I do not have an address for them in 1920 but in 1922 I have 179 Moor St, Fitzroy and later that year 104 Clauscen St, N Fitzroy. The problem I am facing is that my mother-in-law was always very secretive about her family - the past is the past!! It is now that she has dementia that she let slip with a couple of things that has sent me out checking. Of course there is no body else to ask. What I have found is that after the death of the child in 1921 the mother Eleanor THOMAS nee FREEMAN started to have medical/mental problems. Things that today she would get counselling back then they were locked up for and she was there (in Sunbury Mental Institution and Castlemaine Benevolent Home) for the rest of live - 25 approx years. I am trying to piece together what may have been the life of the children - my husband's mother and her siblings - and the other family. It appears that the father (James THOMAS) may have had an affair with his wife's sister, which resulted in the birth of another child. The sister a couple of years later also ended up out at Sunbury. So as you can see it appears to be quite a traumatic life. I would be very interested in any highlights you may have found about the life style of your relatives who were miners in this area. We just may be able to help each other piece together some "flesh on the bones" so to speak. Do you have a Number in Gore Street? I would love it if you have. Have you tried ringing the council to see if they have a historian who would know? If not I shall have a go. If you are on the right track with the thought of a home for the wives then Eleanor would have been there pre 1921. I wonder if there was an electoral roll for that time frame??

The reason I ask this is that my grandmother was married to a man who worked in the Brown Coal Mine at Yallourn and she lived in Fitzroy at the same time, similar to what you mention. Do you know if the Fitzroy address was Gore Street, and if so whether it was a special boarding house or facility for wives and/or families whose husbands worked in the mines? You may not know but we have checked out the address we had as Gore Street, and it is a different building to what it was then and it is a very large block apparently, so it is possible that it was a residence where women stayed. I guess I am clutching at straws but if I don't ask, I may miss something.

Hello, It has been suggested to me that I should join the list and ask the knowledgeable people here about this area. I have just received a death certificate, which states that the informant (father) was from BROWN COAL MINE MORWELL. He has been listed as a miner on most certificates but I know his wife at least was in FITZROY in 1919 and that he was back there in 1922 after the death of a young child. So in fact I am only looking at a small time frame in this area. What I would be interested in is if there are any records that would list workers of the mine or those living in the area? Am I likely to get children's names attending the school, if there are any records? What housing, and how far away, was in the area? I think that is enough for starters. Thank you very much. Regards, Pat

Nettiquette and this List Hi Everyone, This is a semi-regular reminder, posted to this list, in the hope that it may make life easier for all. Firstly, this list works on the principle that the free and open exchange of information about Gippsland can only make it a better place for us all to carry out our research. OFF TOPIC POSTS To avoid duplication, and to keep the list on topic, posts should be about or directly relevant to the region of Gippsland, Victoria. Posts of a more general nature (including information about websites not related to Gippsland), should be directed to the more general lists eg AUS-VIC and GENANZ. Listers wishing to receive such general posts are also encouraged to subscribe to those lists. CROSS POSTING Please do not cross post (ie send the same message to this list and another list at the same time) unless there is very definite material specifically about the list area in the post. Apologising for off-topics and cross-postings does not make it okay it just means you know you should not do them, but are going to do it anyway. Please don't. If in doubt about the relevance of a post, the list-admin can be consulted offlist at [email protected] CUTTING OLD MESSAGES It is really important in list-life to cut all sections out of old messages before replying to the list. This especially applies to the footers used, and the endless additions sometimes recycled time and time again on the bottom of messages. To do this, you just highlight the unwanted text and hit your delete button. This is important not only for those who pay by downloads, but also those who are on the Digest form of the list, where sometimes you need a cut lunch and a compass to find your way around in the mire of all the repeated messages. Digest readers really love the posters who cut the old messages. REPLIES TO LIST This list is set so that replies go, by default, back to the list, and not the person who posted (unless they have an over-ride set). This means more information is shared with the whole list. However, as some people actually pay for their internet use by download, it would really be appreciated if people are just returning messages with comments like "Thanks Fred" at the top, that they would do so personally, off-list, to the person concerned. You should be able to find their e-mail address on the post to cut and paste it into the address section of your reply. SUBJECT HEADINGS Having a relevant subject heading really maximises your chances of catching the attention of those who often do not even open a message unless they know it applies to them. Try and include a surname and a place if appropriate, rather than headings such as "Family History" VIRUS WARNINGS We have been really good about this recently, but please keep in the back of your mind that virus warnings and discussion are off-topic, and are not to be posted to the list. While I appreciate they are sent with the best of intentions, often we do not know as much as we think we do, and can end up causing more harm than good. Thanks for reading to the bottom. The good will of people on the list is appreciated, and your willingness to assist others and keep the list as happy a place as possible for them is much appreciated.

Hi Jason, It was great to hear from you, and yes please I'd love any photos or documents you might have on the family. As I'm trying to find all MILTHORPE descendants in Australia, I'd love to get all descendants of Alice too please. I've got two daughters at present, Helen L. and Ethel G. Both born in Albury. Helen in 1890 and Ethel G. in 1891 so would appreciate anything from there on. please. If you are interested, when you've given me your info. I can give you what I have on the Milthorpe family.

Thanks for the email Ann Your'll right. Alice Milthorpe was born in Brown's Plain and married T.H Slater (Snr) in Albury. The family moved to Kilmore in the early 1890's and then moved on to Korumburra in 1900. She is my paternal grandmother's grandmother. If you are interested I can scan some photos and documents etc for you. The Milthorpes appear to be a prominent family in northern victoria and all moving there in the 1850's.
