Hi all I am trying to trace the origins of my great grandmother, Elena/Helena/Ellen/Ellener CORIDASS who was supposedly born in Hobart abt 1857, TasLink shows a Catharine CORIDASS m John Baptist SCHRIBER 1858, an unnamed female daughter born to a Peter CORIDARZ in 1862 and several other CORIDASS (with various spellings) marriages/births from 1871. The surname does not seem to have survived in Tasmania. Feedback from the Tasmanian list indicated that Coridas(s) was and still is a very common name near Maffra, Victoria. Does anyone have any knowledge of this surname and where, when and from where these families entered Australia? I suspect that they may have originated in Prussia. Gail Irwin New Zealand

Hi Listers, Could sks please help me with the full name of a location with the abbreviation BGO. In my research I have found an ancestor born in this location and originally I thought it was Bendigo. However, as the family lived in the Bairnsdale area 100 years ago I wondered if there was a place in Gippsland which may have the same abbreviation. Thank you in anticipation. Jan Shaw.

Lauris, Swifts Creek is north of Bairnsdale, around the time you are speaking of it was also known as "The Junction" There is three possible cemeteries that residence of Swifts Creek could be buried in, Omeo, Cassilis or Ensay. If you advise of the family you are searching I may be able to assist ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ Regards Dianne Carroll Historian - Genealogist - Author Omeo - Victoria Online : - http://www.users.bigpond.com/mountainfestival/ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Could SKS please let me know where is Swifts Creek in relation to Sale, what was there in 1859 and are there any cemeteries in the area in which someone from Swifts Creek would be likely to be buried? Thanking you Lauris

Does anyone know of Horace (Horrie) Brien , who was a barber at Paynesville in the 1970- 1980's? He was quite a character (arent most barbers) He died in 1984 on the 18th hole of the Paynesville Golf course. Is there a Paynesville cemetery? What newspapers are the death notices likely to be in? If he is buried there what is the best way to access these records? Many thanks again Dale Watts

Linda, Here are some more suggested entries for the Time Line - 1861 September - Latrobe River bridge at Rosedale completed, and declared open for traffice in March 1862. 1864 - Telegraph Line completed between Melbourne and Sale. 1865, January - Sale Telegraph Office opened. 1870 - The lease of Merton Rush Pastoral Run (with its homestead situated on the western side of the Morwell River south of the Old Sale Road) was transferred from James Ford Bourn to Samuel Vary, who named the district Driffield after the village in Yorkshire where he was born. 1874 - First selections at Poowong, near the western end of McDonald's Track. I feel that I am becoming a pest, so will sign off for a while to allow others a turn. :-) Walter Savige

Linda Barraclough. I congratulate you on your herculean effort in compiling of a Gippsland Time Line. I suggest that some or all of the following events should be included - (1) 1862 - McDonald's Track completed. [I stressed the importance of the track in a message on 8 March 1999, in which I referred to comments by T.J. Coverdale (see below). Some people may feel that the track was unimportant since it shortly became disused and overgrown. However, it became very important in the mid-1870s when it was used as a base line for survey by selectors in the densely forested hill country lying in the vicinity of the track between Poowong and Narracan. (2) 1870 - Selections at and near Brandy Creek (Buln Buln) marked the beginning of a land rush, which continued throughout the decade until a huge tract of virgin land in west and south-west Gippsland had been taken up by selectors in west and south-west Gippsland. [Hugh Copeland, in "The Path of Progress" (Warragul, 1934, p 8) states: "The fame of Brandy Creek spread; instances of the prolific growth that resulted from sowing grass-seed on the ashes after burning the timber led people to believe the soil was remarkably rich."] (3) 1871 - Dodd's Track (also known as Stockyard Creek Track and later as Turton's Track - a bridle track extrending from Moe to Foster) was cut by Robinson, Dodds, Fisher and Farley. This track served as an overland route to the goldfield at Foster. The track was later resurveyed by Liddiard and sections of it are still in use as minor roads. (4) 1872 - Discovery of gold at Turton's Creek (north of Foster).. - Addendum - Extract from a chapter by T.J. Coverdale in "The Land of the Lyre Bird" (Shire of Korumburra, 1920), pp 77,78: "But civilisation's first effectual mark was laid on the wilderness when G. T. McDonald, in 1862, completed the track that bears his name. This was the biggest piece of road surveying ever done in South Gippsland. Although he did not plot it as the two-chain road it is now, he ran the course throughout and cut a track along it. It ran easterly and north-easterly from Tobinyallock [Lang Lang] to Morwell [Bridge], a distance of about seventy miles, and for the most of the way through the heart of the big scrub country. It was a monument to the skill and perseverance of the man who, after more than two years of difficult and tedious exploring, completed it. His supplies had to be packed from Cranbourne, distant during part of the work over sixty miles. The road was intended for a better stock route from Sale to Melbourne, but was abandoned, as there was no permanent water on it, although it ran through an exceptionally wet country. The reason of this is that for the most of the way it runs along the top of a dividing range which falls away sharply in places, especially to the southward. Although he had to grope about in the dark, so to speak, through the scrub, it is surprising how little alteration was needed in the route surveyed by him when the clearings let daylight in upon his work. Clearing his seven foot "track" along the line, he unconsciously wrote his name in history; and then the scene of his labours was left to the silence of the bush again for the next twelve or thirteen years. When the first pioneers came in, the track was entirely overgrown and very difficult to trace, so much so. that some of the blocks were surveyed right across it - the land surveyors not noticing it at the time. After being run again, it became the base line for the survey of many thousands of acres, and as they came in, the settlers kept opening up the old seven-foot track further and further east [sic – and/or west]. And this seven-foot track was the only road in the district for some three or four years, and had to carry the traffic of many square miles of country. Its condition in the Winter may be left to the imagination." Walter Savige

Am trying to find information on two brothers: PATRICK QUINN b. 1893 Yambuck d. 1961 Warragul JAMES ARTHUR QUINN b. 1901 unknown D. WARRAGUL 1983. No record of burial Gippsland area. Parents: John Anthony QUINN and Mary Ann BROWN. There is a record of Patrick Quinn (Bank Manager)Drouin Bank 1940 -but this is a different family. Any information would be most welcome. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

There are eight listings of WADDELL in the white pages for the Warragul,Drouin area. look up www.whitepages.com.au the old area code was 056. There are two Warne listings, one in Warragul one in Garfield. A phone call would probably be a good starting point, sometimes gets you amazing results and is certainly worth the cost of the call. Nothing to lose, the worst you can get is nothing. Regards, Bernie Green.

I'm researching the MARKEY Family, actually in other parts of Victoria, and one of my correspondents mentioned a Mount Markey in Gippsland. I've had a look at my trusty Atlas, and can find Casilis, but not Mount Markey. Does anyone know of this Mount Markey? And does anyone know how/for whom it was named?

Anyone know this family? Randall William WADDELL b.1868 Lancefield,Vic, d.1929 Warragul, m.1903 to Emily Alice WARNE b. 1873 Egerton. Children: Leslie William WADDELL b.1904 Warragul Norman Robert Henry WADDELL b.1906 Warragul (they are my mother's cousins) The family had a dairy farm out of Warragul. Would like to be able to make contact. Thank you in anticipation, Margaret Rowe.

I have been asked to find information Jack Ryan, who with his brother, Jeremiah, settled outside of Morwell around 1875. According to the death index entry for Jeremiah in the Edwardian Index (1910), the brothers' parents were James Ryan and Bridt Cavanagh. === Claire Wood Traralgon, Vic. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
