Good afternoon, I have found that a brother of my great grandfather lived in Sale, Victoria and then died in Sale in July 1919, aged 72 years. I would love to make contact with any of the descendants of this family and was wondering if any one on this list is researching this family. Adam Ball married Isabel Louise Aitken in 1895 in Melbourne but and was living at Dundas Street, Sale on the 1909 Electoral Roll. Their children were Albert, John, Richard, Eliza, William, Henry, George, Thomas and Arthur. Both Thomas (1909) and Arthur (1914) were born at Sale. As Adam was quite a bit older than Isabel it is possible that she remarried after his death. I have undertaken a great deal of research on the parents of Adam and the family before they came to Australia and would love to share it with any descendants. Regards, Jan Vernon Sydney, Australia

Thank you Everyone It has been very interesting watching the discussion on Sister Bull and where she lived. I thank everyone for their contribution. I think the conclusion may be that Sister Bulls house was in Mitchell Street in 1914 and that is where my dad was born. I am assuming it was a house that was called a hospital much as I remember St David's Hospital in Maffra. It would be nice to know if it is still there so I will continue to watch for further contribution. Linda there probably is not a copy of No 16 GHJ still available so where would I be able to get the information on Gippsland Nurses? Regards Margaret

Thanks Annie, I think that was what I was after. So she was in Mitchell Street first, and then "Gwandalyn" (later "Riverview") by 1931. So I forget who this started with, but the 1914 birth will have been at the Mitchell Street hospital. Anyone know where that one was?

Hi Linda Just looked up the Electoral Rolls for Bairnsdale and Alice Bull's addresses are given as follows: 1903 McKean Street 1914 Mitchell Street 1919 Mitchell Street 1924 Mitchell Street 1931 37 Riverine Street 1936 37 Riverine Street Hope this helps.

Hi All Extract from page 142/143 of Hal Porter's Bairnsdale William Potter's Bower House, built in Riverine Street in 1868, possesses the very qualities-a history, old trees, architectural charm -which invite doom in Bairnsdale. Bought by Frank Smith, grazier of Rosehill, about 1920, it has undergone the metamorphoses large country-town houses do: private residence, Church of England Girls' Hostel (under Deaconess Rodda), private Hospital called Gwandalyn (Sister Alice Bull, one of the town's notable women), and guest-house, renamed again, this time Riverview. Conforming to the wealthy spinster pattern Miss Annie Smith willed the house she had inherited - it's garden dishevelled, the lathes of it's latticed summer-house long ago fed to the chip-heater or washing day fire-to the Church of England diocese. The Churches intentions remain mysterious but are scarcely one fears tender and untainted enough to include the preservation of a pioneer house and (1976) the oldest in town.

Sister Bull's house was in Riverine St, Bairnsdale. It later became a boarding house - where I lived when I first came to Bairnsdale in 1958. It was run by Frank Chisholm and his wife (whose name now escapes me) at that time and it was in the backyard one night that I and all the others living there (mostly bank johnnies and schoolteachers) saw the phenomenon that was Sputnik for the first time. Coincidentally, my wife who I met later that year, and married in 1959, was born there during Sister Bull's tenure. The old place was demolished a few years back and is now a complex of units. the older of the tworobbos

Hi Margaret, This was known as "Riverview" late in its life, I have a feeling it may have been "Gwandalyn" at one stage earlier. I am not sure of the exact path late in its life, but I think it was acquired by someone after Sister Bull ceased to use it, possibly the Smiths of Rosehill, and it was then left to the Anglican Church to be used as a girl's hostel. It remained vacant while the church, over some time, contested the will, and were then allowed to demolish the property. I think that would have been the early 1980s. There are a number of modern houses on the site today. I am having trouble picking the exact point - someone on the ground up there, so to speak, might manage it better. It faced Riverine Street, and was in the "pointy" bit of the intersection with, I think, Pearson Street. Most of the babies for several generations were born there. Nurse Alice Bull enlisted in WWI in June 1915, aged 36 years, and served mainly on hospital ships. She was discharged in 1919 as unfit for further service. (see GHJ #16 - Gippsland's Great War Nurses). I think despite this she and another sister ran the hospital after that, but this would need confirmation. Interestingly, she is a daughter and grand-daughter of long-established Bairnsdale saddlers (the Bulls), plus of Henry Goodenough, prominent policeman of Bairnsdale who was a major player in the Eureka Stockade incident. Somewhere I have photographs of the building late in life, when it was derelict prior to demolition, but finding them may be a challenge. My impression is that it was a substantial brick building with a grey concrete render, surrounded by a large garden. There is a fair bit written about it, as its demolition was a matter of much angst amongst a number of people with an interest in heritage issues. All this is with one caveat - I think she was there before she went off to the war, and her nurse-partner cared for it while she was away. But I know she started off somewhere smaller. Someone in Bairnsdale may know better the exact date she began at Riverview.

Has anyone heard of Sister Bull's house in Bairnsdale, and if so where was it and can you tell me anything about it? I know that it was there in 1914 as my father was born there and I understand others were. Any information would be appreciated. Regards Margaret

Hi Everyone, This is advance notice for anyone out there managing collections, that Heritage Victoria will be running a day-long seminar at Briagolong (in the historic Mechanics' Institute), on Friday 30th May. Attendance is free, and everyone is invited. The topic is Significance - both Significance Surveys of whole collections, and how to write Significance Statements for individual items (usually objects). More information will be posted nearer the time - this is just an initial note so anyone interested can put it into their diaries. Cheers Linda

Good evening all Has anyone ever heard of Kearney's Point on the Nicholson River? It would appear to have been a [gold?] mining area in the 1890s, but I would like to pin-point the location. Any information much appreciated. Anne

In my research I came across this news item as a scrap, probably in the 1920s "George McGILTON by adoption known as George McGilton FERREIRA of Metung left a book he has written on the past and present history of Metung to the Historical Society." Query: does this book still exist? Just curious. Regards Ada
