Hi Lori and Listers Thanks for the info about B. Station and Jarrahmond. It makes very interesting reading. Would you mind telling me where you got all that detail from? Have a fair bit of information about our Henry John Mitchell, but am just having trouble going further back to his parents and beyond or finding his death. He married Emma Susan Twitchett in Bairnsdale ( 1884 ), she later became known as Owen. His parents are listed as Joseph Mitchell and Ellen Mollorin and his birth place as Parramatta. Age at this point was 35 and he was a farmer at Snowy River. He and Emma had the following children: Alice McDougall 1882 Bruthen Ada Rebecca 1884 Bairnsdale Henry John 1885 Orbost Esther Helen 1887 Swan Reach Charles George 1888 Lake Tyers Annie 1890 Lake Tyers Charlotte May 1892 Lake Tyers Eliz. Vict. 1894 Lakes Entrance Jos. Wm. 1896 Bruthen Josine 1898 Bruthen As you can see they have moved around Gippsland a bit. In 1885 he was listed as a labourer at B. Station (as you know). In 1889 he was listed as a selector at Lake Tyers. In 1905 he was listed as a selector at Bruthen ( Deptford Rd ). Then he seemed to disappear, but we will keep searching as we all do. Regards for now, Barry
