Hi everyone, I am delighted that there is a Gippsland listt. My husband's grandfather was JAMES HARVEY who was alleged to have been born in Gippsland circa 1868. He married FRANCES SARAH MANSFIELD on 3 March 1892 at St Matthias in Sydney NSW. His children were James Alexander born 10 Dec 1892, Frederick John born 3 Feb 1895, Doris Louisa born 29 July1898 and Grace Lillian born 28 Nov 1906. Neither his marriage nor death certificate in February 1940 lists his parents. The only clue is that all the children's birth cert. say that their father was born in Gippsland. His death cert stated that he was 72 and my father in law filled in that he was born in Eldorado. We went there and there were no records at all. Can someone tell me which towns were established by 1860 in Gippsland, and does anyone have any relatives of a Catherine Picton who married a James Harvey in Clare in 1867. Any help would be apprecaited. I have been searching for his parents for over two years. My email i! s paarharvey@bigpond.com if you have any information of any sort. Thanks in anticipation. Perle
