Hi I have a number of relatives who signed this petition who were Gippsland based while others I am not sure about. For example I have relative who signed as Mrs. McDonald - Dunkeld, she is obviously one of mine, but I have 3 ladies who were all Mrs. McDonald. which one is it. I fear some women may not have wanted their husbands to know so initials were omitted. I have some who came from Gippsland but were living in other parts of Victoria in 1891, thus not sure if these of interest.
