Hi Debbie I have several relatives who signed, inc my GGrandmother. However she did not sign while living in Gippsland, but she moved there between 1899 and 1903. She is buried at Orbost. By your phrasing, you are only interested in those who were living in the gippsland area at the time of signing (for the purposes of your research that is). Is that right? Hmm... I have a Sarah Jane Wigg (nee Horne) of Bairnsdale who signed, but as she is collaterall on my tree I don't know much about her. Her sister Mrs F Henderson (nee Horne) of Bairnsdale also appears to have signed. Otherwise all the others come vrome elswhere in Victoria.

I am currently trying to collate biographic details of these women plus, if I can find them, images of them also. I have already found some abnomolities and other tit bit's of info - for instance - where one sister has been living / visiting another and signed the petition at the sister's address. Also some names that have been mistranscribed. Anyone with any info about these women or about the process of how the signing of the petition actually happened would be appreciated.
