Hi Linda, me again! Would you please check your records for Collingwood Primary School from 1885 to approx. 1900. These are the years Grandma Dunn would have gone to this school while living in Rupert Street, Collingwood. The school may have been in Cromwell or Islington Streets. Do your records provide the names of students?

Hi Dale, and anyone else getting excited, Vision and Realisation has brief details of every school in the state. It does not include details of where records are held. The quote is from the website http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~surreal/AVG/Resources/Res-ws.html which relates only to Wellington Shire. There is a similar website for East Gippsland Shire at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~surreal/AVG/Resources/Res-egs.html So it is no point asking me for information from anywhere else in the state. And best to check those websites (although a little out of date) if you are looking for something in those shires. The other tip is to search by place on the PROV website - I spotted some school records for Licola that way the other day. When I last saw them they were in a cupboard at Heyfield school, as when Licola closed they went to Glenmaggie as the next closest school, and when Glenmaggie closed, they went to Heyfield. regards Linda http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/ At 12:56 PM 20/01/2008 +1000, Dale wrote: >Hi Linda, me again! > >Would you please check your records for Collingwood Primary School from 1885 >to approx. 1900.
