Hi, everyone! sorry for belated reply, having been in Melbourne to celebrate the birth of another beautiful granddaughter. >...Hibbs from Tarraville/ Port Albert. Tolson from Woranga and Tarraville. >Alford from around Yarram/Maffra and maybe the Sale area. Lots of information on these families at Gippsland Regional Maritime Museum, Port Albert. HIBBS and ALFORD descendants still live in the district. A reminder...the 2005 edition of "Clonmel to Federation 1841-1901" index, available for reference at the Museum, contains in its 738 pages information on more than 15,000 people with links to the former Alberton Shire. Can you afford not to check it?
