Hello Pauline I am also new to this list and also looking for a family of Dixons that may have been in Leongatha. My grandfather, William Edward Dixon named Leongatha as his birthplace on his marriage certificate although his birth certificate shows that he was born at Rosedale (is that anywhere nearby?) in 1878. He married in 1909 so would have been a contemporary of your Peter Dixon maybe they could be related. William was the son of Edward Magnus Dixon and Annie Charlotte Dixon (nee Ross) who were married at St Mark's Church, Rosedale in 1876, Edward's occupation was given as stockman. Edward's parents were Thomas and Sarah Dixon (nee Smith) who were married at Tarraville in 1858. Do any of these folk sound familiar?
