    3. Hi Raeleen, Thanks so much for your reply.G.V.D. may have been down there earlier for the building of the Railway by some of these old letters.Anything to do with Land clearing and wood etc he would have had a hand in also.He was Church of England.Griffiths is buried up here just out of Bendigo,with his brother,Jacob Willans Dixon,at the Raywood Cemetery. It would have been a Dairy farm that Griffith's brother,Jacob, had in the Leongatha area,l am still trying to trace this.l know that Griffith was working at it in 1904,and that Griffith's nephew,my Grandfather,Peter Verdon Dixon married my Grandmother,Ethel Winifred Craig,at Leongatha on 11th.Nov;1911. l would be thrilled to be able to work out exactly where this property was.The older Dixon Brothers were all Church of England.It was only that Jacob married Susan Malone,a Strict Irish-Catholic,that their children were then bought up in the Catholic faith,Peter and Ethel were both Catholic so their marriage would have been at a Catholic Church in Leongatha. l will read through some more of the letters for clues,but l'd say that the Railway you mention is the one Griffith worked on.Thanks so much,Pauline Pendlebury[Dixon],in Bendigo.
