Unfortunately with birth and death records the name on the index is the place of registration, not the place the event took place. Dianne Hughes

Julie It is a wonder the baby was registeres at all, I am having trouble locating a lot of these often the baby was registered for the death but not the birth but mostly not at all although they are registered at the cemetery for a burial. I wonder if the birth registration was immediate because the midwife did it on the way home? Or maybe dad was in the vacinity straight after the birth but then with the death the sexton registered the death. I am guessing here but just some suggestions. If you have the certificates it may OR may not be clearer. Carmel

Hi, Julie is referring to the unnamed baby daughter of Thomas CARN and Ann CARN nee MARTIN, the indexes indicate that the baby's birth was registered in 1859 at Kingower and the death of one day old baby CARN is in the indexes for 1859 - and the *birth* location in the indexes for the death is JON. JON I would imagine refers to the JORDAN goldfields - which are in the same region as Kingower - maybe 7 or 8 miles south westish of Kingower away - less as the crow flies?? It is worth noting that the abbreviation JON only appears about 6 times - and in each case it refers to the birth location of a deceased child - about 5 from 1859 and one in 1856. I can't help with any cemetery information - but googling Jordan with Kingower or Dunolly or Wehl or Rheola should help with some of the eraly history of the place ... was the baby buried in JON ??? - hmm - I really don't know - good luck Robert in melbourne juliemhopper wrote: > Greetings all, > > Courtesy of a kind lister, I now have a family record for the birth and > death of an infant whose existence I had not previously known of.

I may be geographically challenged but I always understood that the Jordan Goldfields were in Gippsland around the Walhalla area which is a long way from Kingower!

Greetings all, Courtesy of a kind lister, I now have a family record for the birth and death of an infant whose existence I had not previously known of. The birth and death were in 1858, on the same day - the child was unnamed. On the birth record the place name is KINGOWER, which is near Bridgewater in central Victoria. But on the death record the place name is JON, which presumably would not be far from Kingower. The person who gave me the info suggests that this may be an abbreviation for a cemetery listed as JORDAN'S DIGGINGS. Does anyone have any further information about this place name? Julie H.

Hoping,wishing,begging for pics of the family Adams. I am in my 70's and only recently found my fathers family after searching for over 35 years. There were 10 children but it seems the eldest and only daughter Mary Ann Adams had family... she married Francis Sartori 1892... Daylseford Vic... I am hoping wishing begging some of their children will be kind enough to send pictures of the Adams family so I can see what my Fathers family look/looked like. The families of interest are Sartori,McKenzie,Erikson,Lanfranchi & Rodda... I would not intrude on these families and would cover any costs .. I would appreciate any pics at all young or old.... Regards... Lillian.... "Pebble Beach" Sandstone Point Qld.. [email protected]

Hi, Anybody reserching the RALPH family of Maldon? I'm hoping SKS can supply me with the marriage details of Robert William Arnold RALPH in about 1937-1939 quite possibly to an Alice CARROLL. I believe that the Ralph brothers George and William were mining in the Maldon district in the 1930s and the district was all a flutter with news of some significant discovery?? Anyhow ... thankyou for the look-up best wishes Robert still a wishing and a hoping for some decent rain

Hi Maggie, Sorry - but can't assist with finding your James Eddy. Though the books mention several by the name of Eddy - none fits the description you've provided. Kind regards, RAELENE PROSSER

Greetings My grateful thanks to all who replied to my request for information concerning Timor. The information received is wonderful Bill Phillips

--Forwarded Message Attachment-- From: [email protected] CC: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2008 12:19:56 +1000 Subject: Eaglehawk & District Pioneer Register I thought I would pass on details of the Eaglehawk & District Pioneer Registers, as I've received a large number of enquiries since my posting. The authors of these award-winning volumes are in the process of producing a final addendum, and would welcome any contributions to this regarding your Eaglehawk Pioneers. Please forward any information to: [email protected] Additionally, the same email address can be used for further information regarding these volumes. They are of course, available in many libraries. I am happy to do further look-ups regarding Eaglehawk Pioneers to the WA Goldfields, however, will be away in the immediate future and will respond to your requests on my return. And finally, any further requests for the WA Goldfields listing - please send via the Goldfields list, not direct to my private email. They will be responded to via the list. Kind regards, RAELENE PROSSER Hi Raelene I've just seen your message re looking up WA information for people who may have gone to this State, and I'm hoping you'll be able to see if you can find my great grandfather who is lost without trace!! His name was James Henry Eddy, born on 1 June 1866 in Ballarat. He became an engine cleaner and locomotive fireman, married Margaret Dooley and had four sons, Sylvester James b 1892 Talbot, Vincent Henry b 1894 in Stawell, Hilray David b 1896 in Melbourne and Thomas b 1900 in Ballarat. The family story is that he left Margaret after Tom was born and went to WA. He is not listed as a Vic Railway employee past 1900. I haven't been able to locate any info on him until 1916 when Sylvester enlisted for WWI and listed his father as next of kin living in West Melbourne, and again in 1917 when Vincent married and he listed his father as a miner but no address. At this stage James would have been 51. I have been unable to find where James died, and wonder if the family story is correct and he ended up in WA. I would appreciate it if you could check with the records you have available. Many thanks Maggie, Canberra _________________________________________________________________

Good afternoon; Following up on my earlier message regarding the Old Chinese Burial Ground at St Arnaud, I have since found out that this burial ground is in fact the "Mew Bendigo Cemetery" that was in use from 1855-1858. It also seems to have been called St Arnaud Old Cemetery at one time. I believe this small cemetery located on the Sunraysia Highway/Donald Road, St Arnaud Nth has no headstones left but there is a plaque attached to an iron gate in the front of it. The site was reserved on 30/9/1895, VGG; Page: 3408 for the protection of graves. The area for the site being listed as 2 roods. It is believed that a fire destroyed the old cemetery records in the early 1900s. Many of the burials in it were Chinese. If anyone has any further information on this old cemetery, I would appreciate hearing from them. Kindest regards, David ------------------------------------------- David Weatherill Bundoora Victoria Australia

Hi all, The following message came through on a Scotland list today. Sue Here is a message from Hugh Wallis about his IGI Batch number pages: Site not available at present. Let's hope it is operating again soon. "It appears some people have reported getting virus warnings from the site but, unless it is in the stuff ancestry.com adds, there is no virus there, and certainly not one inserted by me. I suspect ancestry.com have taken it offline. I also suspect that the anti-virus software that is giving these warnings is over zealous and has applied a heuristic detection algorithm to produce the warnings - and those algorithms are well known for producing occasional "false positives". Most reputable anti-virus software like AVG and Norton report the site as clean (or did until it was taken down by ancestry.com) Unfortunately I have no control over it since ancestry.com do not even provide a means for me to change the password that is necessary to update the site. If some evil hacker has obtained that password somehow I can do nothing about it. Actually I have not even accessed nor updated the site myself for many months. Having no time to investigate further I shall be leaving it in the hands of ancestry.com - but they have not had the courtesy even to contact me so I don't know to what extent they intend to address the issue Thanks Hugh" ----- Original Message ----- From: "maree white" <[email protected]> To: "Debbie McKay" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 7:55 PM Subject: Re: Hugh Wallis's site > Hi Debbie, > > I have found it to be down for a couple of weeks.

Good Morning; Can any list members provide me with any information on the Old Chinese Burial Ground (Cemetery) at St Arnaud? I read a very brief file (3 pages) on it at the DHS Cemeteries Unit, but it contained very little information. The 3 pages related to cleaning up the old burial ground in 1895.
