Many Thanks to Dorothy, Lois, Margaret and Julie for great suggestions and helpful advice. I will follow up this week. With regard to marriage suggestion below, I think Elizabeth, husband John and children were still in Sth Australia, as their daughter Elizabeth Ann died and was buried (Murray District) in June of 1855. I'm doubtful that she remarried as her son was very young, approx age 7 when she died (according to husband's 2nd marriage record in 1860. There is also the family oral history that she died and was buried near Deep Creek / Bald Hill in the Carisbrook area. I've already checked with the Carisbrook Cemetary and the remaining Bald Hill Cemetary records, and she's not on them. Her death pre-dates Carisbrook cemetery and I believe there are few surviving records for Bald Hill, plus a bush fire swept through there and destroyed the wooden marker boards. As husband John Knell Pascoe was resident in Avoca at the time of his second marriage to Honora Burke in 1860, and his sister Elizabeth Trevithick and her family were living in Avoca and she may have been caring for his children, I thought that was the next most obvious place to try. A question - would the Maryborough hospital have serviced the Avoca residents from the 1858/1860 period? Does anyone know this?

Phyllis often shown as Phillis was aged 19 years and James aged 28 years. Both Father's not shown when they married. They went over to Victoria maybe Hannah. Phyllis's Mother went over to live there after Samuel died in 1865 in S.A.?? James may have died in 1862 at CUMB Vic aged 40 years. Reg No. 842. Can any Lister tell me which town or suburb is CUMB is short for ? They had a daughter Elizabeth JAMIESON b abt 1851 Adelaide maybe, though I can't find a Birth here in S.A. or in Vic. I have found a Marriage for Elizabeth JAMIESON In Vic. She married Thomas GROSE, her birthplace shown as Adelaide S.A. They married in 1866. Reg No. 3453. Thomas born at Penzance. Cornwall Eng. Elizabeth GROSE Died in 1929 at Castlemaine Vic aged 81 years. Father. James JAMIESON. Mother. Phyllis GIBSON.

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.

Dear List Does anyone know if the records for Avoca and Maryborough Cemetaries have been transcribed, and if so where do I go to look at them. Any online access? I'm looking for a record of my GG grandmother's Elizabeth Ann Pascoe's (nee Treloar) death, approx 1858. I've not been able to find her on the Digger index. Also looking for the birth and death records for her husband's son through a second marriage - James Pascoe, father John and mother Honora Burke, post 1859. Not sure where to look other than the Digger Index and local cemetaries. Any help much appreciated. Kind regards, Rowena Gough
