oops - never mind - I just sent a reply to the wrong group - but that's OK - I've more info to add: Hi I'm sure plenty of people will help you .. on the electoral roll I've found a Walter James Phillips - orchadist - in Victoria - in 1909 in the Kangaroo Ground subdistrict - possibly him? Other people nearby on the elctoral roll also associated with fruit growing include what appears to be a husband and wife - Francis Knowles Phillips and Katherine MCPHERSON (the maiden name taken from the Vic BDM indexes)!! and nearby: a William McLennan PHILLIPS - all common scottish names so can't be sure - until you supply maybe just a little more info? Here's an interesting piece of info - the Vic index of Katherine's marriage to Francis in Victoria in 1877 indicates that Katherine Phillips nee McPherson was born in New York!!! and a death index suggests a Katherine Phillips nee mcPherson was born in the early 1850s (father James McPherson mother Mary Taylor). So having a mother born in the USA may inspire a person to go to South America to sell fruit tees? :) This may be wild speculation - it looks as though Katherine was born in the USA in about 1853 - but her family came to Victoria in the 1850s - attracted by the gold? Clearly a little more help is needed to sort this out .. do you know where Walter was born - you have his birth date - any idea of the location? It looks unlikely that he ws born in Victoria??? How sure are you of Walter's name? please advise. good luck & thankyou Robert in Melbourne Richard Bierregaard wrote: > Hello, > I'm trying to get more information on my grandfather's family.

Hi Robert J. (from Melbourne), You seem to be on the right track. My great grandmother Katherine McPherson was born in the USA so that seems to be a match, as well as being orchardists. My grandfather's names are definitely Walter James, but I have no information on his birth site, just his birth date Apr 12, 1885. Is more information, birth, marriage and death dates on Katherine McPherson Phillips, Francis Knowles Phillips and any other family members available? This is exciting since it is definitely a match to what I know. Thanks! Richard Greenbelt, MD USA

Hello, I'm trying to get more information on my grandfather's family. Here is what I know: Walter James Phillips was born March 12, 1885 and emigrated to Argentina about 1905-08 where he married Lily Cleland Collins on August 4, 1910. His father Bill? Phillips had a fruit farm (apples & pears I believe). His mother, always referred to as Granny McPherson and here given name may have been Elizabeth (but it could be a grandmother). One other son was William or Will who married (unknown) and had at least one son Francis (Frank) who also lived with his family in Argentina but eventually moved back to Australia (Sydney). He married Sylvia ?? and had a daughter Gloria (I believe). I think Will had a daughter who remained in Australia. Other family members named were Florrie (Florence?), Percy and Lizzie (Elizabeth?) He and his brother Will were in the business of exporting fruit trees to Argentina. Any assistance on finding out about his family in Australia will be much appreciated. Thanks, Richard Greenbelt, Maryland USA

Looking for any connection with ... James Watson FREESTONE b. 1852, South Australia m. 1881 to Catherine Elizabeth COLE from Maryborough. James & Catherine had 4 children near Nhill in Western Victoria, Catherine d. 1889. James FREESTONE remarried in 1890 to Jane MEEK from Mount Gambier. James and Jane had 4 children at Nhill and near Maryborough, Victoria. James & Jane moved to Western Australia 1896-1899 and where James died in 1899. Jane FREESTONE (nee MEEK) remarried in Western Australia to August WILLS. August & Jane WILLS had at least 1 child at Bunbury, WA and it appears that August WILLS died in WA. Jane WILLS (formerly FREESTONE, nee MEEK) returned to Victoria and died at Goroke. Specifically looking for information on August WILLS (who may have died at Fremantle in 1947) Also looking for information on the FREESTONE and WILLS children. Daryl Povey Ballarat, Australia

Angelica, Have you got full certificates for those born in Victoria ? There is a Fuller family in the 1841 census for England that fits your Fullers. They are in Surrey, Newington. The all appear to have been born in Surrey as well. Do you have a copy of this yet?

Hi, Just new to this list, and hoping someone can help! The Fuller family were based in Bendigo and Ballarat. John FULLER and Matilda (nee Samson/Sampson) John (born UK, died April 18 1859 Back Creek, Sandhurst, occupation farmer) Buried? or any other info Matilda (born UK about 1811, died April 15 1861, Inglewood, buried Lodden Cemetery) They had 11 children William, Caroline, Emma, George, Henry, Frances (Fanny), Louisa, Mary Ann, John, Jane, Frederick. Missing info on William (born about 1831 UK) George (born 1836 UK, died 1906 Burkes Flat) Henry (born 1839 UK, died Cham?, Victoria 1915) Frances (Fanny) (born 1841 UK) Louisa (born 1843 Adelaide SA) Jane (born 1850 Adelaide SA) Also John (1849-1915) listed his occupation as a coach driver, and in his obituary it was stated that he had many interesting stories to tell of long drives with government parties in Victoria. Frederick (maybe Frederick Thomas FULLER), (born 1854 Melbourne) married Mary Josephine Winters in Sydney 1879, they had 6 children all born in NSW, but I have not been able to find death info for him. Kind regards, Angelica
