Could a kind person please look up if there is a marriage between a Mary and a W Shaw. She could have been a Guthrie born in the early 1900's. I know that this is a bit of a tall order but it is worth a try. Thanks Janis

Margaret It is in the Golden Plains Shire or the old Grenville Shire. Try this addy http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~amandataylor/ and also try to google there are a number of references to Pitfield Plains.

Could someone who has the appropriate cd please look up the death of Patrick O'Neill. I know he died in March 1913 at 81 years old and is buried at Buninyong. I am trying to find out who his parents were and where he came from. Tia Janis

Could someone with an index please look up the inquest of Daniel O'Neill 7/9/1923? What I am trying to find out is his age at death or parents. The ref number is 921 (not sure if this is death ). TIA Janis in hot South Hedland

Hi Pam Have you tried OBRIEN.No punctuation. Jane OBRIEN Timothy Jane Boyd Melb 1866 9915. etc. Margaret

Does anyone have any information on the following families who settled in Axedale in the 1850s and 1860s? Between them they owned a combined area of over 1000 acres fairly close to the Longlea railway station. Pat McGRATH and his wife, Catherine Normoyle, bought their first block in 1864. His sister Bridget McGrath, and her husband, Michael O'GRADY also bought their first block in the same year. Another sister, Susan McGrath and her husband, William DOHERTY (DOORTY) bought neighbouring properties. Yet another sister, Jane McGrath, and her husband, John McNAMARA , had previously bought a block in 1856 and eventually had about 230 acres. There were also Denis McNAMARA, James O'LOUGHLIN and Daniel O'DEA who may also been related. Tony O'Grady Melbourne

Not sure here but have you checked PROV site. They have a number of records on line and also the catalogue.

Thanks to all who replied about Neylan. Yes the 2 men were mine, and the KINNANE seems a very definite possibility to be a missing Elizabeth who the Irish side of the family told me had probably remained in Ireland but no clues from then. Now it seems( since I can't find a marriage here) that she may have arrived here married. Probably arrived as Elizabeth Kinnane.Maybe on the Sorata with her 2 brothers? Still looking for Mary Catherine. You are all wonderful and I appreciate the help. Margaret

Please disregard. A senior moment! Wrong recipients. I was meaning to send thank you to Trevor and list for this great resource. Sorry. Beth

Hi Mavis I put the Family Tree Maker program CD in the post late Thursday so you should get it soon. It is easy to load and use. I don't bother with sending info to Mormon files any more as it is basically all USA stuff shown. No need to return the CD. A reminder of a great resource was on my Goldfields list yesterday. If you go to the State Library of Victoria's catalogue at http://www.slv.vic.gov.au then click on "Catalogues and Databases" and then click on "Pictures Catalogue" you will be led to a search window. Enter the search term for a town, occupation or name and you will come up with same great early photos which can be used to "flesh out" family if you decide to write up a family history and share with others. Click on each thumbnail for a better view of each picture. It is worth reading the full bibliographic description too. To do this, click on "View record for this item". I'm absolutely flat out and doubt that I'll have time to catch up between now and end of school year. Let's have lunch in January after my Dad has gone back home! Cheers Beth Beth Codling bcodling2@bigpond.com

Thanks Carmel. Sue

I was in the mining Exchange just Wednesday and have been there many times over the years. It is definitely not the mining Exchange in the photographs. However their was a Melbourne International Exhibition, The British Court the picture dated Feb 12 1881.

The "British court" referred to is an area set aside for the display of British exhibits at the Sydney International Exhibition 1879-80, so not a Mining Exchange (and not in Ballarat) Jane Quoting Susan <susana@ncable.net.au>: > Thanks to Trevor's lead I had a play with the name Richards (an early > > Ballarat photographer).

Thanks to Trevor's lead I had a play with the name Richards (an early Ballarat photographer). There are some fantastic photos of British Court. Has anyone heard of this? Could it be what is now known as the Mining Exchange? So much for vaccuuming. Sue

Now there's a site where much time time could be spent. The mine reps names were typed in further down the page Les. Thanks for the site Trevor.

THanks Trevor, good lead. While trawling through the pictures on site I looked up Thomas Foster Chuck a leading photographer in Daylesford, Ballarat, and Melbourne and there is one picture there of the leading lights in mining in Ballarat, all named, though hard to read. Thought I would pass this on.

This is on Level 5 of the reading room, under the magnificently restored dome which is worth a trip in to the city for its own sake. (Accessible by lift.) Because of my special interests, I was delighted to see some photographs (ambrotype) on display, taken in 1860/61 of Dunolly and Burnt Creek (Bromley) by Charles Dicker. I enquired at the reference desk re cost of copies. $35 for black and white and $85 for colour reproductions were the figures I was given. I won't be ordering any. Well, I might consider just one! The good news, for those who cannot get into the exhibition, is that you can see the pictures on line. Not as clear as the real thing, but good nevertheless.

It is worth reading the full bibliographic description too. To do this, click on "View record for this item". I think they are worth a look because of they portray the town at the time when the municipality was gazetted and land sales of town blocks were under way.
