Chris; Its in the Ballarat-Clunes area about 10 kms from Coghills Creek and at the foot of Mt Beckworth. Not much there now, however there is a cemetery at Coghills Creek which is full of Scots names. Not sure if there is a cemetery at Glendaruel. Les I have my Patersons Alexander Paterson farming at Glendaruel near Coghill's Creek in the 1870's. Does any lister know anything about this area. I would appreciate any information Regards Chris Farrow > ==== AUS-VIC-GOLDFIELDS Mailing List ==== Practice good internet genealogy - always be polite plus say 'thank you'

27 July 2005 Hi All, Below is an extract I found in the Victorian Government Gazette 1863 which I thought may be of interest to some one. WILFUL MURDER. ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD -FREE PARDON TO AN ACCOMPLICE. WHEREAS on Saturday, the 21st of February last, the body of one David Mullen also known as "Big Davy," was found in a water-hole near Ballaarat, after the lapse apparently of about thirty hours from the time of decease, with the head mutilated and otherwise injured : Notice is hereby given that a reward of One hundred pounds will be paid by the Government for such information as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of the person or persons guilty of causing the death of the said David Mullen. The Governor will also extend Her Majesty's free pardon to any person implicated in the crime above mentioned, and not being the actual murderer of the deceased, who will give the required information. By His Excellency's Command, JOHN O'SHANASSY. Chief Secretary's Office, Melbourne, 18th March, 1863. 1615 Cheers Anne Hanson

I have come across the business of JONES & PETERS, Grocers, in Clunes. They were advertising in the Clunes 'Guardian' in the 1860s - 1870s. The PETERS name is of interest to me, and I know that one of the family was in Clunes at one time before moving on to settle in Ballarat. The idea of him being a grocer is of interest, if he is the man I suspect he might be. I think they might have been in partnership for some time because reference is also made to JONES & PETERS in the 'Talbot Leader' in April 1864, Does anyone know anything about this business and the people named? Or point me in the right direction to find out who this PETERS (of Jones and Peters) is? Trevor

Thank you to the two Helens, Raymond, Beth and Susan for taking the time and interest to answer my query re "ALLA". I have a few places to choose from - will try and narrow it down - maybe some other family member's details may give more information as to the area where the family were living. Your help is very much appreciated. Cheers Joan

Someone was enquiring about Job HANSFORD a few months ago. He is named (along with a couple I have been looking for) as detailed below. Hope it is of interest.

Hello. I am researching John CUNNING and James Erskine CUNNING and the CUNNING and RYRIE goldmines in the CRESWICK area 1860 to 1880. Also Robert JAMIESON and Alexander RYRIE and families in the same area. Is anyone else researching these names?. Cheers, Bob in Melbourne

Mitchells at Delatite are major people - including a vineyard in the 1990s and perhaps longer. I've been to Delatitite, a lovely station. Worth remembering Elynne's writing both for her children's horse books and her outdoor works. The SCV and others for pre 1940s are of importance here I suspect. Tom was 'Country Party', essentially right wing rural conservative.

Hi Listers Have come across Victorian place of birth as ALLA - any suggestions? Cheers Joan

Today I have been looking at the Victorian Government Gazettes for 1861 and 1863. Rivetting stuff! So exciting it sets your hair on fire. NOT. However, my pursuit was the land acquisitions of a couple of Dunolly lads in 1861 so I persisted and struck gold, so to speak. I am left a little puzzled, however, and pose a few questions which, hopefully, listers will be able to help me with. 1. Why would land acquisitions appear in the Government Gazette? The notices appear under the heading, TITLE DEEDS. It seems odd that they would be gazetted. 2. In each case, the Title Deeds were "forwarded for delivery at the Receipt and Pay Offices undermentioned....". What was a "Receipt and Pay Office"? There seemed to be an awful lot of them - Maryborough, Amherst, Dunolly, Moliagul, Clunes, Avoca, Talbot, Majorca, Carisbrook, etc, etc 3. How would I go about finding a map of the actual land for which titles were applied and granted? The largest piece was 7a. 3r. 21p. and the smallest just over 1a. All were in Dunolly. Trevor

Hi all, Reposting my interests. John WILLIAMS b. c. 1831 in Cape Town, South Africa (possibly Welsh origin) d. 6 May 1901 in Warragul (Timber splitter and farmer) m.

On Ellen's MC her parents were listed as John HEYBURN/McGINNIS and Johanna HAYES or HEYBURN Her DC lists her parents as John McGINNIS and Johanna McGINNIS (HAYES). I think John HEYBURN changed his surname to McGINNIS. I have not been able to find Ellen's BC or origin of mother Johanna HAYES although there are many possibilities. Children born in Bendigo area: (1) Sarah Ann McGinnis / McGinness b. 16 Feb 1877 in Kangaroo Paddock, Marong d. 19 Sept 1882 in Melbourne (2) Mary Ann Phenolif / Phenoly WILLIAMS b. 24 Oct 1878 in Burnt Gully, Marong m. Joseph Marshall DUCKWORTH in Sydney in 1904 (who died in 1913 at Geelong) and then married Robert Gustav KIEPERT in 1913 at Geelong. The rest of the family then moved to Warragul c. 1877. Born at Warragul: (3) Johanna WILLIAMS b. 25 Dec 1880 (4) John McGinnis WILLIAMS b. 25 Sep 1882 (my father) (5) James WILLIAMS b. 1885 (6) Henry William WILLIAMS b. 1888 (7) Daniel WILLIAMS b. 1890 (8) Robert WILLIAMS b. 1891 (9) Ellen M WILLIAMS b. 1894 (10) Carol Evalene WILLIAMS b. 1 Oct 1896 Anything about the above would be appreciated. -- Kind regards, Julie mailto:tropikkal@mytown.net.au
