Hello Bill Hope this site is helpful: http://myweb.westnet.com.au/talltrees/resources/vic_abbr.htm Lyn Mildura Vic. -----Original Message----- From: aus-vic-goldfields-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-vic-goldfields-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of lone&Bill White Sent: Friday, 5 August 2011 3:45 PM To: AUS-VIC-GOLDFIELDS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Watta Hospital Hi Listers I have an ancestor - Annie KELLY (nee O'CONNER), Registration no 3717 - who was living in the Ararat mining area and gave birth to a baby in Raglan, 1902 who survived. She is listed in dying at "Watta Hospital" in Victoria , 1902. A "Watta Hospital" cannot be located was wondering if this could be a shortening of Wangaratta Hospital which was open from 1872 to 1975. Appreciate any thoughts from listers.
