I'm trying to find more about the Hynes family. Altho my interest centres on Bendigo, I believe the name came from Ballarat. The first contact is when Michael James Hynes married Ellen Fox in 1898. He died in 1913, she in 1904. I believe they had 5 children in that short time - Mary, Joseph, Michael, Patrick and Martin. If anyone is researching this line, I'd welcome contact. Paul Blair Canberra
