Hi Folks. Can anyone tell me where I can find information on the Ballarat Benevolent Asylum please? I'm looking for information on John Butler who died there in 1878. I'm told a lot of information on the person is collected when they are admitted. If anyone can help me I'd be most grateful. regards from, Hilary in Melbourne.

Hello Hilary, http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/ has some patient lists. There are a couple of sites that may be useful, http://www.ballarat.com/historic_timeline.htm and a photo is at http://www.trove.net/AULG0001/AULG0001_013148.html Sue >
