Hi List The names I'm researching in the Goldfields area are MURDOCH, STODDEN and MARTIN. Robert MURDOCH and Margaret McCALLUM, my 2xggrandparents, were married in Glasgow, Scotland February 1843 before they came to Victoria (don't know exactly when) and settled in the Bendigo area. Their son Archibald MURDOCH married Margaret SINGLETON, parents John SINGLETON and Sarah RYAN, in 1892 and they had 4 children before Margaret died in 1901, Margaretta, John William, Robert Joseph (my grandfather) and Ada. Archibald's second wife was Lillian Rebecca KINGSHOTT and they had 2 more children. Richard STODDEN and Ann PETT were married August 1853 in Gwennap, Cornwall, England and they settled in Ballarat. I don't know when they arrived in Australia but the first of their children was born in Victoria about 1860 (if someone doesn't mind sending me BDM's for the Stodden's in Victoria, I would very much appreciate the look ups). John MARTIN married Rebecca LACEY. (Again if someone doesn't mind sending me the BDM's, I would again very much appreciate the information. I remember that the marriage was under MORTON and not MARTIN:) I'm told that John MARTIN was somehow involved in the Eureka Stockade but I don't know how or any other details. Anyone connecting with these families at all? Regards Faye
