Dear listers does anyone know if medical records survived from a Doctor Tivcedale or similar name who practiced in Ballan mid 1860-70 or Undertaker Samuel Leith, or Rev Henry J Edwards,C of E. Has the old Ballan Cemetery had a plan done of who is buried where yet? I was looking for info on John SMITH died 31 Aug 1868, and his son William died 31 May 1859 at EMLY PARK, and buried at Ballan O C. cheers Valmae

Hi Valmae I have a list of those buried in the Old Ballan Cemetery. It was put together by the Ballan Historical Society. The list was published in one of ther newsletters and I was lucky enough to get a copy of it when I was investigating my Lyons, Dwyer and Shanahan family in the area. Now to your query It simply lists that a Jhn Smith age 51 died or was buried 31st August 1868 and that he lived near Ballan. William Smith age 5 months died 31st May 1859 Emly Park. I would doubt that a plan could be done unless it was found from the original days. There are some remainng tombs and head stones but the last time I visited it was rather bare having been cleared and flattened. The other Smiths listed include Elizabeth 18 18th Aug 1862, Ballan, Francis 53 15th May 1875, Ingliston, Henry Curtis 2 1/2 years 4th May 1861 Dr's Creek nr Ballan, Hannah 65 yrs 16th Feb 1873 Ballan, Mary Ann 5 yrs 5th Dec 1862 Nr Ingliston, William 37 years 12th May 1874 Ballarat Rd nr Ballan. Now I have to admit that in was around 1996 when I was given this news letter by June Huggins C/- Post Office Gordon. This list was compiled by D Wickham and J Huggins from the registers of the Government statist in Melbourne. Transcriptions from the Monuments in the cemetery, death notices, obituaries, inquests etc in the Bacchus Marsh Express and the Ballan Times, the Walsh Papers and various family histories. I hope this is helpful.
