Hi List Well it proves its worth putting up photos on the net. On my family photos page the man from Ballarat with beard in Oval photo has been identified by Dot Wickham/ Clare Gervasoni as being Mathew Burnett "The third man in your photos (in the oval) is definitely Matthew Burnett, a Yorkshire evangelist who came to Australia, and Ballarat around 1865-67. He was connected to the Methodist church and the Ballarat Town and City Mission.His photo is on the front of a magazine called 'Good Cheer' of September 15th 1879" Now I finally know who he is. I will have to find out why our family had an original photo of him. Cheers Kathryn http://www.angelfire.com/folk/ourfamilyphotos
