Hi Christine, I missed your original posting, so can't reply to you directly. There is a Jobs Gully in Eaglehawk, in fact it is at the bottom of my street! A book of early residents of Eaglehawk has the following entry for your family: MacLaurin, George. Miner. Born Scotland. No further information known. Spouse: Married 1874 in Victoria to Annie Ballantyne. No further information known. Issue: William Cooper/Cowper born 1875 at Castlemaine, died 30.10.1882 at Jobs Gully aged 7 years, buried at Eaglehawk, Alice Mary born 1877 at "The Loddon", George Valentine born 1884 at Eaglehawk, John William born 1887 at Eaglehawk, Ann born 1890 at Eaglehawk, Francis Norbet born 1893 at Eaglehawk. NB. William (eldest child) is the only burial in his plot at the Eaglehawk cemetery. Best wishes, Marg. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Evans <devans@ncable.net.au> To: <AUS-VIC-GOLDFIELDS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 12:56 PM Subject: Re: Maclaurin > Hi Christine, > There is a Jobs Gully in Bendigo area near Eaglehawk, possibly others > in other areas as well. > > Dave in Ballarat > At 12:48 PM 11/10/2005, Christine Johnston wrote: > >I am new to this list so please bear with me. > >I am searching for any information on the family of George > >Maclaurin, he was born in Scotland, married in Castleaine, his > >children are listed as being born at "Jobs Gully " Does anyone have > >information on this area or where i should search for same. > > > >Christine > > >
