I am wondering if anyone has any knowledge of the Maher family of Sadhurst (Bendigo) in the 1870s and 1880s. My main interest is in Alfred John MAHER, born there in 1877, the eldest son recorded for Alfred MAHER and Frances Elizabeth STAGG. They had a further ten children born there, and I cannot find a record for their marriage. I am aware of the details in the pioneer Index and Federation Index, but little else about Alfred John Maher until he is appointed as Reader in the Anglican Church at Cann River in 1911. After that I am fine - and he was a fine amateur photographer too. If anyone has knowledge of this family, or of Alfred John Maher's movements pre 1911, I really would love to hear from them. Both his parents died at Bendigo, his mother in 1920 and his father in 1922. Thanks! Linda kapana@netspace.net.au -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
