Dianne How soon do you need this info, as I will be down in Victoria over chrissy, have to see Ian Stapleton at Harrietville, and I think Walter Mortimer will be accompanying myself and parents for another trip to Wonnangatta so maybe I can catch up with you at Omeo. I am really concerned about the Talbotville cemetery being looked after (not just huts) as there has been vandalism there, could be from the campers. But the cross was broken off my G Grandfathers grave, thanks to one of the cattlemen returning it to my family. This cemetery is not registered and is open to anything that the government wants to do with it. they last told me they wanted it for tourism, and if the families didn't like the idea we could have the remains removed. This was back several years ago when I was with the Cattlemen's association. To me this is an important place as it contains the remains of some of the first pioneer families in that area.

I'm looking for any Culhanes registered pror to 1866, I,m fairly sure that the early days connected to mining over Dargo way was under Beechworth, as when the miners made application for a License to Occupy Land under the 49th Sec of "The Land Act 1869". which is a lease under the Goldfields Residence and Cultivation Act, It had to go through Beechworth first before being sent back to Omeo. The Gippsland Mining District was established by the Governor-in-Council on 17 December 1866 under the provisions of The Mining Statute 1865. This was the seventh and final District to be established. The six original Districts were established in 1858. Crooked River wasn't even named when they were mining there before 1860. So not sure what area they called it. Also (big :-) re living here. Also started writing the book at long last :-) Kerry. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denise" <denisem@powerup.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 02, 2004 7:09 PM Subject: Re: [HC] Mining Kerry, have a very small data base here, what are you looking for?

Burke Museum holds lots of claim registration Kerry - I've found one of Hiram's there in 1855. I don't know if Crooked River was under B/worth at the time.

Hi Denise and list Sorry Denise don't know about this co but, I have a collection of all the miners that were on the Crooked River/ Dargo area, from 1866 0nwards, but I know that there were miners there before Howitt went in to access the area in 1860, I have just read where this was not a mining district until after 1866, hence why the registrations may only show this date upwards, before this the article says states that they were under the Beechworth mining Board.

Hi Robert, There may be no connection, but just listing the Black Family in my line: William Thomas Black b. 1858 at Three Mile Creek d. ? parents were William Black & Margaret Clark William Thomas Black married my cousin Sarah Anne Morgan in 1889 and they had three children. Sarah Anne Morgan b. 1870 in Euroa and d. 1904 in Whitfield. Her parents being Robert Morgan & Catherine Whitty. Regards Shelley ----------------------------------- Hello List, Although I have been watching and reading the list for several months, I thought it about time that I posted my interest.

Here goes: William Conibear b 1894 England d 1947 Tallangatta buried Kergunyah m Elizabeth Mary Black b 1902 d 1963 Thologolong buried Kergunyah.

I have lost a couple of them namely John Alexander Black b 1833 Ballyshannon Ireland d 1917 Tawonga buried ? his wife was Elizabeth Aitken Wyper b 10/1/1836 Linlithgow Scotland d 18/3/1906 Tawonga buried at Yack? Is her husband buried with her? as he is not listed on the headstone. The following were there children - some are found others are not - yet! Alexander Black b 7/10/1860 Bowna, Victoria, d 1939 Never married Annie Aitken Black b 1862 Happy Valley, Victoria, d 1945. m William Taylor John Wyper Black b 9/6/1864 d 27/3/1938 m Isobel Celestian Barton b 4/9/1880 d 19/3/1942 Isabella Jane Black b 1866 Avenel d 21/6/1935 Wangaratta. William Black b 15/8/1868 Morses Creek, Victoria d 1868 James Black b 23/12/1869 Running Creek, d 26/4/1939 m Rachel Maude McCulloch 1899 (my great grandmother) Robert Nimmo Black b 24/2/1872 Running Creek d 23/10/1938 David Henry Black 19/3/1877 d 1879 Yackandandah. Elizabeth Black b 16/5/1881 Yackandandah d 22/12/1950 Wangaratta m William Pool Thompson 1919 Thanks for taking the time for reading, as this is my first attempt at posting, any suggestions for future would be also appreciated.

Hi Irene, Well it is a small world. We lived in Elp.for 20 years, went there in 1975 and loved it. We had some great times in that pub after cricket in the summer time . We would know lots of the same people I guess, some of the old ones have moved on but others are still there. I am researching the Metcalfe shire and doing the pubs at present. In one year the Shire issued 42 liquor licenses so how many 'pubs' could there have been in all those gold rush years. We think we may have found the site of the Four Mile Hotel near Tunnel Hill but difficult to prove. I am waiting to get some more maps for the area but they don't usually show the pubs. Nice to know there is another ex Elphinstone person out there.
