Denise The early school records are housed in the PROV, I've gone through them myself, not Chiltern though all you need is the State School no in the records you will find letters from the teachers, and student attendence records etc..

Thanks Kerry. I tried getting thru on Ray's suggested number today but the person concerned was not at her desk. I'll try that again and then I'll get my chap to check them out for me. I've got two or three avenues on the go now. I had another breakthrough last night regarding Susie and her young years.... Another interesting exercise coming up, the mind boggles at times, as to why people did what they did. regards Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kerry" <kerryb@austarnet.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 11:17 AM Subject: Re: [HC] So near and yet so far > Denise > > The early school records are housed in the PROV, I've gone through them > myself, not Chiltern though > all you need is the State School no in the records you will find letters > from the teachers, and student attendence records > etc.. > > Kerry > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Denise" <denisem@powerup.com.au> > To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 6:36 PM > Subject: Re: [HC] So near and yet so far > > > No not yet Di, wondered if they were held in Melbourne. > I was going to email her tonight . > If anyone knows where the school records are held I would love to find out > and ask my research chap to have a look for me. > > I guess PRO would be a good start? > > regards > Denise > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dianne Carroll" <highcountryheritage@dodo.com.au> > To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 6:31 PM > Subject: Re: [HC] So near and yet so far > > >> Hi Denise, >> Christine Watson would be the only thought - but I suppose you already >> tried >> her??? >> >> Di >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Denise" <denisem@powerup.com.au> >> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> >> Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 5:09 PM >> Subject: [HC] So near and yet so far >> >> >>> Hi all, >>> >>> I am wondering if anyone has ever accessed the Chiltern School records >>> for >> 1867? >>> >>> If I can access these records then I can prove once and for all that >> Susie, daughter #4 of Hiram was born in the US that year. >>> >>> Denise >>> >>> >>> >> >> > >
