Hi Denise, I don't have Echoes of History. A few notes from BATF... P39 South east corner of Ford and Church - 1854 - Wesleyan (Meth?) P89 Six churches in Beechworth in late 19th century. Christ Church is the C of E - consecrated 1869 - has a spire. Wesleyan Methodist build brick chapel in 1857 - doesn't say where - but may be the one. Congregationalists - corner of Loch and Camp - red brick but spire never added Baptist and also used by Church of Christ - somewhere in upper Ford Street RC - St Josephs - not sure where but I don't think it's the one you are looking for Presbyterian - corner of Ford and William completed in 1858 and called St Andrews (this might be it?) Book says it was 'a stuccoed grey exterior with a slim tower and fine corner buttresses rising to pinnacles as three levels and surmounted by spires.....' I will be dining with my brother and sister-in-law tomorrow evening so I will see if they can remember which is which. Now, wait for it, I just looked up Background to Beechworth and it has photos of each of the churches - can you please describe in some detail???? I can photocopy and send to you on Monday if you wish. can't tell from the photos what they are made of. Cheers again - and no I've not been to berrigan yet but I have found a few more descendants on the NSW BDM's on the Web. Still trying...
