Hi Merren, Here is Reginald McMillan (son of William McMillan and Martha Jane McKibbin) Their first child, Reginald was born on March 17th 1885, possible at Stanley. After leaving school he worked in the district as a miner. He later married Lucy Flannery and they had two children. Lucy died in 1918, so their two children were separated for some years. Their son James went to an aunt in Barnawartha and Mary stayed with Martha. They were later reunited when the family moved to Melbourne. Reginald lived with his mother for most of his life after the death of his wife. Lucy is buried at Burwood Cemetery. Reginald died in 1963 and was cremate at Springvale cemetery. In 1894 he must have been staying with his grandparents, Robert McKibbin and Mary Ann McKibbin, nee McGee. Can't find out who Alexander McCullough is, though - thought you might know.

Thanks for the Reg McMillan info. Thanks to Denise I think we have Alexander Surname: MCCULLAUGH Given Names: James Alexander Event: B Spouse Surname/Father: John Spouse Gvn Names/Mother: Mary Ann PRIESTLY Age: Sex: Birth Place: YACK Death Place: Year: 1886 Reg Number: 7287 Denomination: Parish: Fiche: It’s a bit tenuous but James Alexander son of William John and Mary Ann (nee Priestley) - Mary Anne McKibbin's (nee McGee) sister was Alice McGee married to William John's brother James. Bit distant but given he was visiting, a possibility. I did not have him as a child because of the misspelling. But there was a nice gap between Robert Moore (1884) and Elizabeth Adelaide (1888) just for him. Haven’t found his death as yet, nor a marriage – is he on your Yack cemetery CD?
