Yes, there was a child Catherine born 1845. Have no further details. Was she ever found or was there an Inquest? Am helping out a friend with her family.

Is the child Catherine Riley who wandered into the bush and died at Dandenong in 1848 one of yours?

Further registrations were then made Dandenong. Ellen Riley married James Wheeler 1848 after death of Bernard Riley in 1847. Their first children were born Dandenong then they moved to Woodend in 1860s. An interesting story.

It has been located on the pringvale side of Dandenong by a creek. Charles de Villiers' lived there in 1841 when he was the superintendant of the native Police based as Narre Warren.
