Hi Robert Interested in your Rachel Maud McCulloch. Is she from Scotland or Ireland? We have irish McCulloughs who have been spelt differently in some places. They migrated from County Down from 1850s on to Yackandandah area.

Some of my names are common and already being researched by others, but any assistance is still appreciated. Here goes: William Conibear b 1894 England d 1947 Tallangatta buried Kergunyah m Elizabeth Mary Black b 1902 d 1963 Thologolong buried Kergunyah. My main interest is in the Black line as it would seem they were mostly born in or around Yack and are buried at Yack. 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.

Hello Merren, Rachel Maude was born in Bright, her father Joseph McCulloch emigrated from Ireland in about 1859, he was born in 1832 in Newry, County Down, Ireland. He married Mary Twist in 1863. Information prior to that is a little sketchy at this stage. cheers Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: "Merren Cliff" <mcliff@bigpond.net.au> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 1:23 PM Subject: RE: [HC] Blacks > Hi Robert > > Interested in your Rachel Maud McCulloch.
