Hello listers, Is anyone researching the family of Francis BURNS and Margaret LYNCH? Looking for birth and marriage place of this couple. They were first sighted in Box Hill when child no. 5 died, but no clue where they came from. They had 8 known children with the last two born at Cranbourne and Koo Wee Rup where the family remained until at least 1907. Margaret died in January 1924 at Coburg and is buried at Fawkner but not with Francis. Her probate says that Francis was still alive in 1924 and I'm trying to determine (without buying the death cert) if Francis is the same Francis who died in Benalla. I know I could get all the answers from a later child's birth cert but trying to avoid this. Jenny

27 July 2005 Hi All Am currently reading ‘The Difficulties of my position: The diaries of John Buckley Castieau 1855 – 1884. It makes for very interesting reading. Have just come across a William ANDERSON who died at Eastern Gaol, Melbourne on 24 October 1855. There was an inquest into the death on Thursday 25th October, 1855. The verdict being that the deceased died from Delirium Tremens. It seems William had a wife and two children. If any one is researching William ANDERSON then contact me off line and I’ll give you further details from the book. Anne Hanson

Hi Judy, I quote,"According to the Postal Directory, Matt Ryan (owner of allotment 208) had the "Farmers Arms Hotel". This was probably on the north west corner of the township. Matthew Ryan was one of the first fifteen people to open a Bank account in Dookie. Do you by any chance have a copy of the book Dookie the years to 1988? it has a very large amount of info on the Ryan families that lived there. I did not see too much on Matt Ryan though.

Hi Kathryn. Ivy died at Malvern in 1982 (Vic Regn No 07196). I'm not at all sure why, but her name rings a bell with me. My mother trained at the Homeopathic (later Prince Henry's) in the late 1920s, and I'm wondering if that's the connection. Her name then was Frances McDonald.

Does anyone have any information at all on the Farmers Arms Hotel at Dookie North. It was run by Matthew Ryan, the years would have been 1870-1880's. This is all the information I have so far. I don't want any of the Ryan BDM's just if someone know anything about the years at the Dookie North Hotel. Regards Judy

I have a story written by Ivy Elmer in 1980 re her life in Murmungee and Beechwoth late 1800's early 1900's Our scanner has crashed so will scan it was soon as I can. She mentions Jones, Elmer, Ellen, Kneebone, Vicar Mr Taylor and life at Murmungee school etc. She also mentions my great Auntie Frances Jones burning down the house! Ivy then talks about her life as a nurse and owner/matron of a few hospitals in Victoria She talks about the working mens college (now RMIT) , Victoria coffee palace, Uxbridge house, Clifton Hill, South Yarra, Winfield nursing home, her nursing days at Eye and Ear hospital, Homeopathic (Now Prince Henrys), Clevedon mansions (Now Hilton Hotel), Jyn Jyn cafe, Exhibition building used as a hospital during an epedimic, Nurse Long, Dr Hendricson, Dr Killmier, Thornbury Hospital, St Aidans (which Ivy Elmer ran), She did nursing from 1913 to 1968. I am not sure the date Ivy died but after 1980 (Would appreciate a look up for her death date parents Samuel Elmer and Frances Jones) Regards Kathryn
