My ancestors THOMAS and CATHERINE ROBERTS selected land at Barnawartha in 1870, after arriving in Victoria in 1852. As we are having a 150th REUNION in the Barnawartha Hall on September 7th 2002, I am trying to trace their whereabouts between these years. They REGISTERED children's births in 1853 at Melbourne, 1856, 1857, 1858 at Woolshed Creek, 1860, 1861, 1863 at Indigo, 1864,1866,1868, 1869 1871, and 1873 at Barnawartha. On the Ovens District Electoral Roll 1856-57, Reid's Creek and Woolshed Division: Thomas Roberts, Woolshed, Miner, Miner's Right. Children's deaths were REGISTERED in 1859 at Woolshed Creek, 1863 at Indigo, and 1865 and after at Barnawartha. The 1863 death REGISTRATION was at Indigo, BURIAL was at Chiltern, and there was an address of HONEYSUCKLE CREEK. 1. Does anyone have any information as to the whereabouts of HONEYSUCKLE CREEK??, and was there any gold found in that area??. 2. Would it be possible that the family was living at HONEYSUCKLE CREEK for some time, and REGISTERING the children at these other places?? Please contact me if you have any interest or connection with the families of THOMAS and CATHERINE (HURLEY) ROBERTS of BARNAWARTHA, or ALEXANDER and AGNES (WHYTE) LENNOX of RUTHERGLEN Thanking you in advance, Tom Martin.
