Mike, Robert Ritchie De GRAVES, b. Wodonga 1911 (#35859) to John Robert & Margaret Florence RITCHIE. Stanilaus De GRAVES (b. Woolshed), m'd 1911 #3957 Elsie Isabella WAITE... ch'n were Kathleen Ellen (1912, Melva Martha (1915) & Daphne (1919). My interest was sparked as I know also of a De Graves family based in Yackandandah (where I live). John De GRAVES & wife Ellen HARRINGTON had at least 4 ch'n here: John Robert (1854, #7431), Martha Honora (1859, #21993), Jeremiah James (1865, #5986), and Michael Joseph (1862, #11843). Martha Honora married Albury saddler Thomas CHUBB in 1882, and descendants of this family still live in Albury.
