I spent some time this morning at the library of the Genealogical Society of Victoria looking at publications on Scotch College: they were 1. "A History of Scotch College 1851-1925" authored by a committee in 1926 2. "Directory of Old Scotch Collegians" published by the collegians in 1997 3. An index to the obituaries in "The Scotch Collegian" None of these publications contain anything like a full list of pupils or teachers who passed through the school and I found very little of interest. For Denise only one Gemmell, James who joined the Old Collegians in 1928 For Connie Thompson, no mention of Francis Thompson, Art master For Rosie Butler, no Butlers of those names For Ian Hastie of Colorado, An obituary of a Thomas John Edgar Hastie in "The Scotch Collegian of December 1965, page 263. He died 25 Sep. 1965, was a prefect in 1908 and in the football team 1907-1908. After leavong school he managed the family farm at Tatura. If this is your man, Ian, I could send you a photocopy of the whole obituary which contains a lot more Peter Kelly

From Ian in Colorado: Thanks Peter, he was a cousin of my father and I did not known that he also attended Scotch. He has a daughter still living in Tatura, but she does not know much about the family history. Yes please send me a copy of the obit. If you need an address I will send it offline.

Paul, you are a gem. Thank you for doing this. You certainly spent a lot of your own time helping out. I for one appreciate it. regards Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kelly" <pgkelly@melbpc.org.au> To: <AUS-VIC-NE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 2:24 PM Subject: [AVNE] Scotch College > I spent some time this morning at the library of the Genealogical Society of Victoria looking at publications on Scotch College: they were > 1.
