If anyone is interested I will be speaking at DPS this Sunday about rural education in the south-western district of Victoria in the early years of the 20th century. The talk is based on how schools and education were influenced by a) Closer Settlement b) WW1 c) Soldier settlement Much of what I have to say is applicable to Victoria generally. For details on venue, etc. see the DPS site at http://home.vicnet.net.au/~dpsoc/frames.htm We would love to make you welcome. Cheers Beryl O'Gorman Greensborough Victoria Australia List Admin

Hi All In the course of the Unit I was doing last semester Anne Grant of History House kindly researched the Portland newspapers for reports of the damage wrought by the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1919. With her permission Daryl has uploaded this information to the Digby website articles at http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/digby/art-map.htm Also, as I have become rather interested in this topic after researching it I would love to hear from anyone who has stories or statistics or references about this incredible epidemic. And put them on the list please as I know many people would be interested. Cheers Beryl O'Gorman Greensborough Victoria Australia List Admin

One of the large family groups was that of Robert HAWKER who married Sarah MERRETT in 1873 and had 16 children and lived around the Kaniva area. Jack's HAWKER website can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/jackhawker/ Jack's email address is - "Jack Hawker" <ajhawker@earthlink.net> Daryl Povey

Hoping someone on the mailing list will be able to help a friend of mine track down her great grandfather. His name is Carl August Larson, also known as Charles August Larson. He was born 8 Dec 1857 on the island of Oland in Sweden and was naturalised in Victoria, Australia on 16 Feb 1898. He married Eugenia Florinda Bernasochi around 1889/1890 in Melbourne. Their youngest child was born in 1910. Can you solve the mystery of where Carl/Charles died? Did he stay in Victoria? I fyou have any information which may assist in the search, or you are researching this family, can you please contact Trudy direct at TRUDY.CURL@asbbank.co.nz

Just to help kick things along I'm reposting my interests. I personally have no known connections to the region but my wife is descended from Donald Mc PHERSON and the third of his three wives, Maria NOLAN. Donald, from the Ardnamurchan Peninsula in Argyll came to Stawell, or Pleasant Creek as it was known then, in the very early 1850s, working as a shepherd for the Mc Millan family. He was accompanied by his first wife, Janet Mc ARTHUR and two small sons, Alexander and Donald. Janet died shortly after of what was described by an unqualified medical practitioner as 'scurvy' but was darkly hinted at in a later newspaper report as 'poisoning'. Shortly after Janet's death Donald married again - to Sarah Mc LEAN (whose origins and means and date of arrival in Australia remain obscure) with whom he had another five children. Sarah committed suicide in 1864 in what appears to have been a fit of post natal depression. It was not long after this that Donald married the station cook, Maria Nolan, producing in due course a further four children. He acquired property of his own somewhere along the way as did several of the children. Mystery surrounds the fate of the two oldest sons - Donald disappeared after having been seen in the company of some dubious characters and while carrying a large sum of cash. Alexander disappeared without trace also. Names of families into which various children married include: EVANS RAMAGE HUNTER SPARROW OULTON Hope this is of interest and look forward to any info that SKS might care to share. Regards Peter, the older of the tworobbos at Bairnsdale
