Hello everybody, My great grandfather, Andrew William Fyfe, arrived at Portland on the "Severn" on 9 December 1856. The passenger list shows the names and personal information about the passengers, and who hired them and the wages and contract term. However, the wages are specified as a number, without any units, e.g., wages 35, Term 6 mos. Does anyone know whether the wages are shillings per week, pounds per month, pounds for the contract term, or some other combination? Any help in clarifying this will be appreciated. Dennis Fyfe

Hi Folks Current project on identifying the original 39 WW1 Soldier Settlers on the "Struan Estate", later known as Paschendale betweem Merino and Coleraine. Some only remained for a short time, making identification difficult.

To all, I have received so much information & assistance re the Hill/Hook family from Casterton, I must thank everyone again. This is a magic group. For the final results, our guy, James Joseph Hill, is the son of James Hill & Mary Ann Hook. Mary Ann died in 1869 & in the following year, James married her sister, Jane & had another family of children - all told there were 15. BonnieB

I have found that Death certificates are very useful in these situations. they give a good summary of a persons life including a list of their spouses and children. Like all certificates you do need to be careful as errors do occur - on my grandfathers marriage certificate it gives his fathers name the same as his... it was an error, presumably his name was written into that space by mistake.

Cynthia, Just for interest, there was also a property in NSW near what has been described as 'The Head of the Wollondilly' (river, the head of which was probably near the town Roslyn, some 30km north of Goulburn) It was one of many owned by a Captain Macarthur who I think was Captain Edward Macarthur, the son of John Macarthur of merino sheep fame at Parramatta and Camden. Anyhow, it was on this property that the McEachern family and James Cameron worked prior to their great overland trek to the Western District where they eventually acqired several large runs around Casterton/Strathdownie. It is quite probable that the naming of the Victorian/Penola Limestone Ridge runs may have had its roots with members of these families although none were known to have owned such a property. However interestingly, one of their properties was named Roslyn, after the district where the Macarthur Limestone Ridge property was located. If anybody has any information on the NSW Limestone Ridge property I would love to hear of it. Don Sutherland

Hi Yvonne, I have had a quick look at the Hill/ Hook(e) families of Casterton, and my thoughts would be that your James Joseph's Father was James and his Mother was Mary Ann. Mary died in 1869, (record attached), and James remarried Jane Hook (may have been related to Mary) in 1870 and had 8 more children. This would only be a guess!Digger - Pioneer Index. Victoria 1836-1888 Query ----- Surname : hill (4156 matches) Spouse Surname/Fathe : hoo* (688 matches) Total matching records: 2 -------------------- Surname: HILL Given Names: Mary Event: D Spouse Surname/Father: Hooke Joshua Spouse Gvn Names/Mother: Harriet UNKNOWN Age: 32 Sex: Birth Place: NORF Death Place: Year: 1869 Reg Number: 3609 Denomination: Parish: Fiche: As for the names, I would think that Mary was the first wife, even if she is referred to as Mary Jane this may have been confusion between the 2 wives, the death certificate information may have been given by someone who was not totally informed. I would say that Louisa Jane was probably known as Louisa or Jane as it was not uncommon for that era to go by the second name instead of the first. You could get Jame's (the father) death certificate and if I am correct it should list both wives and all the children. Again this is only assumtion, but that is what we do first in research. I hope you find them.

Hi Bonnie, Victorian birth certificates often list other children of the family. You could probably sort this problem by just buying one birth certificate - for the youngest child. This should then list all that child's older siblings, assuming the informant at the registration remembered all the names and the clerk wrote them down correctly. Penny >>> "Yvonne Bean" <ykb@gil.com.au> Thursday, 14 June 2007 9:09 am >>> Good morning, I am assisting a non-gene neighbour put his mother's family together for her, but have come up with a bit of a problem. We have a James Joseph Hill - who was born in Casterton in 1858, the son of James & Mary Jane Hook (death cert). He married Mary Jane Craig in Adelaide 1881. Problems: 1. The birth Indexes say that the mother's name was 'Mary Ann', not 'Mary Jane'. 2. Looking at the Indexes, there seems to be more than one Hill family in that area with the father being a 'James Hill' & the mother a 'Louisa Jane' or 'Jane' or 'Mary Jane' or 'Mary Ann' Hook/e. These children were born in Casterton 1857 to 1888. Can anyone suggest the best way to separate these into the correct family groups? I've also looked at the deaths indexes to try & separate, but 'Jane' can mean either 'Louisa Jane' or 'Mary Jane'. There is a James Hill marrying a Jane Hook in 1870 Victoria on the indexes. I've checked SA - nothing. I would cost a mint to go for all the certificates so any assistance or ideas would be muchly appreciated. Thanking you, BonnieB Brisbane

To Lorene, Julie & Allan, Thank you so very much for your replies, interest & advice. Lorene, those deaths are for the other Hill / Hook family & so far, I haven't been able to link them. You were able to confirm that with the informative info from the Ian Marr indexes, so I can now take those deaths from my 'possible' lists. Thank you. Julie - you advise is noted will see what comes with the indexes & the bank balance of the neighbour. <grin> BonnieB Good morning, We have a James Joseph Hill - who was born in Casterton in 1858, the son of James & Mary Jane Hook (death cert). He married Mary Jane Craig in Adelaide 1881. <snip>

Daryl, Re. the maps referred to at http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/digby/past_nth.htm, are there any for other locations nearby in Victoria? I am interested in the following Stations: Gazette (SW Penshurst), Merrang (S Penshurst), Albert Park (near Serpentine) and Nareeb Nareeb (SW Victoria somewhere). I have ancestors who managed these stations in the 19th century.

Hi Yvonne, I looked at Ian Marr's cemetery index as Allan mentioned and found at Casterton Cemetery:- James Hill born C1830 died 1/4/1915 aged 85 years father of Mary and Clarence. Also Jane Hill born C1848 died 19/2/1922 mother of Mary and Clarence. I looked up the deaths for them and found:- Jane Hill mother Harriet Wright father ? Hook James Hill parents unknown. Vic BDM Mary Jane Hill died aged 37 in 1908 at Casterton. Parents James Hill and Jane Hook Hope this helps, regards, Lorene > Good morning, > > I am assisting a non-gene neighbour put his mother's family together for > her, but have come up with a bit of a problem. > > We have a James Joseph Hill - who was born in Casterton in 1858, the son > of > James & Mary Jane Hook (death cert).
