Interested to know if anyone has a reference to a TWEEDIE family in the Merino area ca 1867. Mrs TWEEDIE was listed as a midwife to the birth of a PATERSON child at Dwyer's Creek, near Merino in 1867. More details at.. http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/merino/paterson_jno.htm This is the first occasion that this name has cropped up in the area in my research.
