Daer Listers, On a marriage certificate (c.1854) I have just received, the bride and groom list their current place of residence as DANDENONG CREEK. Can anyone give me an idea where in present day Melbourne that might have been? Also the bride gives as her profession TEACHER OF SCHOOLS. Could anyone tell me whether there was any formal listing of teachers and/or schools at that time (c.1854)? Many thanks Noelle Oke Noelle Oke ALBURY NSW Australia [email protected]

Hi everyone, Researching GEORGE DAWSON AND FANNY NATHAN BURROWS born around 1832, possibly Port Stephens. They were married at Hanging Rock NSW in 1852 had at least 6 children, one being Jane Dawson, born 1860, and appear to have stayed in the area of Port Stephens to Singleton area, may have worked on a property or area called New Frengh???. where Jane was born. George came out from Liverpool England, goodness knows when. Any help appreciated, have hit a very large brick wall. Thanks Dellas Central Coast

Could SKS please tell me if there is an index to Australian wills or if it is possible to access Australian wills in the UK. Thank you Gillian

Hi all, Is there anyone doing research around the Dungog area?. I am looking for information about GEORGE YOUNG RANKIN married to Mary. Mary is buried in Dungog also son William Melrose Rankin, Both died 1908. I understand the family lived in the house where the Dungog railway station now stands. I think George is buried in Dungog could be around 1892, not sure. Nor when he came out from Scotland. He married in NSW in 1855. They had 6 children All help appreciated Thanks Dellas Central Coast

Here is probably a bit more useless information, Henry Bolton & Ann Bolton (Bolton is listed as her maiden name as well)came to Aus I don't know when but settled in Queensland, possibly around Toowoomba and later in Brisbane. I have no more then 2 of their sons names George b ? & Peter b abt 1845 Co Sligo Ireland. I have more on Peter if you find a link. Do any of the children have a christian name of Politt, Poulet or something similar.?? Just nan once told me that Poulit was some sort of family name, it was her father Charles Boltons middle name.
