The ship Hamlet arrived in South Australia from Perth WA in Feb or March 1854. Is there anyone with access to South Australian newspapers for the time who could do a look up for me. I'll return the favour in Sydney if you wish. Contact me off list for more details. Jill

Tis the season to be jolly - tra lah lah lah - la lah la la the original question - was - where is North Altona - the answer is clear - north of Altona - somewhere south of Footscray and somewhere west of the City of Melbourne - now why the hell this has to develop into some skirmish over crematoriums defeats me - - lets get to the facts - with my broadbrush - by observation - North Altona was a working class suburb for many years - featuring a lot of timber cottages - the wrong side of the river - occupied by "blue collar" workers and later immigrants from Europe - lots of brick veneers now? of-course - in the very early days - the suburb was just north of Williamstown - a place graced with some lovely gardens and "semi-mansions" so there you have it - North Altona is now a developed urban area west of the Melbourne business centre - not chosen by most as the preferred area of settlement in the early days - but now enjoying a popularity previously unknown - in the 1950's 60's 70's and some of the 80's - many Melbourne people would have thought that North Altona is the absoulute "pits" - maybe it still is - but fewer think that way. good luck Robert At 08:57 AM 30/11/00 +1100, you wrote: >Ken, >I do not understand you making a comment such as you have, as it has got a >memorial park and "STILL" has a crematorium attached to it and operating. >"I'd say if your not sure about things don't make comments that can give >people wrong information" > >Kenneth Clark wrote: > >> Hi Hazel >> Yes indeedy North Altona is a suburb of Melbourne and I believe used >> to have a crematorium attached to a memorial park, I don't think it is >> still in operation. >> Regards >> Kenneth Clark >> >> Hazel Magann wrote: >> >> > Hello >> > Can SKS tell me if there is a North Altona in Victoria. >> > >> > Thank You >> > Hazel >> > >> > ==== AUSTRALIA Mailing List ==== >> > Ballarat History Index >> > http://www.southernx.com.au/ballarat1.html >> > >> > ============================== >> > Ancestry.com Genealogical Databases >> > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist2.asp >> > Search over 2500 databases with one easy query! >> >> ==== AUSTRALIA Mailing List ==== >> Ballarat History Index >> http://www.southernx.com.au/ballarat1.html >> >> ============================== >> The easiest way to stay in touch with your family and friends! >> http://www.myfamily.com/banner.asp?ID=RWLIST1 > > > > >==== AUSTRALIA Mailing List ==== >Australians Killed in Action Index >http://www.southernx.com.au/kia.html > > >============================== >Search more than 150 million free records at RootsWeb! >http://searches.rootsweb.com/ >

Hello Hazel, Altona North is a western suburb of Melbourne in Victoria. Hope this helps in some small way. best wishes Gail Bottomley http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gailbottomley/

I now there are people out there researching the Farrell family. I have found a Farrell in a line I am starting to track and hope someone can help me........ Mary Ann Farrell and husband John Sheary/Sherry had a John who died in 1905 at age 84. That would make his birth approximately 1820. Does anyone connect to this Mary Ann Farrell. It is possible she didn't even come to Australia. regards Denise ###################################### Denise Marriott McMahon - ex Melbourne 21 years Brisbane Queensland - Searching - CONWAY - County Clare and N.E.
