Hello to the kind person who answered my query about the GERBES family. I inadvertantly deleted the email and didn't take your name. The information was very helpful, thank you very much. Regards Nancy Martin, Phillip Island

For those of you with Irish ancestors this is a site which may be of interest. Although it relates mainly to immigrants to the States, it is still relevant to Australia in many ways.

A big thankyou to all who responded to inquiry, espically those who were awake and did so last night. I have now added the RG's BDMs to the favoriate list so can find it in future. I have always used Fisc. For those who are curious as why I need the information in a hurry in the middle of the night I have typed up an explamation which I tyied to send to all how responded. If I missed anyone sorry. Thank you all very much for responding to my query re Priscilla Willington’s maiden name. I was writing a submission on why some buildings should not be demolished . I had a very tight deadline and was trying to figure out why the evidence was giving me a building on land that had not yet being sold. It was offered for sale as vacant land in 1893, but was not purchased to 1896 but is being shown in sketch maps as having a shop built on it in 1894. When it was sold the block in question plus about 3 feet of the next block was also sold so it looked as there was an oversize building on the supposed vacant land. About 11 pm I discovered one of my politician developers had been a builder before he went into politics. As the building in question was transferred to Priscilla Jane presumably the daughter in law of the person who purchased the land I was wanting to see if by any chance if she was the daughter of any of the land developers. With the surname of Dale she was not, unfortunately. It would have been a nice solution. Again Many thanks Elizabeth A Roberts

A NSW marriage certificate I acquired from 1868 shows the partners names, but no age, parents, or birthplace. I researched the Minister that married them, and found no record of him either - the actual church was not formed until sometime later. I was told to contact the Uniting Church Records and Historical Society in regards to viewing the original register, or any other indexed materials on these three people. The result was - nothing. What do I do now?

Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of ships arriving in Victoria in 1851. Or station records for a place at Denliquin owned by the Falkiner's. I am trying to find my ancestor arrival, Joseph Hutchison was married at Pitfield in 1856, and died in NSW in 1905. His death certificate states he arrived in 1851, on a recnt trip to Vic, we found hospital records at Avoca, where he stated he arrived in 1851. The only way I seem to be able to find him will be to search every ship that arrived in that year. I also know that he worked for Falkiner's at Denliquin in 1879 when his last child was born. Any other ideas would be gratefully accepted, we has hit a brick wall with this Than you in advace Gail Bargo NSW

Hello Robert Sister Theresa ELLIOTT, who is assisting me in the research of the WYNNE Family in Victoria, says in her short story on the family: " Anne WYNNE married John CHAMBERS on Sunday 30 April 1854 in the Catholic Chapel Ballarat, which was on the site of the present St Alipius Catholic Church." --- " The marriage was celebrated by Father Matthew DOWNING, an Augustine priest, who had arrived in Ballarat in the late 1852 as Ballarat's population continued to swell. He erected a tent church and named the parish St Alipius, after a 4th century companion of St Augustine." ------- "When Father DOWNING was leaving the parish in the mid 1854 ----- he was given 300 sovereign which he returned to the people to roof their timber and canvas church." A number of their children where baptised/buried there but no further description is given. I hope this is helpful as she spent a lot of time researching the family history. Theresa can be contacted at: elliottt@one.net.au HOWEVER, her mother has just died in Western Australia and she may not be available at the moment.
