I have been researching my wife’s family (Rooney) and and one of her relatives (Eileen Mary Rooney) married Frederick George Baillieu. They were married in Maryborough Queensland Australia on 5/11/1917. They had 3 children Redmond Joseph Baillieu born 1919 in NSW Australia (the Redmond comes from Eileen's stepfather William Archer Redmond –related to the Redmonds of the Irish parliament) George Baillieu born 1/8/1920 in Milwaukee Wisconsin USA and Dawn born about 1923 where? As a bit of background the Baillieu families were and still are very influential families in Australia and were very powerful during the late 1800s and early 1900s. They were heavily involved in the mining industry especially the Broken Hill Mines which were at that time the richest silver, lead and zinc mines in the world. Frederick George was related to these families. He was born in Wales. He made a name for himself in Australia as a very successful boxing promoter. Below is his obituary from the New South Wales (NSW) paper. The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954) Monday 9 August 1926 Obituary MR. GEORGE BAILLIEU. Mr. George Baillieu, well-known throughout Australia as a boxing promoter and sportsman, died in a private hospital at Randwick early yesterday morning. Although his health had been falling for some time Mr. Baillieu, who was 60 years of age, seconded in the principle bout at the Stadium on Saturday night one of his men, Joe Gonsalves. Immediately after he left the Stadium he collapsed. Friends took him to his home, whence Dr. Solomon had him conveyed to hospital. He did not regain consciousness. In his youth Mr. Baillieu, who was a member of the Baillieu family of Melbourne, and like them came from Wales, achieved considerable fame as an amateur sportsman. He was associated in boxing at the National Sporting Club, London, and professionally handled Jim Driscoll, Jimmy Wilde, and Llew Edwards, the champion lightweight. He made several trips from Australia to America and the Philippines in search of boxers for the Stadium. He married a stepdaughter of Mr. W. A. Redmond, of the "Daily Telegraph." She survives him with a family of three children, the eldest of which is not yet seven. The funeral will leave the Church of the Holy Cross, Bondi, Bondi Junction, at 10.30 . o'clock this morning. ------------------------ George Baillieu jnr. (born 1920) was killed in action in WWII in Malaya. As you no doubt can guess with my surname I have Welsh connections. My grandfather came from Loughor, Glamorganshire. Hope this is of some help.

Dear Robert, I think I am right in saying that until fairly recently Ted Baillieu was Premier of Victoria, but resigned......anyone interested should be able to trace his path fairly easily.
