Hi Patsy, Thanks for your email. Unfortunately I can find nothing out about Eliza Duffey. She did have two sisters that were in the House of Industry and I have managed to find them and I know that Eliza had a child Walter in 1852 there also but do not know where she was in 1851. Most of the tobacco is grown at Myrtleford just a few kms away from Wangaratta but there are now lots of wineries up and running.
