1. Re: [GEELONG] Colac Methodist Church Wesleyan [1]
Hi Russell, In the book "Forest, Lake and Plain" the following is mentioned. "By 1858 there were a number of Methodist families located in the area and the need for a church was felt. The goal was realised by the erection of a stone church built on land donated by Mr. A. Dennis in 1858. In the same year services were held at Ryan's barn on the south-west corner of Murray and Polwarth Streets. A half acre of land was soon purchased in Church Street for five shillings, where a brick Wesley Church was built,

I did locate this report from 2005 which says the wesley church and hall in grant st colac is under uniting church ownership. and relate to its status as a heritage building, it has some interesting descriptions so was obviously standing then if this is the same one. http://www.heritage.vic.gov.au/admin/file/content56/c3/Colac%20Church%20explantory%20note.doc linda
6. Re: [GEELONG] Earliest Victorian Photos [1]
Hi Linda, Sorry to take so long to reply - car repairs to be done, visitors to collect and entertain, etc. Re the props, backgrounds, and clothing in old colonial photos, it is my understanding that the backgrounds for "studio" photos were portable, often painted backdrops, such as would be used in the theatre. There were a few special pieces of furniture, eg chair, table, plant stand, etc. I believe that the photographer would have some pieces of clothing to loan the client if necessary, eg a jacket,

8. Re: [GEELONG] Colac Methodist Church Wesleyan [1]
Thank you Dorothy, That too is very interesting. It appears that before 1858 there was no church. This being the case where would the baptisms have occurred? Would they have perhaps been at home or perhaps in the house of the minister. The minister that performed the baptism for Mary Jane Harris in 1851 was Frederick Lewis.

9. [GEELONG] Colac [1]
Hello Listers, I hope this is the right list for the Colac area. I am researching my Harris family I was wondering if anyone knew if the Colac Wesleyan church was still standing and if there were pictures available. I have tried google with no luck. If the church is still there does anyone know if the records are available either on the web or through Libraries. The first child of Thomas and Emma Harris was baptised in this church in Jan 1851 following her birth in Nov 1850. Both Thomas and Emma were livin

Hi, I'm trying to decipher what I assume are place names on BDM certificates - I've checked the Geelong place names but nothing seems to stand out as matching the certificates. If anyone knows this area well, would I be able to email the certificates to see if you can read them? Thanks Olwen
11. [GEELONG] Colac Methodist Church [1]
I've just consulted "A Century of Victorian Methodism" author C Irving Benson, First Edition 1935. I found no Frederick Lewis in the list of deceased ministers but a reference on page 99 to 'Victorian Methodism graduated into the status of a District in 1851, and Butters became the first Chairman .... 'The first regularly constituted District Meeting - as the Synod was then called - in Victoria was held by him on 9th September 1851 at which were present .....Frederick Lewis, Secretary; ....." page 44

Hi Linda, Unfortunately the City of Greater Geelong has a bad habit of restructuring their web site and forgetting that people actually have links to them! http://www.geelongaustralia.com.au/Services_In_Geelong/Archives/ At least that one works for the moment.

Hi Russell - there is a Colac Wesleyan Church still standing but it is a modern type building which may not be the original one you are seeking.

Hello, my name is Olwen and I started looking into my family tree a couple of months ago. My great great great grandfather William Wilkie Foulds died in Marcus Hill in 1901 and is buried with his second wife Janet (d. 1902) in Queenscliff cemetery. They'd been in Victoria about 45 years, before that William Wilkie had been about 5 years in SA after coming from Stevenston, Ayr, Scotland to SA in 1849 with his first wife and children as government assisted immigrants. William and Janet had 5 children
23. Re: [GEELONG] Marcus Hill area [1]
Thanks for your help, Susie. I did see Paywit on the list but the misspellt one looked a bit like Parvil and the one under Marcus Hill looked a bit like Gay something and the other looked like Paritz (a very exuberant y), so I didn't even see that they were all the one word. I just needed someone who'd be able to look at it and go, "oh, that's such-and-such", which is what you've done. So thank you very much for your help. I have looked at the indexes on your site, so I know you've got Foulds records un
