I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have any information on
Benjamin & Bridget Atkins who lived in Portland in the 1840s.
The following is the only early history we have on Bridget -
George Marshall of London organised a shipload of "bounty" immigrants to
supplement the labour needs of the Port Phillip, Bridget Condrick/Conrick at
16 yrs of age arrived on the William Metcalf in Port Phillip on 15
November, 1839. She was assigned to a Captain Charles Scott of the Royal

Hi Folks
I've received the following note from Anne Grant. Thanks Anne.
Hi Beryl. The plaque at the Maritime Centre for the Severn was for the
later trip when Guthridge brought out a race horse for Richard
Lewis..... Not the trip when she brought immigrants

Hello Dennis,
The 35 would be #35 (pounds) per annum. So they would get the full amount if
they worked for a year, half that if they worked only 6 months. Sometimes
the pay is "with rations" where the employer supplies food.

Hi Bonnie,
Victorian birth certificates often list other children of the family.
You could probably sort this problem by just buying one birth
certificate - for the youngest child. This should then list all that
child's older siblings, assuming the informant at the registration
remembered all the names and the clerk wrote them down correctly.

Serpentine) and Nareeb Nareeb (SW Victoria somewhere). I have ancestors who
managed these stations in the 19th century.

Hi Daryl
the Limestone Ridge that David Power is supposed to have licensed was 16,000 acres "West of Dartmoor" - so that sounds like the one labelled "Limestone Creek"on the left of your map: past_sth.htm am I right to elide those two terms?
is Penola on that same map? (I can read Dartmoor, but can't see anything that might read Penola)

Hi Dennis
My great grandmother, Mary Ann Cassidy, from Co Leitrim, was on that same
ship. There's a memorial stone at Portland for the landing of that
particular ship, just near the new Maritime Centre. Anne Grant might be able
to tell us the story behind it. I think it was put there by the descendants
of one passenger/family.

Hi Dale,
Usually the Naringal Cudgee area. The Naringal School established in 1877
was originally called the Tallangatta State School but this was changed
because of the confusion with the Tallangatta in NE Victoria. The parish of
Tallangatta is bounded on the east by the Hopkins River, on the south by the
Allansford-Cobden Road (Allansford township was split between Tallangatta
and Mepunga parishes), on the east by Rollos Road and on the north by the
Mount Emu Creek.What families are you looking at?

Hi everybody.
I am chasing photographs of Portland Hospital and surrounds around the 1970
period as my grandparents lived next door on Bentinck St but have found
photos hard to find. After my grandparents passed away, the house was
purchased and demolished by the hospital as it extended along Bentinck St.
Please advise any suggestions, thoughts or if more info required.
Thanks in advance

Hi Yvonne,
I looked at Ian Marr's cemetery index as Allan mentioned and found at
Casterton Cemetery:- James Hill born C1830 died 1/4/1915 aged 85 years
father of Mary and Clarence.
Also Jane Hill born C1848 died 19/2/1922 mother of Mary and Clarence.
I looked up the deaths for them and found:- Jane Hill mother Harriet Wright
father ? Hook
James Hill parents unknown.
Vic BDM
Mary Jane Hill died aged 37 in 1908 at Casterton. Parents James Hill and
Jane Hook
Hope this helps,

Dear Lex
how exciting!! it could well be - at first I thought David only ran Three Wandos in 1855 - 1852, later known as Wando Dale, but although it seems he squatted there originally with his brother Thomas the surgeon (who ran his little "hospital" - I dread to think how primitive it must have been) there too - I have subsequently discovered his footprint all over the place. Seems he squatted on many spots but actually purchased Mt Gambier Station 1852 (later renamed Moorak) - 1859. Other places I have

Good morning,
I am assisting a non-gene neighbour put his mother's family together for
her, but have come up with a bit of a problem.
We have a James Joseph Hill - who was born in Casterton in 1858, the son of
James & Mary Jane Hook (death cert). He married Mary Jane Craig in Adelaide
1881.
Problems:
1. The birth Indexes say that the mother's name was 'Mary Ann', not 'Mary
Jane'.
2. Looking at the Indexes, there seems to be more than one Hill family in
that area with the father being a 'James Hill' & t
I am almost sure that TALL is an abbreviation for the Parish of Tallangata,
