1. [AUS-VIC-WESTERN-DISTRICT] Tatailla [1]
_____ Greetings listers, I have just re-subscribed to this mailing list after an absence of a few weeks. It's good to be back. This request may be a little outside the Western District area, but someone could know about it. I have a family wedding certificate for the marriage in 1884 of John Collins and Elizabeth Frewen. This marriage took place in Echuca. The place of residence for both bride and groom is given as Tatailla. I assumed this meant that Tatailla was a station property, or perha
2. Re: [AUS-VIC-WESTERN-DISTRICT] WOODFINE [1]
Hello Sandra, I think you'll find that William WOODFINE was born in London c.1828 - definitely not Ararat which didn't exist at that time. You still won't find a birth certificate because civil registration didn't commence until 1837 however you may be able to find a baptism. You would be far better off obtaining his marriage certificate which would give far more information about his parents than his baptism (or even an English birth certificate after 1837). Regards ........ Susie Z > William Wo

5. Re: [AUS-VIC-WESTERN-DISTRICT] Immigrant Ship Shand [1]
Hi Leigh >From the late Bev Rundell's notes on the 'Shand', which also carried James and John BENSON and their wives to Portland. "145 of the Immigrants boarded the 176 ton steamer 'Champion' and sailed from Portland on 29 January 1855 under the command of Captain Helpman bound for Port Fairy, arriving there on 29 January 1855." So they arrived in Portland and changed ship. (Source 'Portland Guardian', 'Arrivals and departures Victorian Ports' by Marten Syme. Cheers Beryl Beryl O'Gorman Greensborough Vi

Hello Listers, Is anyone able to tell me whether the immigrant ship 'Shand' docked at Port Fairy (Belfast) in January 1855? My 2xgreat parents Susan and William BARKER along with other members of their extended family were on board. I thought they disembarked at Portland but today received some information that they disembarked at Port Fairy. Regards Leigh

11. [AUS-VIC-WESTERN-DISTRICT] Richard Porter [1]
Richard Porter married Mary Jackson in Hamilton on 12th March 1874. His marriage certificate says he was 54 years old and a widower, with 5 children alive and 6 dead. In very small writing underneath is written (25th June 1852). Would this be the date of his first marriage? Many thanks Sandra Edwards

15. Re: [AUS-VIC-WESTERN-DISTRICT] WOODFINE [1]
Hello Sandra, You may be able to find a birth certificate - or more likely, you would find a copy of a transcription of the original certificate. The earliest certificates were in fact not birth certificates but certificates of baptism. The transcriptions of these certificates took place after 1850 when civil registration became a legal requirement. You may be lucky enough to find your William - otherwise, a marriage certificate may be your next option. Your best bet would be to check the website of the Vic

17. [AUS-VIC-WESTERN-DISTRICT] Babies born at the Cascades Female Factory [1]
In reply to Sandra Edwards query about births at the Cascades Female Factory being registered - I am at present reading a book by Tony Rayner called "female factory female convicts" which gives the history and the conditions in the female factories, including the Cascades. On page 120 it says that not long after the Cascades was established the names of the fathers were obtained because the Governor wanted them to pay maintenance for their baby. I haven't finished the book, but there is a large bibliograp

I have been a member of this group for less than a week and already I am overwhelmed at the generosity of spirit and kindness that has been shown to me. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has responded to my queries. I am now facing a bit of a challenge though. My mother was born in Hamilton in 1918 and placed in the Presbyterian Babies' Home in Melbourne when she was two, and then later adopted. She did not find out she was adopted until she was 70, so you can imagine what a shock that was. I obtain
