> Can anyone please suggest how I should go about trying to find out the
origins and ownership of the building at No 8 Collins Street occupied by Sir
Henry Maudsley (from 1888 ?) and whether it is/was at the same location as
the property purchased in about 1879 by John Bellin from the estate of
George James deceased ?

HI Bryan,

You may get some idea by looking at the rate books. The ones I have looked
at follow the valuer around the blocks he did. This should give you your
family name in the rate books and an idea of which block it was in at the
time. I think the rate books for Melbourne are on fiche at a lot of
libraries.

Cheers
