Hi Giselle
You might like to check the following entries in The St Mary's Geelong
baptism index against the Victorian Pioneer index:
Ellen HANLY bapt. about 1855 (p. 170 in St Mary's baptism register)
Hannia HANLY bapt. about 1856 (p. 199)
Honora HANSLEY bapt about 1855/56 (p185)

No Mc MASTER entries.

I can check the register for you when I'm next in our library if any of the
above are of interest.
Regards
Lorraine
