My great grandmother was married in Mitiamo in 1888, and given that
other subscribers also had a connection, I thought I would have a quick
look at some 'rough' statistics.

From 1875-1888:
Births 306
Deaths 45

From 1889-1901
Births 236
Deaths 80

So obviously it was a booming place with that many kids born in a 26
year period. Would have filled the local school!

Looking at more modern times and the population of Mitiamo, the
population has remained steady at about 100 people

>Hello John - Thank you for your kind offer re your pending visit to Mitiamo. Unfortunately I think the only family connection with the town is that grandfather Hussey had the good grace to die there. (Assuming that he died in hospital, I would be interested to know if there is still a hospital there). I don;t think there is any family history to be uneartthed there. Enjoy your visit - Best regards Pat
