Hi, I was hoping someone may have cd or free access to Victorian BDM site or possibly census. I am trying to find details on Rosanna Priscilla Ling, born 1877, Moama, Victoria to Jonathan Ling and Fanny Stokes. One of 10 children. Family moved slowly up the coast settling in Bowral, NSW for a while, where most of the children were raised. Rosanna just drops of the map from there. I have searched as much as I can in NSW and was thinking that maybe she went back to Victoria. Her father death certificate shows her at age 31 when he died in 1908 (in Wollongong).
If someone could possibly find marriage details, or death date or anything at all, it would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Kelly :)

Hi Jenn,
Thanks heaps for this. I had seen the marriage for Rose A S Ling, but had dismissed it because it didnt seem close enough to be her. I never thought to check for the death under the married name.
Also, I didnt have the death date of Florence. I had the marriage to Brooks, but nothing else. Would I be correct in assuming Pres means Prestons, Victoria?
Thank you so much for your help. I had been chasing my tail on this lot for a while.
Regards
Kelly
