thanks for that, you were so quick, are you related? This info fills in a big hole in my tree. I'm related to Daniel Gunn son of Alex. It's been difficult to find the rest. I have alex2 dying of broken neck aged 45 and thats about it.
Many thanks

There's quite a bit missing, but I'll look for it shortly......

My Daniel married Rosa Sanders 23.3.1898 in maryborough then came to western Aus. Which index are you looking through? Maybe they are from two different families? This family seem to use the same names throughout the
line -it gets so...confusing.
-
OK.....marriages are hard because you don't have parents' names. I'm searching in Victoria.
I'll try to find the birth of a Daniel Joseph GUNN in Victoria.
I can't see any children born to Mary Ann GUNN and Chas Abram Cumber CHIBNALL, or to Gina Elizth GUNN & Wm GAYLOR, but Ellen GUNN and Harry BALAAM had quite a few. I'll get them typed up for you.

There are two Daniel GUNNs born in CLUNE....your Daniel with parents Alexander and Ellen, and Daniel GUNN, son of Robert GUNN & Winniford PURCELL, born 1886.
Ref = 9143
Robert GUNN born Geelong and Winifred PURCELL married in 1882.
So I suspect the Daniel Joseph Gunn I found was their son.

There is a digitised Grant of Probate for Alexander GUNN, died intestate 25 April, 1905 at Dunolly, bullock-driver, place of residence: Orville, near Rheola (Victoria), The papers list his mother Ellen, brothers and sisters and a niece and nephew with their places of residence in 1905.
http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search_details.asp?searchid=54&id=89191
There is also a digitised will (dated 26 Jan 1895) of Alexander GUNN, died 28 Jan 1895, farmer of Carapugna, mentions wife, Ellen, children Joseph, Daniel, Georgina, Mary. Executors of the will are John William REDGEN and George ANDERSON both of Wycheproof. His signature is very shaky so I surmise he must have been ill when the will was made only 2 days before he died.

Wow Judith, thank you for the info, I had just about given up on finding anything like this. its wonderful, mum will be tickled pink when she sees what you have found.
Deeiluka has found so much for me as well - and now this - thank you both.
I have tried to click on the web sites you have given me but it comes back as server error. will try again later.
regards lyn :D
-
Lyn, I think the Wills site might not like the detailed address I gave you. Try the following but you'll then have to search for the actual wills.
http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=54
The website takes a long time to download once you are asking for the actual digitised image - patience is needed!!
Hope that works better for you ;D
