I was wondering if anyone who is visiting the Public Record Office would be kind enough to consult the microfilm copies of the Teacher Record Books for Ellen Cochrane, Teacher Record Number 12301 who was appointed to Bruthen in 1909, see
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/91883980?searchTerm=%22cochrane%22&searchLimits=l-state=Victoria
Her date of birth and place of birth if possible would be useful also appointments before/after Bruthen. Trying to eliminate her from another Cochrane family in Bruthen - all the names show up together on the 1909 Census record.
Many thanks in advance if someone has the time and energy to pursue this.

This doesn't answer your question but may be helpful to build on:
In 1909 Ellen is enrolled to vote and has no second forename listed.
1914 at Bailey St, Clunes
Ellen COCHRANE, school teacher
1919 at 18 Lyons St south, Ballarat
Ellen COCHRANE, S S teacher (S S probably = State School)
1931 at 7 Park St, Ivanhoe
Ellen COCHRANE, school teacher
1942 at 409 Burwood Rd, Hawthorn
Ellen COCHRANE, home duties
1949 at 44 Mathoura Rd, South Yarra
Ellen COCHRANE, home duties
1958 at 37 Illawarra St, Williamstown
Ellen COCHRANE, home duties
1963 at 26 Dudley St, Eltham
Ellen COCHRANE, nil occupation
1963, 1968, 1972 at 8 a'Beckett St, Kew
Ellen COCHRANE, home duties
I do not see her after that - my access goes to 1980. There are no others of the same surname at any of her addresses after 1909. The other women listed all have a second forename.
Given that she seems to be a spinster, living in Kew, with no further electoral roll entries after 1972 perhaps this is her death
Victoria, 1973, # 19782
DEATH PLACE: Kew, Victoria
Ellen COCHRANE, 99
Father: David; Mother: Ann Carmichael
Please Note - this would need to be verified, speculation only!

Just deleted my long post :)
Only adding...
PROV Teacher Index is not functioning at the moment. No results even for my mother!
This is possibly brother and sister....

Wills Index at PROV now functioning. I have been receiving a notice that it was a server problem. I was hoping her occupation would have been retired school teacher ;)
COCHRANE Ellen Spinster Kew 14 Aug 1973
760/074 VPRS 28/P6, unit 464;
VPRS 7591/P4, unit 373
The teacher record will need to be ordered prior to anyone visiting PROV reading rooms to view.

Thanks one and all. Ellen LOOKS to be a red herring but it would be confirmed by having her date of birth from the teacher records. If no one is going that way, I might get there in October when we dash through Melbourne en route to Ballarat.
