Hi Julie.
What a great connection in Chiltern. With such family history recorded, I've just booked my family for a weekend(never been there). Thank-you once again. Shall "talk" soon I hope
Regards Lee :D

Hi Julie. After doing my family tree and discovering Matthew Cyril Cock is the brother of my grandmother, Ethel Frances Healy Ferguson (nee Cock), I made a few extended phone calls. Unfortunately I come up with no records of his working career. His older sister Beryl Constance Speers(nee Cock) worked as a school teacher at Yackandandah buried at Kiewa Victoria, and an older brother john(Jack) Cock who moved to Port Adelaide with his wife.Maybe a search and a few phone calls may lead you closer(relatives may still live in area). I'm still unsure if he married. So apart from not having much info, my homework continues. Shall keep you updated if news arises. I'd appreciate any info you may have of Matthew. By the way, my  grandfather was a railway employee b/w Footscray and Williamstown most of  his life and on giving him a mantle clock with his name engraved 'H.S.Furguson' in 1947, they managed to spell FERGUSON incorrectly!! It could be another avenue to look into.
Regards Lee
