I am amazed at your generosity of time, resources, patience, encouragement and enthusiasm for families that aren't yours......thank you. You have restored my faith in random acts of kindness......something I practice but haven't seen much of lately.

I have entered the information about Mary Victoria......many thanks Genni and Jenn.

i don't have Ellen and John Thomas Hutton's marriage certificate, but it is listed in the Tasmanian Index and she is listed as the mother of his four children. The last child Frederick James Hutton was born in 1898 and g-grandfather remarried as a widower in 1912. Can't seem to find anything on Frederick either.

 The family legend is that she left him.......my grandfather spent a lot of time with the catholic nuns whilst she was alive (I believe he lived with them for a while).....which is why my mother's name is Rosary....a comment worthy name for a C of E.!

I did a Google search but I am uncertain if BillyBong Station relates to BillyBong Plains.......I'll make some enquiries with the local libraries.

On another family......I have records that my great aunt recorded before she died listing her mother's birth.....she has the date and place, but when i looked in the Queensland BDM's she isn't listed. She apparently was born at Palmer River, Qld during the Gold Rush up there. Would births from there not have been officially recorded?

Dear Jenn,
Many thanks.....I am trying to verify my great aunt's records.
Her name is Annie Flora McAuley and she (according to g-aunt) was born on 24/11/1879  at Palmer River QLD.
I also checked the NSW records and she isn't listed there.

Beat me too it Rayleen   Well Done

no  doubt  the  birth  being so  late  in  the year  it was not officially  registered until  the new year.

deleted by  Jenn as  she did not read  what  she  had written.

Many thanks Raylene,

It now seems that her mother's maiden name has been spelt in a variety of interesting ways....from Anschaw, to Anschau to Austan now.

Not often I get to beat you Jenn  

Date of birth and year of registration both 1879...... seems
just the spelling of the surname is different.
