Of course if the SLV hadn't removed the Tetlow Index to Robert COLE's records from their website, I could have checked online for the owner/licensee of the Great Britain Hotel at Richmond in 1870.  It was a wonderful resource for anyone researching hotels in Melbourne.

Jessies Mum I suggest you contact the library and ask them for a lookup...that was their suggestion to me if I required further info from the Index.

Robert K Cole was a well-known identity in the brewing world of Victoria, joining Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) in 1906 and spending all of his working life at a Victorian plant. He was a member of the Historical Society of Victoria, taking particular interest in the history of the brewing industry and hotels in Victoria.

Hotel licensees changed rather frequently so it seems.

The Age (Melbourne, Vic. : 1854 - 1954) Thu 6 Mar 1873  Page 2 

The Richmond licensing bench sat yesterday.........
Sydney W. Jonnes, the Great Britain Hotel, Church-street; house out of repair, and application withdrawn.

May be Sydney Walter JONNES with a wife named Margaret RICHARDSON?

Perhaps Jessies Mum will soon oblige by letting us know whether or not the information provided in response to her query has been of interest.

Meantime, just to tie up the question of the Great Britain Hotel in RICHMOND.
I had been wondering why there was not one sighting in any paper of this establishment in the period 1865 to 1872 and so I have visited the extensive records of the Richmond  Historical Society.

From at least 1861, the place was known as The Quarryman's Arms Hotel.
 
Registered as occupiers, so may or may not be also the licensees-
1870, Mrs HOGAN
1871, Thomas MAXWELL
1872, Robert GYTON

In 1872, Abigail KELLY applied for the licence and also to change the name from  The Quarryman's Arms to The Great Britain Hotel.  This newly named place was licenced to Abigail KELLY 4th December 1872.

So it looks impossible that Elizabeth WHITE could have gone to be employed at The Great Britain Hotel in RICHMOND in 1870, when it did not exist.

I remain confused about the immigration records.
Is the one cited by Debra (Dundee) the same one as Jessies Mum is talking about?
Details seem different.

Just adding a question for Jessies Mum.

Re above reply.
Do any of those surnames  have any relevance to the family that you know of?
