Reference Books

"First Years at Port Phillip" by Robert Douglass Boys, BA pub 1959. He was formerly Chief Librarian of the Public Library of Victoria

Pioneer Owners of the Wimera, a pdf file of the book by Thomas Young, showing the pastoral leases and changes in ownership, from 1842 when Benjamin Boyd took up the first station, Ledcourt, an area of 200,000 acres, up to the year 1880, and quoting from Mr AS Kenyon's "The Story of the Mallee".

Violence and Crime in Nineteenth century England, The Shadow of our Refinement, by John Carter Wood, Published in 2004.


Soundex System

Back before computers, genealogists were familiar with the problems of 'near-miss spelling' and surnames that sound the same but are spelled differently. See Soundex for your surname, and read an explanation - the Basics shown clearly or Eastman's Notes show Basics and more details.
Ships

Caroline Agnes 1849 to Geelong,
Omega 1856
Marmion 1852 to Portland,
Gipsy Bride Feb and Dec 1855,
Asia 1856 to Adelaide,
These accounts of families in Victoria began with our own ancestors who arrived between 1855 and 1862. After the cousins asked me to 'do our side too', my files grew. My research on each family began because of a marriage to a family already studied, I now also include other holders of a surname, if there were only a few people involved.

When you write concerning a name in my site, I am interested provided the information is before 1920, avoids privacy of the living issues, and is no further back than the parents of the person who came to Victoria. Desired info includes
1. Full name, date and place of birth with names of parents, ship and date of arrival in Australia, how the person got to Victoria
2. For Spouse, Full name, date and place of birth with names of parents, arrival details
3. All the Children born before 1920, with birth dates, date and name of spouse, date of death, number of issue
Each child, provided they wed before 1920, begins another paragraph.
