Henry Liddiard

Auburn is a residential area 8 km. east of Melbourne, situated in the Hawthorn area. It has a railway station with an adjacent shopping centre, near what was the main outgoing thoroughfare from Melbourne through Hawthorn at the time of Hawthorn's early settlement.
The area in which Auburn is situated was first called Red Gum Flat. It was well regarded as a source of good clay for brick and pottery products. The name "Auburn" may have come from either or both of two residences built in the 1850s. Auburn Lodge, built by Reverend Henry Liddiard, was on an allotment immediately south of Burwood Road and between Glenferrie and Auburn Roads. To the south of Liddiard's residence John Collings built Auburn House at today's 4 Goodall Street.

1. William Lilley

From on Saturday, 10 July, 2010

Hello Elizabeth,
Under the family of George McNish, you mention that the Lilleys came to Australia in 1852 aboard the "Priam", and you go on to list the children of Luke and Cordelia. All is OK, but you say that William married 1865 to Jane Hefferman. This is not the correct marriage.

The corrections are that William Thomas Cobley Lilley, born 1838 in Northampton, son of Luke and Cordelia. married at Avoca in 1863 to Mary McLeod (daughter of Donald and Catherine).
Their issue were:
1. John Charlton Lilley 1865 #4573
