Mokoan

[Jumpinjackflash69]

Good Morning'
i am looking for the birth of a relative who was born i a place called Mokoan in Victoria and was wondering if there were any churches or records because i cant find her birth. I found her Death and have just purchased the certificate and it states she was 21 when she died and she was born in Mokoan. I cant find the birth but in saying that she had a sibling who's birth wasn't registered. I cant find any historical society, any help would be appreciated.

google maps will give you the location of the Makoan district, east of Melbourne.

You will then see the names of surrounding suburbs and areas where you might pursue your inquiries.

It is difficult for anyone here to assist without a name for your relative.

Offline resources frequently reveal information not always seen online.

What were Violet’s parents names?

I’ve found one buried in 1918 - but can’t see the death reg - with an Adelia Ann who died in 1920.

Delia Ann MURTHA married John Alfred HARRISON in Victoria in 1916.  (Amended am I mixing mother and daughter up??)

Olive May MURTHA born 1895

Violet May born 1897

((Violet May's birth registration surname couldn't be Harrison that is for sure, also perhaps not Murtha, as Olive May Murtha appers in the Vic BDM's))

Here is the birth registered in 1899 in Victoria.

Violet MENTHA, mother as Delia.  # 25024.

ADD,

Vic bdm online index allows wildcard search.  I searched for Violet with mother as delia from 1890 to 1900.
