Hi Sue
Sorry - had interstate visitors all weekend - just got online now and found your posting.
About to go investigate.
Thank you so much for this.

Hi Sue
Pity they don't all have date of birth isn't it........... would be so much easier to identify, but this gives me something to go on.
Didn't know about this site - so thank you so much for that.
Will slowly but surely check all the Stanleys listed there and see who, or how many fit.

Hi Cougar,

Still looking for those Stanleys I see 

Did you ever find David? 

All the best

Hallo Di
No - still haven't found David.......... from 1840 until the present day I am fine - found tons and tons of g.uncles and g.aunts that our bit of the family knew nothing about - but as for his birth and where he went in those first few years - still a blank.
Coming over in June to go look for myself - any excuse for a holiday.......... so look out Coventry - will be searching the records there left, right and centre.
Cheers Cougar

Hi Cougar
I noticed you mentioned St Augustine's Orphanage....Just wonderinig if you know where it used to be because I know where it is as I have other family members that were there.
It was in Geelong, just like me

Hi
I eventually tracked down where the records were kept.
Managed to get details of one child, but the rest are still under the ** 100 year rule.
No - don't know where it was - will be in Pt Lonsdale next month, so if you can let me know - will go and have a look.
Woops - just re-read that - when you say, used to be - gather it is no longer there?  How did you get on trying to find info on your lot?
Thanks for that
Cougar

I haven't actually started looking into that yet, I only found out where the orphanage was from my Grandmother, I think she remembers where it was and I'll find out a street name off her and find out if it's still standing. I have a suspicion the building may still be there but being used for something else - will let you know asap.

Hi
If you send me a personal message with your email address I will send you the contact person for the orphanage.
It now comes under the Mary McKillop Foundation - took me ages to find that out.
Because of the 100 year rule you will need to be able to prove direct descendancy to get any information, but they will explain what is required.
Good luck, and thanks for finding out about where it was.
Await reply,
Cheers Cougar
