"A little waif named Louis George DEHON, aged 12, was brought up at the Magistrates Court before Mr. MacFarlane yesterday, charged with larceny of a hat which he had stolen from the State School building.   

The evidence of the police disclosed a sad case of neglect on the part of his only surviving parent.

.... the boy was committed to the Burnham Industrial School till he reaches the age of 15 years, where at least he will be removed from his past evil surroundings".  :

Hello  there All

what a fascintating tale.

The  ongoing inter-twinning  thought in  my head  is  did  any  of  these Girls  have  happy lives?  All  very sad  and yet exciting as  well.

I did  note  a  birth  registered  to  just Amelia Dehon  in  sydney no  father  named  Robert Dehon. 

Really  there  should be a  wonderfull  film  in this  all.

Annie  I know  we discussed  the  fact  that if William  Heasman  had suicided  way  back  then  he  wouldn't be registered  but  would  the  paper of  the day  carried  the "lurid tale"

Hi Jenn,
There could well be information in the newspapers about William Heasman but how to stumble across it?
There is no inquest and dare I say it but maybe his family were not telling the truth about him being dead.He could of just done a runner.

Maybe we should get the professionals in from Who Do You Think You Are?Now that would make a interesting program.
Still have to find Jane Elizabeth Aylmore Heasman Bransgrove Anderson and young Elizabeth Ann.Wonder what tales there will be there.

Annie
PS that birth to Amelia in 1901-thats the dau of Amelia Heasman Bradley Dehon

The address that Amelia Riding died at 16 Macintosh St, Mascot was the address of her daughter Amelia Harris.

it is  rather  pleasing to see a marriage in NSW  for a Louis Dehon in 1910 or 1911 seems he survived  his  three years in the Burnham Industrial School.

Hi Everyone

I have discovered that the daughter of Jane Wilkinson nee Heasman -Rachel Wilkinson is not the one we found dying in NSW in 1891.
The one who died in 1891 was a married woman and no relation.
This now means Rachel has disappeared.I can't find her in NSW and wonder if she stayed in Melbourne.
Can someone have a look at the Vic BDMs and see if there is a marriage or death for her?

Thanks
Annie

Hi Lucy

I am afraid I have to report I have had no luck finding any trace of Jane Aylmore Heasman Anderson.Nor can I find Elizabeth Ann after her birth in 1871.They seem to have vanished.If daughter Amelia's marriage cert is to be believed she (Jane) was deceased by 1897.
I contacted Rookwood Cemetery just on the off chance she was buried with daughter Jane Wilkinson but no luck.
However I have discovered Jane Wilkinson died at her daughter Frances' house in Guildford NSW.At the time of her death daughters Rachel and Frances were alive .
I have discovered Frances married Wm Thomas Mason in 1886.I found 3 children born but so far it appears only one survived a daughter Venus Patience Mason.
Venus married twice -1917 to John Baxter,then 1957 to Cecil Stanley Lee.She died c 1983.
Frances died 1957 and is in Rookwood with husband William who died 1937.
Still no sign of what became of the other daughter Rachel.
I still think its a bit odd Jane Wilkinson left everything to her daughter Florence Payne's son Cecil.

Will keep trying
Annie

Hi Annie

THANK YOU so very much for all this wonderful information, and for your ongoing dedication to the cause.   

Jane Aylmore Heasman ANDERSON and the young Elizabeth Ann .... mmm .... yes, they could have gone absolutely anywhere ?    I've looked at NZ cemetery records ... especially West Coast ... but to no avail.     Might be time to try NZ Death Index ?

Thanks again.

there is  this death entry  in  Victoria  that catches my eye

Charlotte Ann FRANCIS aged 86 at Auburn in 1948 reg no 1037
father Morton Wm Thos
mother Amelia HEASMAN


a  quick  look  reveals  that she was born  in Tasmanina to William Morton  and Amelia HESMAN trying to  find a  death for Amelia Morton.
