Thankyou everyone for your replys, I found Frank and Margarets names mentioned in the Victorian Prison index.Margaret was a daughter of Catherine and Thomas Brown from Castlemaine Taradale area but I had not had much luck in finding much about them.
Margaret was a sister of my gggrandmother Brown family hard to trace!!Thomas I think was a policman in Castlemaine but once again its finding him.
thanks everyone
