Ok then it's the papers if they could afford it at the time! Geelong Historical society are putting up the Geelong Advertiser sometime soon so they say, it is not on Trove..

Joseph Devlin was my great grandfather.  I was brought up in his house in Mercer Street Queenscliff.  He and Mary Anne his wife, built the home and lived there when they retired from their farm in Marcus Hill.  Eunice Devlin (my grandmother) was his daughter, married my grandfather Thomas Thwaites in 1908.  Joseph's only son, George Fraser Devlin was killed in World War 1 - wounded in Belgium and dying a year later in Sidcup.  He is buried in Brookwood Military Cemetery, Surrey, England.  I have his medals on my desk as I type.  He was the brother of my grandmother, Eunice.   Mary Anne Devlin (nee Whiffin) was the Post Mistress for Marcus Hill district.  I was the fourth generation to own the Mercer Street home, which was named "Marcus" after the area on the Bellarine Peninsula where the Devlin family farmed extensively.  I would love to hear from anyone interested in the family.  Joseph is buried in the Point Lonsdale Cemetery, with Mary Anne.  And several other Devlin family members.  Eunice Ida Sybil Thwaites (nee Devlin) is buried at Point Lonsdale Cemetery.  As are her children Clifford and my Mother, Edna Ward (nee Thwaites).  Lesley Thwaites (my uncle), is buried in Geelong General Cemetery whilst the youngest of the siblings is still living, almost 89 years of age - Jack Thwaites - he is in NSW. Other Devlins buried at Point Lonsdale are Amy and Frank.  George Henry and Lillith Edith.  Rose and Mary Ann.  Susan, Bertie and Richard. Thomas and Joan.   When I was small my late Dad used to take me to see the Devlin family at the farm at Marcus Hill - several aging unmarried brothers and sisters lived together in the old homestead and are buried together at Point Lonsdale.  I used to be passed about in great delight by all of them, when I was a small child - kissed and cuddled.  They were just lovely.  They had ancient motor vehicles that chugged up and down the Geelong Road (Bellarine Hwy now) leaving deep tracks in the bitumen, due to the fact they predated pneumatic tyres and were in fact iron wheels with iron rims and rubber around those!!   Memories!!!   The Devlin men were outstanding horsemen and my family has "blamed" this genetic link as causing my own deep love of horses.
