Adam Gibson is in my line. He was born in Tweedmouth@ 1813 and married Frances Craven. Unfortunately all the records for Tweedmouth were destroyed in a fire! They left for Australia about 1854 and settled in Heathcote where 3 children were born. I have letters written by Frances to her sister in law in England. I would love to have info. on the living relatives in Australia.
I am trying to sort out Frances Craven born@ 1821 in Alnwick and her parents John Craven and Elizabeth Lindores. There seem to be 2 different families. Frances' brother Thomas Craven went out to Australia and also settled very successfully! in Heathcote. Hoping you can help.

Hi.

Victorian Government Gazette
Crown Lands and Survey Office, Melbourne 18th April 1859.
TITLE DEEDS
Basically the deeds could be picked up after paying the appropriate fees at the Melbourne Receipt and Pay Office.
Many names were listed for Title Deeds including
Gibson, Adam, 1r at Heathcote.


Actually he was listed twice for the same size block of land, (1r) which probably indicates to different deeds.

This is the only death registration I can find.  Death at Melbourne East may have been in either a hospital of the Benevolent Asylum.  There is often scant information on death certificates for those who died in public institutions.
