The other side has hit a brick wall and I have to wait until someone else in the world may have more information.
How is everyone else going?
punch extremely interesting read, thankyou so much for posting that. I drove past there today on my way to Parkville cemetery and then on to Coburg cemetery. My husband's grandfather was an Italian market gardener having a fruit shop in Port Melbourne I am unsure whether before the shop he sold at the Victorian market. What could you possibly do if you realised you had ancestors under the Viccy market? You would never know exactly where they might be ๐
Sadly no headstones were to be found for my people today however Parkville was lovely and the children had the best headstone ever being this tree.
Coburg cemetery was depressing, awful ....... awful, yuk ๐
Maybe my ancestors were bought to the cemetery in something like this?
Just searching ancestry tonight and I reaslise I missed a grave at Coburg 
My husband will shoot me in the foot if I ask him to take me back there again
Yeah yeah I know I can take myself ..
They had Open House in Melbourne today. Put my name in the Ballot to look through the ballroom above Flinders St Station along with several other buildings. Wasnt lucky enough to be picked as one of the 10 for Flinders St, but we did get picked to look tour Newman College which was built in the early 1900's by Walter Burley griffin. Very interesting building.
Wish I'd had a better look at everything that was open though, they were doing tours of Melbourne General Cemetery all weekend too. Didnt know about that until I parked opposite and hubby wasnt keen on going through there, it was getting a bit late by the time we finished at the other place.
Oh well, will have to do it another time.
