A number of members spoke on various topics and the day was quite successful, some members have used information gained to further their research. It is hoped to have further days later in the year. You may be interested to know that the Death Notices taken from the W'bool Standard, Jan 1982 - Dec 1992 have been published on microfiche. This index covers about 7,500 deaths. Copies of notices are available from August 1982 onwards for a small charge. There are 6 microfiche in the set which can be purchased for $15.00 by writing to PO Box 607, Warrnambool. Last month I mentioned the removal of the Purnim Cemetery and that the Woodford Cemetery had never opened. I have no further information on the Woodford Cemetery but Doug has located the site of the Purnim Cemetery on an old Parish Map. The recreation reserve in Bryan O'Lynn Road, behind the Presbyterian Church was originally the Purnim Cemetery. Till the next time good luck with your researching Regards to all Marie Boyce Area Administrator ************************************* REGISTRATION OF ALIENS DURING WORLD WAR 1 (As published in the 'Warrnambool Standard') The Federal Government has secured authority under the War Precautions Act to take steps to keep a vigilant watch on all aliens in the Commonwealth and those entering at the various ports. Regulations issued on Friday relating to the registration of aliens on and after 31st October next apply to alien friends, as well as alien enemies, over 15 years of age. Police officers in charge of police stations are to be the alien registration officials. Other members of the police force. officers of the customs, naval and military authorities, and authorised persons, are to be officers under the regulations for general purposes. Provision is made under which aliens may be exempted by the Minister from the regulations. The exemptions include consuls and their staffs, masters and crews of public vessels of any Government. Children of alien residents not being natural born British subjects must be registered in the same way as aliens. Masters and crews of vessels, if aliens, must register at the first point of call in the Commonwealth. Every alien. whether registered or not, who changes his place of abode must, within seven days, notify the fact to an alien registration officer.

  • Parish and Township Plan Numbers
    Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017
