My favourite place to research would have to be what is now known as Moonee Valley which comprises the North-Western suburbs of Melbourne listed below.
Thanks to assistance from my dad's cousin and his wife Ray and Margaret GOODWIN, Lenore FROST and the Essendon Historical Society I have had many fruitful hours of research.
My paternal ancestors lived for many years in the suburbs highlighted.
Some of the other suburbs did not exist back then.

- Airport West
- Ascot Vale my great grandmother Mary ADAMS nee MORGAN lived here during WW1
- Avondale Heights
- Essendon
- Essendon North
- Essendon West
