The Catholic Church at Tarraville was located on the bank of the Tarra River. If you happen to find a map of Tarraville, as you come down Tannery Road into Tarraville and cross the bridge (at this point Tannery Road becomes Bridge Street), the Catholic Church was on the immediate left. Tyers Street is directly opposite. I'm thinking now that there is a plaque there on the side of the road, whether it's for the Church or not, I'm not sure.

Wurruk is about 5 minutes out of Sale on the road that heads to Rosedale (Princes Highway). Basically when you leave Sale and cross the Thompson River, you're in Wurruk. Just a heads up incase the guy at Wurruk is yours but you also come across anything to do with Sale - Wurruk and Sale addresses interchange so if you find someone popping back and forth between the two, it won't necessarily mean they have moved. <br /><br />Re Tarraville: the only Church left there now is the C of E (called Christ Church)- which also has the distinction of being the very first Church built in Gippsland. Not sure of the exact location of the Roman Catholic Church site, but it was called St Patrick's (which I'm guessing you prob know) and it was auctioned off in the early 1940's and the building removed.

My Kelly family were Roman Catholic. John Kelly and Mary Ann Francis married at the Roman Catholic Church in Tarraville in 1869. I wonder if that is still there. I haven't yet found any death registration for John Kelly jnr. The family were living in North Melbourne by 1888 as Mary Ann nee Francis died there in August and very sadly their daughter also died there in December of 1888. I will write about that next. I did find a John Kelly, Tanner and beamsman of Wurruk Wurruk declared insolvency in 1878 (Trove newspapers) but Wurruk would be a different area?Kerryn Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349603206224885854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550058367591255848.post-82882460807847843042012-11-16T22:07:18.000+11:002012-11-16T22:07:18.000+11:00Sorry, that Patrick that I said died 1934, should ...Sorry, that Patrick that I said died 1934, should actually say 1961.

Wasn't sure if you'd checked for burials in the Alberton Cemetery for the death of a Kelly child to see if anything showed for a potential child death in 1869. No headstones are showing on the headstone register so I checked the burial register for Alberton Cem and there are only 2 Kelly's showing. One is number 17 in the register and is for an Edwin Duncan Kelly, buried 21st April 1863, aged 11m and 15 days, late of Port Albert. He is buried in C of E, allotment 33, section 1 in a private grave.<br /><br />The other is number 164 in the register and simply has the name Kelly with no other name recorded. This person was buried on the 22nd April 1872, late of Melbourne. Buried in C of E, allotment 33, section 1. Can't quite make out if it's a public or private grave but it kinda looks like it's private.<br /><br />So maybe that 1869 baby survived? Pre 1861 or 1863 (the exact year escapes me right now) families were burying their own dead in the cemetery and no official records were kept. But by 1869 records were definitely being kept. I also remember speaking to an old resident many years ago who was told that headstones were supposedly somewhere near the Tarraville Church, close to the river but they disappeared well over 100 or more years ago. We could never find anything to back this up, only vague ancient recollections of people long passed by now. But it's something I've always kept in mind. I was also told that there were stories of midwives who took away stillborn babies and buried them in the garden at (possibly) Dr Hedley's house. Dr Hedley arrived in the area in the early 1850's. Pretty hard to trace infant deaths when things like that were happening. Good intentions I'm sure but makes it hard for the modern day genealogist!<br /><br />Anyway you probably have the Alberton Cem details but just in case! Also there are 4 Kelly's in the Yarram Cemetery - John James (d. 1934), Mary Ann (d.1947), Patrick (d. 1934) and another Patrick (d. 1956). Let me know if you don't have this info and would like further details.<br /><br />You know, I'm completely side-tracked from what I was even google searching over an hour ago. Hah, gotta love a good mystery. :) Maybe I should get an account so I don't have to keep posting as anonymous. lol<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550058367591255848.post-63526815483194751182012-11-06T12:36:40.972+11:002012-11-06T12:36:40.972+11:00Piece by piece, it all comes together, and it is S...Piece by piece, it all comes together, and it is SOOOOO exciting when it does.
