Perplexed...
I have seen the postings requesting lookups on these directories and would
appreciate if I could have one done also.

I am looking for James Whiteford. I have a sort of a diary from his son who
was born in Richmond in 1854. He says his father was a builder. James, was
listed as journeyman mason on the 1851 Campbeltown Scotland Census, the year
before he migrated to Melbourne. The family was in Melbourne in 1852 and
James died in 1902.

I know the family moved to Gardiner's Creek, later Malvern. They had a
property on the corner of Wattle Tree and Glenferrie Sts.

I would be very appreciative of any assistance in regards to this.

Thanks all

Anne Whiteford

Fair enough. So I assisted.

So state your location.
