Thanks for your generous offer of help. I have ancestors who arrived in Melbourne from Ireland in 1864. They were Patrick and Teresa Seaver and their teenage aughters Mary and Teresa. By 1869 they were living in Horsham, and then moved onto Bombala in southern NSW by 1871, where they stayed for 18 years. But they had photos done at a photographers' studio in Warrnambool sometime in the 1860's. Because I don't know their movements during these years, I thought perhaps they may have lived in Warrnambool. So any evidence of this that you can find would be appreciated. I guess that means electoral rolls, school rolls, etc. The daughters taught school later on, so they may have done that there. Patrick gave his occupation as "gentleman", so I don't know if he worked there or not. Daughter Mary married Charles Pearson later on, and Teresa jr. married Henry Walters, alias (yes alias!) George Lawrence, so they may have been there too. I will be grateful for anything you can come up with. Thanks so much!
