Sorry about the last two attempts. My original message wouldn't post, so I did an experimental one and of course it posted twice!
My Irish family arrived in Australia in 1864, and lived in 4 or 5 places in NSW and Vic. They had photos done in Warrnambool in the 1860's. I always assumed they had them done en route to Horsham, where they lived for a time, but lately I have wondered whether they might have lived there also. I don't know anaything about the history of Warrnambool, and I would appreciate it if anyone researching there could advise me how to go about finding out whether they lived there. Thanks to anyone who can help. I live in NZ, but our libraries do keep some Aust records.
