Comments on: Stawell at Pleasant Creek https://shawfactor.com Free people govern themselves together Mon, 22 Jan 2024 23:40:05 +0000 hourly 1 By: Anthony Clancy https://shawfactor.com/gazetteer/victoria/stawell-at-pleasant-creek/#comment-30207 Mon, 22 Jan 2024 23:40:05 +0000 https://shawfactor.com/?p=102597#comment-30207 Seems like the people of Stawell and Pleasant Creek are very interested in recording history. Great to see! This query may be a puzzle. My great grandmother, Catherine Sparks (who married a NSW man Edward Ashcroft) may have been born in Stawell or spent time there. Our family tree investigator cannot find her birth records in Victorian or NSW registries and all we know is that she was born “about 1867”. The only clue relating to Stawell is that a newspaper clipping recording her death in Sydney in 1933 stated that “several natives of Stawell travelled to Sydney for her funeral”.
Does anyone have knowledge of a Sparks family?
Regards,
Tony

Hi Leslie, have just come across your query. There were 2 Sawmills in Stawell/ Pleasant Creek, one owned by Smith and the other by Redden. Stawell Historical Society have detailed files on the mills and the families/ workers.
kind regards

Hi Lorna,
I have been researching Stawell records. Currently looking at Council Minutes. There are Tippins and Martins everywhere in the 1880’s. My great grandfather was a Councillor President.
