ROBERT ANDERSON OF "BARRAGUNDA", CAPE SCHANCK, VIC, AUST., HIS TWO MARRIAGES AND MOST OF HIS CHILDREN.

Journal by itellya

THE MANY LINKS GIVEN WILL HAVE TO BE COPIED AND PASTED INTO YOUR SEARCH BAR.

The Cape Schanck run was cut in three;
The western part being called Burrabong
After the creek in Fingal flowing south
Into Bushrangers Bay, just west of Main Creek's mouth.
Robert Anderson had managed the run for Barker
Where the waves broke with a noise like thunder
On the cliffs along the cape.
Such humble employment he's soon escape
And build Barragunda
Overlooking Bass Strait water,
Having married his new boss's daughter.

A BIT OF ANDERSON GENEALOGY.
I remember an article about a son of Robert Anderson enlisting straight from Geelong Grammar /College but I can't find it.
Godfrey, son of Robert and Edith Mary, nee Howitt was born on 24-1-1869 at 198 Collins street east* but the birth was obviously registered at South Melbourne.
*https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/5819211
His full name was Godfrey Howitt Anderson and he married Margaret Maude Howitt (youngest daughter of Alfred W.
Howitt, Heanor, East Malvern) on 15-11-1898 but died aged only 33 on 18-5-1902 at "Eastwood", Bairnsdale.

(Edith, their first daughter was born in 1867, Dromana given as the place of birth. On 20-3-1897 she married Stephen P. Thompson , lawyer of Beechworth).

A "Robert Anderson, Cape Schanck" trove search had failed to find his death notice in 1923 because Cape was digitised as {ape (now corrected), but the death notice of a daughter of the second marriage was found.

I'm very interested in Robert Anderson and John Barker who owned and ran property in Bangunara Cape Schanck in the 1840-1860's. John Barker sponsored my 2xgr grandparents, James & Mary WILKINS and their family, to emigrate from Somerset, England in 1857 as they were agricultural labourers. Their daughter, Elizabeth Wilkins was 16 at the time and also sponsored, but probably as a domestic. Any advice you could help me with on where to find such information and stories would be most appreciated.
Many years ago I was in contact with you as my parents owned property at Red Hill, and as a result we went to the Red Hill Reunion. My paternal family - Rees/Sheehan were also involved in this area over many years.
Any help you could suggest would be most appreciated.
Best regards and thanks
Rae Alexander (Hunt)
