The following is an index to names as published in the
Warrnambool Examiner on the 11th Sept 1860.Lists such
as these are useful in narrowing down a time frame for an
ancestor if usual avenues are not helpful.Also it adds to the
nature of an ancestor's history. At first glance this seems an
inocuous list of names, but in fact the list reveals
that the collector, Mr McKiernan, was a thoughtful man, and
he targeted the publicans and major landholders/leaseholders
to the east of the township of Warrnambool, but specifically on the
Farnham Survey, and around Yangery and district. It can often be found that when a
collection is going on, newspapers will publish over several editions,
lists of the names of donations obtained by several collectors.
Subscription lists were taken up for a variety of reasons..eg church
buildings, charitable causes such as for a widow left with children
and no means of support etc...hospitals, asylums, schools,etc, and
newspapers are littered with these lists which can assist in researching
your family history.
