  • Old photos of homes

    From Pat Wade@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 21 17:10:19 2017
    Hi all,

    I am trying to work out who the people in a photo are. My best hope is to first work out the house and therefore an address.

    The photo is c. 1900s (give or take a little) and I am wondering if it could possibly be 1 Peel St Ballarat - I know a family of Thomas's were there in
    1891 and the next address I have for this family is 127 Napier St, Fitzroy
    but this is 1919.

    Is there any chance of a photo of either address on any site - any clues of where to go to look?

    Thank you
    Pat

    Hi Pat,

    What age is the house? It could be part of a Heritage Overlay in Ballarat - worth looking on the Council web site - I think they have their Heritage Studies online.

    The Ballarat & District Historical Society and the Ballarat & District Family History Group are also good options.

    Thank you Susie and Judy.

    Having a little trouble with Google earth - but have established that 1 Peel St N, Ballarat is now a business. That is ofcourse if the street numbering hasn't changed.

    Had a look at Ballarat Heritage Database - which has "modern" pictures of some of these houses and some in Peel St, are very similar to what I am looking for. So at least I know it is possible that the family in the picture is Eliza Thomas and some of
    her children.

    Thank you
    Pat

    Hi Pat,
    1 Peel St. North Ballarat
    The north numbers are from Sturt Street.
    Peel St. is in the Mall area.
