Good morning,
I am a Perth based genealogist and have hit one of the many genealogical “brick walls” and am hoping you can direct this query to someone in your society who may be able to assist.
I am seeking information about a property called "Liswillow" in Barkly Street, St Kilda?
My interest in this property is that my 2nd great grand uncle- one Thomas Blackburn, died at "Liswillow" aged 63 years on 12 Jan 1881.
In the late 1800's The Trove newspapers, several people seem to show up as having been either born and or having died there so I wonder if it might have been a small private hospital or perhaps a boarding house.
The only information I have about “Liswillow” is that the property was advertised in the newspapers for auction on 19 Feb 1872 when it was described as a 7 room cottage but there was no street number just said it was "near the Junction" and seemed to be a house with a pleasant description and quality furniture.
Yours faithfully,
John L Blackburn
