  John, This entry is correct. Andrew William Harkness, born 1863. He was G/pa's cousin who lived in Roslyn Rd Geelong. Couldn't find it before as he was registered under Connewarre. (Mt Duneed was formerly known as Mt Direction). I have alot of papers and Photos from Andrew - his G/son Peter gave them to me at the dog club last night. Most of the photos appear to be of his wife's family - but I guess he is in there somewhere. The original school at Mt Duneed was built on the other side of the road and became the church and burnt down. the bluestone school was the 3rd school and built by Andrew's father and grand father I think - the notes are a bit confusing.
