General Notes:
SOUR Pioneer index. 1870/19884 Also copy of birth registration Birth Reg No. 19884 Born at Yarpturk in the District of Tower Hill in the Colony of Victoria. The informant to the registrar was George Tickner, her father. Witnesses were : Accoucheur - Thomas Scott, and the nurse who certified the birth was Mrs. Cole. Elizabeth was registered on 31 August 1870 at Koroit, the Deputy Registrar was a Christopher Norman. Ref: Tickner booklet by Reg and Val Latimer. Elizabeth tried to establish her identity regarding money tied up in England, from papers her mother Harriet had left her, she was unable to because her grandfather John had not added his second name "Finlay" the documents, therefore she couldn't prove that she was a descendant of the John Finlay Basedon who had money/land tied up with the Crown. The documents were kept hidden in a walking cane. The cane had been given to Elna Johnston by Elizabeth, and borrowed by Florence prior to her death, the cane could not be found at the time of her demise. Perhaps it will surface somewhere one day, let's hope that who ever has it realises the family value of the cane.The documents were handed to a member of the family to do with as they might. It is unknown whether anything ever came of the documents, and where they are now. Information from Elna Langford Sidebottom. Since then new information regarding the documents and inheritance has come to light, thanks to Mary Hoppen, grand daughter of Esther Tickner. This of course has yet to be authenticated, but to date sounds plausible.
Elizabeth married Thomas Johnston on 4 Apr 1888 in Hawthorn Vic.1 (Thomas Johnston was born on 15 Feb 1856 in Latrobe, Tasmania,1 died on 27 Nov 1941 1 and was buried in Hearnes Oak..)
