    Notes:

    Alice Rose SUMNER (1881-1954) was committed to the Neglected Childrens System (No. 17810) on 24 Nov 1890 soon after the arrest of her father for coining (counterfeiting). She was fostered at several addresses in the Bendigo area and later at Ascot Vale, Williamstown, Brunswick, Moonee Ponds, Cape Clear and Highton.

    As was the custom, her term in that system expired on her eighteenth birthday (23 Aug 1899) presumably while she was still at Highton where she was in the care of a Mrs. COWAN. One can safely guess that this is where she first met her future husband Frederick Forbes HERD (1872-1944). On her record there is a note as follows: "girl is engaged to a young man named HERD, 29/4/01".

    Neglected Childrens' Registers
    Alice Rose SUMNER appears in 1881, Vol 11, p.177.

    INDI: [I890] Frederick Lionel WALTER

    Fred enlisted in the Australian Regular Army on 7 Jan 1960, firstly spending three years at the Army Apprentices' School in Balcombe VIC where he undertook training as a Radio Technician. On graduation (as App/Staff Sgt.) he joined RAEME (Royal Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) to complete his training as a Radar Technician. During the next six years he was posted to Moorebank NSW, Bandiana VIC, Woomera SA, Holsworthy NSW, Nui Dat South Vietnam (Australian Force Vietnam) and finally to Albert Park Barracks in Melbourne VIC. During that time he was promoted to the rank of Temporary Staff-Sergeant. Fred is often heard to say that he does not regret one minute of his time in the Army and his first love is still anything to do with radar.

    Short periods working at Laverton and back in Geelong followed his discharge, prior to joining the staff of the Gordon Institute of Technology as an Electronics Technician in the Physics Department. Over the following 33 years he working firstly for that institution and then Deakin University where he was a Senior Technician in the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences Workshop. His duties in the workshop include a considerable input into many research projects. A consequence of this is that Fred has co-authored several scientific papers particularly in the area of electronic instrumentation as applied to electro-chemistry. Retirement from the workforce came on 28 Nov 2003 when Fred was very graciously farewelled from Deakin University. Since retirement it is very difficult to see where work fitted into the scheme of things!

    On 22 Aug 1970 Fred married Ruth Elaine WARD at Ashby Methodist Church, Manifold Heights. Fred and Ruth have two children, Jennifer Lorraine who is married to Brad PHILP has three children from an earlier marriage - Lyndall, Claudia and Patrick. Son, Bradley Frederick completed a post-graduate diploma majoring in voice after completing a four year B. Mus under-graduate degree at the Conservatorium of Music at the University of Tasmania in Hobart. He currently is employed as a Manager Learning and Social Techniques at the Geelong Grammer School, Corio VIC.

    Fred was a foundation member of the Genealogical Society of Victoria, Geelong Group (now the Geelong Family History Group Inc.) and he has held the offices of president and secretary of that group. He is still very much an active researcher looking at many names and has with the help of his family transcribed the cemeteries at Steiglitz, Lorne, Birregurra and Sutherland's Creek. He has also jointly indexed and published the Admission Books of the Geelong Infirmary and Benevolent Asylum with Heather COX who coincidentally also has very strong connections with the Victorian town of Casterton. More recent projects have been the editing of the Pre-registration Burials from Christ Church, Geelong and the placing of the Admission Books mentioned above on the world wide web.

    Fred's great grandfather, Ambrose Willcock WALTER (1833-1915) is an abiding interest as is the early history of the Barrabool Shire where Ambrose was an early councillor.

    The highlight of Fred's family history search will be the day he manages to locate the death of Henry Thomas SUMNER (1857-?) a maternal great grandfather, last known leaving Pentridge Gaol on 22 July, 1892.

    Chronological Events in the life of Frederick Lionel WALTER (b. 1943)

    8 Jan 1969: Appointed as a electronics technician by Hawker de Havilland Australia to work as a civilian with the RAAF at the Laverton Transmitter Station. Without a doubt the most boring and uninteresting job I have ever experienced.

    Apr 1969: Cut my losses and took a job with a local electronics firm servicing domestic appliances. Not to be recommended to anybody!

    21 Apr 1970: Applied for and obtained a position as a Laboratory Technician with the Gordon Institute of Technology in Geelong. Technician in charge of the Physics Workshop until Apr 1977. With the exception of Woomera the most interesting time of my professional life.

    22 Aug 1970: Married Ruth WARD who is a Teacher/Librarian at a local Lutheran primary school. We have two children. Jenny, b. 1972, who is a housewife and Brad, b. 1974, who is a Manager Learning and Social Techniques and trained singer.

    1 Apr 1977: Gordon Institute of Technology and Geelong Teachers' College amalgamate to form Deakin University and I become Senior Technician in the Faculty of Science Workshop (now the Biological & Chemical Sciences Workshop). Responsibilities are mainly designing and building electronics equipment for research purposes in all parts of the faculty including Chemistry and Biological Sciences. We do a lot of work with PCs and build dedicated microcomputers, particularly for Electrochemistry.

    28 Nov 2003: Retirement from Deakin University.

    My other interests these days include a passion for history and particularly family history which afflicted me about 1978. I have been president and secretary of the Geelong Family History Group Inc.

The undertaker employed for her funeral was W.V. Raven, 227 Smith St., Fitzroy. She is buried at the Springvale Botanical Cemetery in an unmarked grave (Ref.
