Midwives of Essendon and Flemington update 2019

I have updated the list of midwives who operated in Essendon, Ascot Vale, Moonee Ponds, Flemington and Kensington, from certificates sighted over a period of years.  The list will tell you the years and suburbs they worked in, and the names of the doctors they worked with. 

You can find the list of Midwives and also an updated list of Doctors on the Time Travellers website.

  1. Love this initiative Lenore.
    It's a great way to acknowledge the untold role of women in their community. You know I may have copied your idea. :)
