This
Act was passed in
In
1894 the Department of Neglected Children arranged for ‘Lady Visitors’ to
inspect the nurses’ homes and children.
Some correspondence regarding this has also been included in this web
page.
The
police department took over the entire maintenance of the Act in 1898, but
surviving indexes and registers to the correspondence are only extant from
1901. I have indexed all names appearing in the police correspondence indexes
and registers from 1901 to February 1908, when police handed control of the Act
to the Neglected Children’s Department, and these microfiche indexes are
available for sale via the Harriland Press web site. While working through
the correspondence files themselves for other purposes, I have come across
Infant Life Protection Act material for the period 1898-1900, and reproduce the
basic details here. This is by no means a complete listing of the pre-1901
material, merely those files I have come across in the unindexed material. Some material (only a fraction of what is
available) from a later period has also been added.
As
well as correspondence about various women and children, there are monthly
reports from local police about the nurses and their children in the area,
scattered throughout the correspondence. These monthly reports list the name
and address of each nurse, the name of each child they have in their care, the
mother or next of kin of each child, the state of the child's clothing and feeding
bottles etc. They also have a column 'Remarks' where additional information is
sometimes recorded. Note that these entries are usually of one line only. I have included in the listing below some of
the details taken from just a few of these monthly reports, those of March
1898, January, April, May, June 1899, February and May 1900, 1901, and January
1904, for part of the Melbourne District only.
If the people you are
seeking are not listed here, (and these are only a small percentage) consider
looking at the various Infant Life Protection Act indexes I have created for
the period 1901-1908, details of which are on the Harriland Press web page.
Anyone wanting photocopies of the files or the full detail of the one or
two line entry in the monthly reports are welcome to email me their request,
(hdh1atozemail.com.au - remove the 'at' and add the usual @) but there is a $35
fee, as well as the Public Record Office charge of 65c per page photocopying
and postage.
