North of Mickleham Rd opposite the Old Sydney Road and Donnybrook Road corner is the impressive gated entrance to Marnong whose name, I would guess is a contraction of Maribyrnong because of its proximity to Deep Creek which with Jacksons Creek (called the Macedon River in early maps) combine as the Maribyrnong River at Melway 4 B5. Some residents referred to Deep Creek as the Maribyrnong River.

Many fine old mansions only survived because they were purchased by the Catholic Church and recently others, such as Mount Ridley and Marnong have been given a new lease of life by people who appreciate their history, the former becoming part of a school site and the latter featuring the recently completed BANK VALE RUN RESTAURANT.

Family Tree Circles member Bezza whom I've known for about three decades will be visiting the restaurant soon and emailed a request to me:
Rigg property at Rocky Water Holes

Hi --- do you have any info on this property please. 1841 census has it called Bankvale.

I guessed that this had something to do with Mr Rigg for whom Bezza's ancestor, David Patullo, was working when he found gold.

AS THERE ARE SO MANY LINKS TO ARTICLES/ MAPS etc. IN MY REPLY, I SEEK YOUR PARDON FOR NOT USING THE FORMAT FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO ACCESS THEM WITH A SIMPLE CLICK. HOWEVER HIGHLIGHTING A LINK, COPYING IT (RIGHT CLICK)AND PASTING IT INTO YOUR SEARCH BAR WILL ONLY TAKE A FEW SECONDS.

Beryl,
Hopefully, the following will be of help. Section 2 Darraweit Guim was definitely Bank Vale and section 30 Mickleham which adjoined its southern boundary was probably part of the Bank Vale Estate too. John Rigg probably sold about half of the former to discharge his insolvency and finance his gold mining operations but obviously did his dough as the Bank Vale Mining Company,and the adjoining Bolinda Company's operations, folded in 1860.
Regards, Ray.

This would seem to be the death record of John Rigg's widow but she must have been much younger than John. She would have only been about 37 years old when John died, aged 54 in 1863.
