Biography

Born Tuesday Oct 21 1975 in Melbourne Royal Women's Hospital in Carlton, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. My mother Maree Dorothy Joy Astill (DOB: 28 Sep 1957 Ouyen Australia ) and father Stephen McGill (6 Dec 1956 Welwyn England) were living in St. Albans, Victoria at the time. At the age of 1 1/2 my parents separated and in October 1983 my mother and her new partner Paul Hewitt moved to Corowa, New South Wales. A little town along the Murray river along the border of NSW & Victoria.

On 27th September 1984 my half-sibling Jasminka Kate Hewitt was born at Corowa Hospital. Paul died 1991 and Maree moved to Melbourne 1995.

I moved to Melbourne 1995 and then to Cairns, Queensland in 1997. In 1998 I met Scott Patrick Maitland (14 Dec 1976 Gordonvale Australia) and on 18th May 1999 I gave birth to a daughter, Rhyane Carly Maitland at Cairns Base Hospital.

Hi Donna,

I noticed that you used the Challenge Tracker to track a change during last month's Sourcerers' Challenge. Please consider officially joining us for the Sourcerers' Challenge. You can find information, including how to join, on the Sourcerers Project page.

No pressure, every profile with a source makes our WikiTree better. Your work will continue to be included on the Tracking Sheet even if you do not register.

Your work is appreciated. Thanks for sourcing!

Hi Donna, my grandparents are from Ballarat and Beaufort, I am calling my Dad tonight to find out as much as I can about my great-grandparents as I really do know nothing at this stage - I have just started looking into this as of yesterday! If I find any connections in Tasmania, I will be sure to let you know :)
