Hi, I live in the uk and at the present moment I am researching a relative who was killed in action in France in Aug 1914, on his service record his father`s address is given as 85 McClellan Street, Melbourne. I am assuming that this is Melboune Australia as the relative in question lived in Glasgow, Scotland when he enlisted and I cannnot find a Melbourne in Scotland.
Does anyone know of this street in Melbourne.
Thanks

As far as I can tell the street does not exist.
[url="http://services.land.vic.gov.au/vicnames/historicalInformation.html"]http://services.land.vic.gov.au/vicnames/h...nformation.html[/url]
Perhaps it is a mispelling. There are some similar sounding roads
e.g.
mcclelland
mclelland
mclellan
mclennans
Though I did find some references to "Mcclellan Street". on google. Hang on I will check something else, cheers, glen

here was the address i mentioned that i found on google. Could be very old
Self Adhesive Markings (Aust) Pty Ltd 3 McClellan St, Bayswater VIC 3153
Actually seems like it is just a mispelling of "McLellan" so its not of any help

Glen,
Thanks for the info, is Bayswater part of Melbourne and are there any online family history tracing sites where I might find a voting register for this street in 1912.
Thanks again
Harry

Bayswater is one of the many Melbourne suburbs.
For voting info you could try here:

I think the voting registers can be searched but give them a call to see exactly how that would works.
Cheers, Glen

Perhaps the city you are looking for is Melbourne, Florida?
It is actually a fairly large city.
