Name	Christina FRASER
Alt. Birth	1852
	The date of her birth in the Birthday Book of Douglas Coston is 24 Sep 1853. This is the same day as she emigrated to Australia with her parents, and was listed as aged 1 year. She said she was born in Inverness-shire, so it is possible the birthdate of 24 Sep 1853 should be 24 Sep 1852.

	Footscray Cemetery Presbyterian section, compartment C, grave number 879 Also buried in this grave are daughter Elizabeth Kleesh, son-in-law Andrew Kleesh and son Hugh McIntyre. To find grave: From main entrance, go straight ahead along Sullivan Ave, past McDonald Drive and Claydon Drive to the right. Look on right for corner graves of STORIE and SHORT. Turn right along that row and go to the other grave on left.
Notes	Christina McIntyre married three times. She ran pubs and was a good organiser. Once Ned Kelly came in to the pub and for a joke put his helmet on her - she was then famous. The licence for the Racecourse Hotel in Benalla (now gone) was transferred to Christina in 1879 on the death of her husband Duncan McIntyre who had acquired the licence in 1878. In 1883 in the Insolvency Court she said she had carried on the business for 2 years but business had fallen due to the decrease in traffic on the Shepparton Road and that she had given up everything. According to the Benalla rate books, Duncan had the hotel and 80 acres in 1878 and in 1882 his wife Christina had the hotel and 105 acres.
