Tasmania, Victoria and New Zealand records added to Ancestry

Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk) has added four new sets of records for those with Australian and Kiwi based family:

Victoria, Australia, Lunatic Estates and Register, 1867-1906
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=60712

New Zealand, School Registers and Lists, 1850-1967
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=6193

Tasmania, Australia, Baptisms of Children of Convicted Women, 1833-1854
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=60750

Tasmania, Australia, Convict Court and Selected Records, 1800-1899
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=60920

The Tasmanian sets have been sourced from Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office in Hobart, and the Victoria collection from the Public Record Office Victoria, North Melbourne, but the New Zealand collection does not have any source given, save to say that the records have been keyed as part of the World Archives Project.
