There is a death for Helen McCawley at Temora in 1901, its the closest connection I could find. If Ellen died as Ellen SANDERSON, I wonder what she was doing in Byron Bay (surfing holiday?). There are some mistakes in the NSW indexes regarding place names, but I didn't see one for Temora/Byron Bay - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nswsdps/dps/nswbdmer.htm You may need to invest in a certificate or two to sort her out. You can use a transcription agent in NSW (much cheaper) and pay for just the fields you want, instead of a complete certificate. If you only want to confirm you have the correct person perhaps the death certificate for Ellen SANDERSON, asking just for the names of her children, would answer the question? http://www.transcriptions.com.au/ http://www.joymurrin.com.au/ Temora Family History Group might be able to clarify the information that is published in the book - Neil Martin, PO Box 181, Temora NSW 2666 temorafamilyhistory@bigpond.com Wattle Farm seems to still be in existence, if its the same one you mentioned in your email, no idea if they have records - http://www.fatcow.com.au/c/Wattle-Farm Cheers Trish Nowra NSW > The info that I have comes from the book "Temora Yesterday and Today" but > it > could be a misprint > It says that she died at "Wattle Farm" Broken Dam at the age of 57yrs sep > 1902??? > Steve ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-NSW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
